How Podcast Ads and Omnichannel Storytelling Increased Landbot’s Visibility – A Podcast Ad Case Study
This case study explores how B2B PodPros leveraged in-depth podcast storytelling and LinkedIn to elevate Landbot’s brand positioning.

1. In-Depth Storytelling Through Custom Episodes
We arranged guest appearances for Landbot’s founder on selected podcasts that attract digital marketers and startup leaders. By focusing on industry-specific topics and challenges, these episodes provided an authentic platform for the founder to share insights and product benefits, creating a deeper connection with decision-makers than traditional ads.
How long did it take to find the ideal podcasts?
Almost instantly since the podcasts that aligned with their ideal audience were already a part of the B2B PodPros podcaster community.

2. Showcase Product Usability with Podcaster Engagement
To add practical value, we offered podcasters participating in the campaign an extended free trial of the Landbot AI chat widget. One of the podcasters, Maja Voje, captured a video of her installing the widget on her site. She then shared the video walkthrough with her audience via her newsletter and LinkedIn followers. The video demonstrated the ease of setup and effectiveness of Landbot’s solution to over thousands of marketers and saas founders, increasing credibility through real-user experiences.
Was it painful to get the podcasters to use the tool? Actually no. Eric, founder of B2B PodPros, has developed strong relationships with many b2b podcasters over time. Through their podcaster meetups, Slack channel, and one-to-ones, Eric has developed a good working relationships with the hosts in his community / network.
