The Era of Vodcasts: Why B2B Brands Are Expanding the Podcast Experience

In 2025, the B2B content landscape is undergoing another transformation—and this one’s on camera. Podcasts have long been a staple of modern marketing strategies, offering a powerful way to share expertise, spark thought leadership, and build brand affinity. But today, the medium is evolving. Audiences are gravitating toward a richer, more visual experience—and video podcasts, or vodcasts, are leading the way.

With YouTube now serving as the most-used platform for podcast consumption, marketers are taking note. This shift isn’t about replacing audio—it’s about expanding the storytelling toolkit.

Why video podcasts?

Adding video to your podcast strategy allows B2B brands to:

• Humanize subject matter experts by putting a face to the voice

• Create evergreen content that can be repurposed across channels

• Increase engagement through body language, tone, and visual storytelling

• Build trust by showing real people behind the brand

At MarketScale, we’ve seen how vodcasts unlock new layers of connection. From thought leadership shows to customer spotlights, video podcasts allow companies to create media properties that feel less like marketing and more like meaningful programming.

Brands like Salesforce and Deloitte are already embracing this evolution.

Their video-first shows:

• Highlight internal and external experts through unscripted dialogue

• Foster community-driven storytelling instead of one-way messaging

• Enable consistent publishing cadences with scalable formats

And it’s not just about YouTube. One well-executed vodcast can fuel content across multiple formats:

• Social clips

• Blog posts

• Email newsletters

• Internal enablement

• Event programming

This is the new standard in B2B media—decentralized, scalable, and rooted in authentic expertise.

Of course, audio-only podcasts still play a critical role. They’re portable, accessible, and remain a powerful tool in the content stack. But layering in video doesn’t replace that—it extends it.

The brands leading the way aren’t just producing shows. They’re building trust, credibility, and community—one episode at a time.
