11 Podcasts for Digital Advertising Professionals 

The world of advertising is ever-changing and constantly evolving. No wonder the trends you knew five years ago can barely be useful today. Any promotion strategy depends drastically on changes in society, technology, consumer psychology, and other factors. 

You can succeed in this unsteady world of digital marketing and create effective ads only if you keep up with urgent matters, and this list of the best advertising podcasts can help.

3 Benefits of Podcasts

In recent years, online podcasts have become a significant vehicle for sharpening the saw. In fact, more than half of Americans have listened to at least one podcast.

Here are several reasons podcasts are growing so fast:

Podcasts are accessible. As a free and convenient way to consume information, podcasts have become life-saving for folks during the worldwide quarantine. If you want to study a new topic or improve your current skills, you can do that anywhere you are. 

Second, they are easy to fit into your daily routine. If you have a task that does not require much attention, you can listen to a podcast while performing it.

Third, there is a huge variety of topics that podcasts cover. While tv, radio, and streaming music services are primarily for entertainment, podcasts offer a great medium for professional and personal education from the best minds in the industry. You can get information nearly on anything you want to discover or implement in your life.

Finally, video podcasts are becoming more popular. Although most people still listen to audio-only podcasts, video is on the rise. This is due in part to platforms like YouTube and Instagram, which make it easy to watch video content. And as more people consume video content on their phones, it stands to reason that video podcasts will continue to grow in popularity.

With so many podcasts to choose from, it is easy to get lost and confused. For those who use ads actively in their business, we have compiled the 11 most informative and helpful podcasts on digital advertising.
