authorToni Becker dateJune 08, 2021

Today, many businesses are looking for new ways to engage their audience, create community and build trust. This is because the modern day consumer expects a sense of connection, instant communication and insight from the brands they choose to do business with. We live in the digital age and thanks to social media and the world-wide-web, consumers and businesses are more connected than ever before and it is vital that businesses nourish this connection. This is why businesses and industry thought-leaders have taken to creating their very own podcasts. 

A podcast is an episodic series of digital audio files that a user can download to their personal devices for easy listening (imagine an on-demand radio show). Essentially, anyone is able to create a podcast  and any one is able to listen to a podcast.

Podcasts have the power to connect industry thought-leaders, business owners, entertainers and entrepreneurs to a worldwide audience and as a business leader - this tactic allows you to provide highly targeted and on-demand content to listeners who want to know more about your business insights. 

By investing time and effort into a business podcast you are able to build authority in your industry or niche which results in greater brand awareness, credibility and of course, increased sales. 

Podcasting continues to grow across the world, and new research has shown just how popular it is in the UAE. According to statistics released by broadcast specialists Markettiers, there are 1.3 million regular podcast listeners in the UAE. In fact, an astounding 16% of the UAE’s adult population are tuning into podcasts at least once a week.

With these numbers ever growing, it is no wonder Dubai plays host to some of the best business Podcasts in the UAE.
