A first-rate B2B podcast will give marketers regular access to some of the industry’s leading influencers – and something worthwhile to do on the tube. So every item on this list comes with two promises: education and entertainment. Here’s our guide to the top five B2B marketing podcasts that will make you better at your job.
1.
Sophisticated Marketer’s Podcast
Hosted by Jason Miller, leader of global content and social media marketing initiatives at LinkedIn
Jason’s trademark rock ‘n’ roll flavour sets a vigorous pace for discussion, covering everything from storytelling in B2B to effective time management. Each episode gives you opportunity to listen to him riff ideas and anecdotes with industry heavy-weights – our

2.
Flip the Switch
Hosted by Uberflip
Keen to avoid the well-worn ‘two-blokes-chew-the-fat’ formula? Well, you could do far worse than Uberflip’s ‘Flip the Switch’ series. One of the longest running on this list, it’s both convivial and down to business with snappy intros followed by straight-up conversation from bright marketing minds. Tune in to new episodes every Tuesday to hear talk of tools, tactics and processes behind driving growth and optimising campaigns.

the csuite podcasts

Recorded in-studio and on location in places like Toronto and Cannes Lions, it sets out to explore ‘the latest trends and issues in social media, digital and innovation in communications’ and does so with panache.
