Amplifying Analytics

We're always listening.

Helping podcast networks, creators, producers, and talent agencies use data to grow:

  •  
  • Podcast awareness and discoverability
  • Brand and talent perceptions
  • Concept and content appeal
  • Valuable understanding of listener behavior

Download data can offer valuable audience listening information, but it doesn't tell you the "why". We dive deep into tastes, trends, and perceptions to help clients increase audience engagement.

Actionable insights designed to help you

Podcast with Purpose.

Decoding data: Deeper than the download.

There is no shortage of download information in the podcasting industry.

Whether you’re using analytics from services like Chartable, statistics provided by Apple, Spotify, or Google, or data provided by your hosting platform, it’s not difficult to find metrics that can demonstrate how a podcast is performing on a macro level. And you need to know this information. Tracking download growth and decline, demographics, how much of each episode was listened to, and where your listeners are consuming the content is crucial. 

At Coleman Insights, we are brand and content people.

While audience metrics and usage trends can be helpful, podcast research from Coleman Insights is designed to answer questions that lead to deeper insights and strategies that help podcasts enjoy long-term success.
