Despite the surge of video, audio‑only content continues to matter—and for good reason. Many users consume audio during commuting, workouts or while multitasking, making it a unique channel for engagement. According to recent data, brands using a mix of video and audio outperform those using video alone.
Here’s why your business should keep sound in the mix.
Advantages of audio‑only formats
- Accessibility: Listeners can consume without needing to watch screen; ideal for mobile users.
- Flexibility: Easier and quicker to produce than video; you can record on the go.
- Focus on voice: Your message can come through clearly without visual distractions; builds trust and intimacy.
- Evergreen use: Audio episodes can be repurposed as transcripts, blogs, short clips and more.
Best practices for businesses
- Define your format: interview‑style, narrative story, quick tips.
- Use quality microphone and quiet environment; even inexpensive gear can deliver high‑quality sound.
- Publish consistently: pick a cadence, e.g., weekly 15‑minute insights.
- Promote across platforms: host as podcast, embed on website, share audio teasers to social.
- Reinforce your brand: use consistent intro/outro, describe visuals verbally for those listening only.
