Messaging that works on podcasts:

  • Focus on clarity: State who you are, what you do, and where listeners can learn more.
  • Focus on features: Instead of “colorful and bright,” say “12 neon colors.” Podcast listeners prefer specific information.
  • Include current creative: Established slogans are allowed and may integrate with existing creative.
  • Acknowledge shared values: Where possible, underscore agreement with Short Coat Podcast, Carver College of Medicine, and listener values:
    • service to others
    • research
    • scientific literacy
    • evidence-based practices
    • positivity
    • collaboration instead of competition.
