This is a podcast episode titled, Establishing the Audience and Goals for Your Podcast with HubSpot's Meghan Keaney Anderson. The summary for this episode is: Today’s conversation is with Meghan Keaney Anderson, Vice President of Marketing at HubSpot, and host of The Growth Show podcast. Meghan’s journey with podcasting started with The Growth Show five years ago. At the time, HubSpot had popular blogs that attracted mid-level marketers. However, her team needed a vehicle to reach people later in their careers — in decision-making roles — that didn’t have time to read blogs. They believed a podcast could capture the attention of those executives during their own little windows of time, and they were right. For Meghan, each podcast has a distinct problem it is trying to solve or a distinct theory it is chasing down. She believes that podcasting can fill a unique space in the market and attract new audiences if done successfully. Hear about how to establish that audience, understand the purpose of your podcast, and measure its success in today's conversation.
