Nothing as personal, nothing as profound as a podcast. It's a fantastic way to reach your target group. Make yourself heard as a brand, with branded podcasts, internal podcasts or fascinating conversations that touch your target group.
Creating a strong, branded podcast starts with finding the most compelling stories, identifying the right format, and selecting the most convenient release frequency.

We work with the A-B-C-D model of podcast production. We approach every podcast question with this method, so that we can develop a solid, creative podcast concept
The A of Audio Domain
Where are the opportunities? Where can you score? What makes your brand stand out? The strategic basis of your podcast starts with determining your domain, your target group, your objectives, a competitive analysis and how your audio content will fit in your brand story.
The B of Branded Podcast Story
What is your story? What do you want to say? What is your target group waiting for? What do they need? Do they have questions that need answers? All important factors for consideration before we consider form and content.
The C of Creative Translation
In other words: it’s all about the content. Developing the strategy and your story into creative podcast series. In podcasts everything is possible: an in-depth interview in the studio, reportage in search for answers or a game wrapped in audio. There is something to be said for each form, as long as your brands goals have been identified and can be achieved.
The D of Distribution & Promotion
Which channels do your target group use? Branded podcasts require a distribution plan. This can be stimulated by social media campaigns (with the help of teasers, for example) or in your own channels such as newsletters. But it’s never just a podcast. DON'T FORGET: Is there any other content (articles, tools, video) that can be created or added to?
The branded audio content market is a growing market, but unlike branded TV content, it’s not the media operators that are in the lead now, it’s the brands. Brands determine the form and content of their podcasts, and can thus build their brand, without being dependent on others.
We believe in the branded podcast format because it’s proven, and it works. It gives focus, provides your brand with recognition from your target group and makes space for creativity and entertainment. You can also easily embed formatted branded podcasts into your brand and content strategy So we unburden you in all areas of making a podcast: scripting, researching, editing, hosting, distribution and promotion.
iO is an expert in the fields of content marketing and building brands. Specialists who understand the big picture. They know what brands want and know how to reach your target group.
We work with brands. A lot of podcast creators are good at content but aren’t good at developing content that fits in with their brand and brand strategy.
We provide strategies that embed the podcast in your brand’s complete (content) marketing story. A podcast never stands alone.
We provide consistency of design. A podcast is more than just an audio product, it’s available in numerous environments, so the title, the design, the brand link is crucial.

ABN AMRO MeesPierson - Corona and the impact on entrepreneurs
March 2020. A moment of great uncertainty. What was this chaos that we found ourselves in? At the start of the pandemic, from an attic room, with ramshackle video call connections, we interviewed an entrepreneur every day. A podcast about the impact of the corona pandemic on their business, and what tips they have for fellow entrepreneurs.
In My First Company we follow Viviënne Sluman, a young ambitious student who wants to start her own business, a fashion brand for men. She talks to the people in her social circle. What do her parents and friends think about her wanting to start her own business? Can they help her bring clarity to her idea? Are they protecting her from any risks? And what's the next step once you’ve defined your idea? Her podcast tracks her progress as she talks to entrepreneurs, banks, accountants, and the Chamber of Commerce.
Infinite Opportunities podcast
Of course, we also put theory into practice for our own podcast: Infinite Opportunities. In this podcast, we feature experts from within and outside iO talking about digital transformation, innovation, the future of marketing, and much more.
