Paid podcast distribution: the executive field guide by Heard Of

Follow one campaign
through the decision.

The guide follows an illustrative episode about a manufacturer's system rollout. Audience research shapes the brief. The cost model makes the budget comparable. The campaign review shows what deserves another investment.
