Considering raising your marketing game by starting a podcast? Here’s how to get a successful podcast up and running.

With 38 per cent of Canadians aged 18 to 54 now listening to podcasts on a weekly basis, many startups have found the medium an effective and budget-friendly way to get noticed. However, for every successful podcast, there are hundreds that fall short because the creator lacks the skills and knowledge to build an audience. If getting involved in this world has been an ambition for a while, or you are worried you can't afford not too, this session will help provide you with an understanding of how to get started, or if you should at all.

Lunch will be provided!
