What’s in the “secret marketing sauce” for podcasts from Netflix and PBS to hit the top of the charts, reach target audiences, and win coveted awards? Whether you’re interested in launching a podcast or want to scale up your current show’s audience growth strategy, today’s episode is for you.

Last month, The Podglomerate co-hosted a special Podcast Marketing 101 webinar with The Webby Awards, the annual competition that has been named “the internet’s highest honor” by The New York Times. This virtual event was hosted by The Webby Awards’ General Manager Nick Borenstein – who, fun fact, is the award-winning producer for the hit podcast Missing Richard Simmons! And it featured Webby Award-winning judge and our very own SVP of Marketing & Audience Development Joni Deutsch, who shared an exclusive look at The Podglomerate’s tried-and-true playbook for optimized podcast publicity, marketing, cross-promotions, app features, and paid acquisition. They also discussed the science of awards submissions and how to strengthen your entry to increase the chances of bringing home a trophy.

The 2025 Webby Awards entry period closes on February 7, so be sure to get your entry in asap if you want to see your podcast recognized for being the best in its field. Head to webbyawards.com, where you can also learn more about becoming a Webby Awards judge. Tell them The Podglomerate sent you.
