Founder and CEO at Podcast Network Asia
Philippines
Vision:
Podcast Network Asia’s dream is to make podcasting mainstream in Asia and to be the leading podcast content aggregator and producer.
Problem:
Podcasting is on the cusp of unprecedented growth but there are common problems that prevent it from realising that potential which are the ff:
1. Podcast Production Standards are not consistent - As more people create podcasts, the audio quality varies which turns listeners and brands off
2. Podcast Monetization - Content creators do not know how to monetize their content
3. Podcast Analytics - Unlike other media, podcasts can be consumed in at least 2 dozen apps which makes the data difficult to aggregate and measure effectively
Product:
We help podcasters solve the problems mentioned above by doing the following:
1. Providing the best shows with world class audio production facilities (studio,equipment) and post-production staff to create great sounding audio
2. We help monetize the podcasts that we support and do a revenue share of 70/30 to 50/50 depending on how involved we are in the show
3. We created our podcast analytics platform called http://podmetrics.co that aggregates all the necessary metrics podcasters and brands care about under one platform
