Why does my hospitality business need a podcast?

1) Impact that lasts

Podcasts are remembered 4x better than traditional advertising. That’s because your brain stores deep listening in long-term memory; making podcasts one of the most powerful ways to share your story.

2) Real connection

Audio captures emotion and atmosphere in a way no other medium can. From the clinking of glasses to your chef sharing their passion, your story comes alive - making people feel connected to your brand before they even step inside.

3) Accessible & inclusive

Podcasts are easy to listen anytime, anywhere: while commuting, cooking, or working out. And with transcripts or video, they’re also accessible for the deaf and hard of hearing.

4) Strong employer branding

A podcast showcases your vision, values, and team spirit in a way no job ad ever could. It inspires your current staff, makes them feel proud to be part of the story - and attracts new talent who already feel connected before they even apply.

5) Evergreen value

Unlike a quick ad or social post, podcasts keep working for you long after launch. Episodes stay online, are re-listened months later, and new listeners often start from episode one; making your story relevant again and again.

Did you know…

…that podcasts are remembered 4x more than social media content, because your brain stores deep listening in long-term memory?

  • We start with an introduction call (or in your venue). Together, we explore your mission, your atmosphere, and the stories you want to tell.

  • Based on our conversation, we create a concept and script. Nothing complicated: just a clear plan to make sure your story shines.

  • We record in your own venue, so the clinking glasses, the coffee machine, and the voices of your team become part of the story. Recording takes around 2-3 hours.

  • We take care of everything: sound design, editing, mixing and (if chosen) video. You only need to listen and give feedback.

  • You’ll receive podcast episodes, video snippets for social media, and visuals to use on your website, newsletter, or in-store with QR codes.
