Podcast Strategy
Podcast visibility built around expertise, audience and opportunity.
Mackasey helps executives, founders and experts use podcasts to build authority, reach relevant audiences and deepen the conversations around their work.
We identify the strongest topics, position the guest clearly and connect them with shows that fit their expertise, goals and audience.
The work may include podcast guest strategy, targeted outreach, interview preparation, podcast development or a coordinated program that connects podcast visibility with public relations and thought leadership.

How We Approach Podcasts
A strong podcast appearance begins long before the recording starts.
We first identify what the guest can contribute, which subjects are most relevant and what audiences need to hear from them. From there, we develop the positioning, interview themes and outreach strategy most likely to create a meaningful match.
The goal is not to appear on as many podcasts as possible. It is to participate in credible conversations that build authority, strengthen relationships and support the client’s larger visibility goals.
Every podcast opportunity is connected to the client’s expertise, positioning and broader communications objectives.
We research hosts, shows, formats and audiences rather than relying on broad, generic outreach.
Clients receive the messaging, themes and interview guidance needed to make each conversation useful and memorable.
What Podcast Strategy Can Include
Podcast work can be a focused guest campaign, an ongoing visibility program or the development of the client’s own show. The scope is built around the audience, objective and level of support required.
Defining the guest’s positioning, priority topics, audience and overall opportunity.
Creating a clear, compelling introduction to the guest’s expertise, story and interview value.
Identifying relevant shows, hosts, formats and audience communities.
Personalized pitching, follow-up and relationship development with hosts and producers.
Developing useful topics, stories and messages that support a strong conversation.
Guidance on structure, tone, delivery, difficult questions and opportunity-specific preparation.
Coordinating responses, scheduling, materials, follow-up and recording details.
Creating or strengthening a client-owned podcast, including concept, positioning, format, guest direction and editorial planning.
Connecting podcast appearances with LinkedIn, Substack, media relations, thought leadership and other visibility channels.
Ways to Engage
A focused campaign built around clear positioning, targeted outreach and a defined group of relevant podcast opportunities.
Consistent research, outreach, booking support and interview preparation designed to build authority over time.
Strategy and editorial support for launching, refining or growing a client-owned podcast.
Every engagement includes a defined strategy, scope, responsibilities, timeline and opportunity-management process.
Where the Conversations Happen
Mackasey develops podcast programs across the United States, Canada and international markets.
We work across business, healthcare, technology, travel, education, sustainability, agriculture, professional services and other specialist sectors.
The size of a show matters less than its relevance. A highly focused podcast with a trusted audience can create more value than a broad appearance with little connection to the client’s work.

Stronger interview themes
Reusable content and ideas
One connected communications program
Why Mackasey
A booking only matters when the fit is right.
Clients work directly with senior strategists who understand how to position expertise, identify relevant opportunities and prepare guests to contribute something useful.
We look beyond download claims and show descriptions. We consider the host, subject matter, audience, format, credibility and potential value of the conversation before recommending an opportunity.
The people shaping the strategy remain closely involved in research, outreach and opportunity decisions.
Every show is evaluated for fit with the client’s expertise, audience and objectives.
Clients are prepared to communicate clearly, contribute useful ideas and make the most of each appearance.
