Impressive right?
Platforms like Wiselabs, Google Alerts, Talkwalker, Pulsar allow this to happen almost seamlessly for brands and business owners. Previously, brand monitoring was mostly used to track online content like articles, web pages, blogs, forums and social media channels however AI tech has now expanded this into medium into mainstream media: namely, audio/podcasting.
Brand monitoring platforms use AI analysis providing insights about your brand on all social channels in nearly 200 languages.
Think of brand monitoring tech like having an extra set of eyes or ears listening out whenever you or your brand is mentioned online, in a podcast or on social media. In other words, discover what customers really think about your brands and products in real time, allowing you to get a 360° view of what is being said about your products/service/brand/business.

Recent advances in speech-to-text and transcription technology have made podcast monitoring scalable and affordable so why not find out what is being said about your brand.
Below is a list of questions to ask a podcast before sponsoring their show:
- Analytics – Don’t be afraid to ask the podcast what their show analytics are because this will determine their reach and importantly, what they charge to promote your business/products/brand.
- Engagement – Podcast engagement is also very important in brand advertisement because ideally you want your brand/products/service promoted by a podcaster who has an engaged audience.
- Social media is very important in creating one’s brand so check out the podcaster’s social media to ensure the podcast asking for sponsorship is in line with your business/brand ethos.
How to sponsor a podcast?
Marketers will now understand and reach a whole new target audience, and PR teams will gain a new media outlet to pitch for their clients.
In summary, brand owners should utilise tech and other brand monitoring AI platforms to get more in-depth data of what is being said about your products/service.
Also remember that podcast analytics shouldn’t be the only metric that dictates whether you sponsor a podcast. Engagement is just as important particularly for niche/small business owners.
