Areas of Expertise
In 2016, Edge Media Studios decided to use their own expertise in the professional recording industry to introduce an innovative experience to the Midwest.
With podcasts, talk radio, and TV shows emerging as some of the fastest growing marketing tools to reach targeted audiences, Edge Media Studios is uniquely positioned to guide a client through the development of a podcast.
At Edge Media Studios, we understand the challenges of targeting your audiences. You need the right message delivered in a highly engaging format that will ensure you are making a connection with listeners. We help you achieve your goals through a strategy that takes into all aspects of the production, including branding, scripted segments, organization, and teasers.
You can expect your engagement with Edge Media Studios to include a stress-free experience that includes these three primary phases:
Consultation
A collaboration with Edge Media Studios starts with a consultation. A thorough analysis is critical in establishing a good foundation, whether or not you already have a show. We assess your goals against what you already have accomplished with your branding and marketing endeavors.
If you have an existing show, we will listen in to take notes on the flow, audience engagement, content and delivery. We will identify areas that stand out as strengths and other aspects that may need room for improvement.
We also will explore various broadcast styles that fit your personality and subject matter. Do you prefer a more straightforward, strictly informative format? Entertaining? Narrative? Serial? Do you want to regularly invite guests? We also determine the show’s length — 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, or 90 minutes — based on the needs of your audience.
At the end of that process, we will ensure that you have a format and brand presence that is an ideal fit for your personality, but also that is effective at hitting your marketing objectives.
Strategy
As part of the next phase, our team may propose a strategic plan that outlines improvements in organization, teases, scripts, and personalization of the hosts — all to improve the overall listener experience. The end goal is a more structured, concise and engaging show format.
Another critical step in this phase is to assess the content of the show, identifying compelling topics that are more likely to resonate with listeners based on feedback and comprehensive research on the hosts’ area of expertise. We help you identify gaps in your content calendar as well as uncover opportunities to discuss topics that are being missed by your competitors.
As we have with some of our clients, Edge Media Studios may propose branding strategies to enhance prospective listeners’ ability to quickly identify the focus of the show as well as improve online search results. A strong branding experience is critical to your success.
Management
Running a weekly or monthly podcast can be demanding and stressful, with hosts regularly running into challenges to maintain an engaging and informative experience for their listeners. With each show, there’s the risk of losing your audience’s interest.
The team at Edge Media Studios eases that stress by providing a comprehensive production management services. We provide guidance on the structure, assessing performance to ensure that our clients are on target with their goals. We take the guesswork out of the production of your show.
We assist with scripting, transitional imaging, intros to the show, bumpers for theme segments, intros over music beds, voice-over talent…if you have no idea what any of those terms mean, that’s why we’re here. We provide those services so you don’t have to worry about any of them.
Marketing processes is an additional offering that is integrated into all aspects of our services. We realize that gaining a larger market share is core to your production.

From the consultation to the airing of your podcast may span about four to five weeks, depending upon arrival times and other factors. To cut down on studio time, some clients opt to host multiple shows during one recording session.
Recording in our studio in downtown Indianapolis is its own experience.
