Podcast Production Services
Nowadays, podcasts have become one of the most popular communication channels and marketing tools for businesses, artists, and anyone else who wants to reach a large audience and spread their message. But not every podcaster can succeed in this vast sea of podcasts that come out every day. That’s where Saurus’s professional podcast production services come in and help you take your podcasting game to the next level, creating memorable podcasts that live up to your original ideas (or kill them if they’re not worth it!).
At Saurus, we believe that a good microphone and audio recording software or mobile app aren’t enough to create a successful podcast; an engaging podcast is based on research, comes from an original and compelling idea, and is created by professionals. That’s why we’ve gathered professional and experienced podcast enthusiasts, writers, sound editors, voice actors, and podcast directors on our podcast production team. No matter how big or small (or even how awkward!) your idea is, they can turn it into something that truly engages, excites, and intrigues listeners.
With our podcast production services, you can ensure that your podcasts reach a wider audience and are taken seriously by both professionals and regular audiences (hopefully not so seriously that it brings harsh criticism!). And depending on the goals of your podcast, we can also help you convert listeners into paying customers or loyal fans.
The podcast production team at Saurus uses all the tools at their disposal (or anyone else’s!) to make podcasting easy for you. If you need help refining your podcast idea, developing engaging content, or spreading the word to your target audience, we’re here for you. We’re happy to help you get your message across effectively by distributing relevant, high-quality content designed specifically for the audience in your niche. From initial content strategy to advanced distribution and monetization, you can count on us at every step of the way to create an exceptional and popular podcast.
What Does Podcast Production Entail?
Although creating a podcast may seem like a simple and easy task, it’s actually a delicate and complicated process that should be taken seriously (well, not that seriously!). Saurus, as a professional podcast production company, breaks down the process into five main steps:
-
Ideation and Preparation
This is the first step of the podcast production process, where we begin our journey together. Here we listen to your ideas and see what results you want to achieve with your podcast. This step includes the following tasks:
- Audience research
- Topic research
- Idea generation
- Brand audit
- Content strategy
- Schedule strategy
-
Pre-Production
This includes everything we do after we have found common ground and know what needs to be done, but before we actually start recording the podcast, including:
- Writing the script
- Researching and inviting guests
- Scheduling the guests
- Choosing the host
- Studio setup
- Equipment setup
-
Production
Well, this is the real game where we record the podcast based on the written script and with the selected hosts and guests in our studio, on location, or via online communication channels.
-
Post-production
In this step, we transform the recorded audio files into a cohesive and engaging podcast that will surely (or at least hopefully!) captivate your listeners by the end of each episode. Saurus’s podcast post-production services include the following:
- Editing
- Mixing
- Mastering
- Artwork design
- Transcription
-
Publishing and Monetization
If you think our work is done after post-production and we leave you alone after the podcast is delivered, you’re fortunately mistaken. At Saurus, we’ll work with you until the end of the project to help you publish, distribute, market, promote, and even monetize your podcasts. In the process, we’ll use all the online resources at our disposal to increase your reach. We’re also happy to help you find the perfect sponsors or partners that are a good fit for your target market and your company’s values.
Why Does Every Business Need a Podcast?
Since the advent of social media, the relationship between businesses and customers has grown more intimate. However, since customers’ time is limited, the only companies that will win the competition are those that use all available tools and channels to connect with their target audience on a more personal level.
At Saurus, we believe that podcasts are one of the most valuable and effective marketing channels that (lucky for you!) not all businesses are using to their advantage. And that’s mostly because a large percentage of business owners (certainly not you, dear client!) don’t know the benefits of podcasts for businesses. Since you’re here, we’re sure you’re smart enough to consider podcasts as a way to communicate with your audience; but let’s take another look at why podcasts are good for businesses:
- Podcasting helps increase brand awareness.
- It strengthens your position in your industry and can even establish you as an industry leader.
- It helps you connect with your customers on a more personal level.
- It helps you build a fan base among your potential and existing customers, leading to greater customer loyalty.
- It can help increase brand visibility and gain more followers on social media.
- It can increase traffic to your website and boost your online presence.
- It’s much more affordable than video content.
- It can help you raise money for your startup (through sponsorships, partnerships, podcast advertising, and other monetization channels).
Even though podcasts are becoming more and more popular, that’s no reason to start one immediately and blindly. You may have an overview of your podcast’s topic and even an idea of what your listeners will find interesting, but you still need to know how to produce a good podcast, and that’s what we’re here for! Our team of experts at Saurus will help you through every step of the podcast production process, so you can turn your brilliant (or not so brilliant!) idea into a compelling experience for your listeners and even yourself!
So if you have an idea for a podcast and need help fleshing it out, or if you don’t have an idea yet but are thinking about starting a podcast, call Saurus now so we can begin our exciting journey together ASAP! Just don’t take too long, or all those good podcast ideas will be picked up by your competitors, and you’ll be left with practically nothing, OK?
