The Top Podcast Production Agencies for Brands [2024]

Launching a podcast takes a lot of work. It’s not as simple as grabbing the mic, speaking your mind, and publishing. If you want your brand podcast to be successful, you’ll need to add a few more steps to the process. Analyzing competitors, brainstorming a stand-out concept, selecting and booking guests, recording, post-production editing, and marketing are all a part of creating a brand podcast. Sound a little overwhelming? Well, this is where podcast agencies come in.

A good podcast agency’s purpose is to help brands and creators conceptualize, produce, and promote podcasts. Each one may have something different to offer you. Just a glance at some of the services they offer: concept development, scriptwriting, recording, editing, distribution, marketing, and analytics tracking.

Podcasting agencies are there to make sure you don’t just publish any old content, but that you put a successful show out there. They streamline the production and promotion, improve your show’s quality, and reach your target audience.

Partnering with a leading podcast agency can be a game-changer. To help you find the best partner for your show, we’ve come up with a list of the top podcast production agencies for brand podcasts. But before we get into it, how exactly do you pick an agency?

How to pick the right podcast agency for you?

The audio industry is expanding, and there are a lot of good agencies out there. Finding the best podcast agency for your needs can feel a bit daunting. With so much great talent out there, how do you know who’s going to be best for your brand podcast?

There are a few things I’d say you should  consider:

• Aligned values & work style: You want to find a producer who fits well with your team, is familiar with the subject matter, and communicates effectively for smooth collaboration on big projects. It can help if they have worked on shows in the same industry as yours.

• Podcast format: Identify what kind of podcast format you’d like: interview, narrative, video, or even multilingual. Different agencies prove to shine in different areas.

• Budget: For many, budget is an important and limiting factor. Consider the value this podcast can bring to your brand, and what you are willing to invest for that value. Compare what the cost would be to produce a show in-house vs outsource to a professional agency. It’s important you feel good about the service you’ll get, but you’ll also get what you pay for.

• Listen to their portfolio: Has this agency worked for clients similar to you and your company? You’ll want to listen to their past shows to see what creativity and innovation they bring to the podcast. Are they pushing new podcasting styles, or staying classic (and which do you prefer)?

• What are you actually looking for? Some brands are just looking for straightforward editing to take some of the work off their hands. Others might want an agency that will create a captivating podcast from end to end. Before you start your search, consider what you really want out of working with a podcast agency.

Whether you need a full-service agency that handles every aspect of your show or one that specializes in a particular area like video or multilingual shows, this guide will help you make an informed choice.

The Cost of Hiring a Podcast Agency

I know what you are thinking: what budget do we need to set aside for a podcast agency?
To give you a short answer: it depends. It depends on what services you need, more than that, it depends on the value you are looking for.

In some cases, you may find an agency will cost less than producing the podcast in-house, and it will save you a lot of time. Overall, this makes a podcast agency your best option.

However other podcast agencies might be pushing that budget.

Yet, high-end podcast production companies know how to produce and grow a show that will expand your reach and make you stand out. Working with podcast experts means you are going to get an incredible production. The value of that end product will be unmatched. A great, not good, podcast can elevate your brand and let you connect with audiences, unlike any other content medium.

When it comes down to it, you get what you pay for.

Before you write off an agency for the initial cost, consider the big picture, and what your brand has to gain from a successful podcast.
