Audivita Studios Connects Your Voice to the World with its Powerful, Virtual Team Approach

David Wolf • July 28, 2022

Content reigns. And it’s not so much the written word that people are devouring, but podcasts. About 30% of Americans listen to podcasts each week. It’s revolutionizing how people spend their time. 

It’s not surprising that Amazon, Spotify and YouTube are making some strategic Podcast moves. Or that Conan O’Brien signed a $150 million podcast deal with SiriusXM. O’Brien’s Team Coco has become a podcasting force, bringing in 180 million downloads a year.


David Wolf, founder of Audivita Studios, an audiobook, video and podcast production company in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is also navigating these new waters. “We’re dancing with a dynamic, evolving, challenging market and it seems we’re very much in step with it,” he says. Come 2024, podcasts will make up 34.2% of US digital audio services ad spending at $2.56 billion. 

“It all starts with audience development,” says Wolf, whose previous company, Crywolf Productions, Inc. (1985–1999) and its recording studios provided music, sound design and production services for advertising and studios like Amblin, Discovery Channel, NBC Universal, and Disney, along other well-known brands. 


Many startup podcasters are anxious to monetize their content with advertising.


“No advertiser is going to pay you for zero audience,” says Wolf. “There are 5 million podcast series out there and 63 million separate episodes out there. But only half of them have been listened to 26 times. 2% are killing it, while the rest of the podcasts aren’t. We are looking at how our podcasters can solve that problem.”


The key is creating programs that meet the demand of the diverse podcast audience as podcasts help advertisers reach an even broader consumer audience.  Podcast ad spending is slated to surpass $2 billion in 2023 and $5 billion by 2026.


Arguably, any entity can have a podcast. From DIY on Anchor to working with a company like Audivita that is full service, helping create the series. Today, Audivita has 50 podcast series in production on their network, spanning genres such as real estate, leadership, cloud computing, virtual CFO’s, macular degeneration, mental health and more. 


“Our current network of shows is designed to move the needle on whatever our client’s backend business is and help them grow that business with the content they produce with us,” says Wolf. 


But what makes a podcast a hit is original content tapped into the cultural zeitgeist. And Wolf’s “Audivita Originals” plans to do just that.


“In addition to producing podcasts that are designed to grow a business, Audivita Originals are entertainment podcasts, a very different animal, and an exciting place to be growing,” says Wolf. “We are co-developing from the ground up, with a plan to build a sizable audience,” he says. “Due to the caliber of talent and the popularity of the subject matter, it seems achievable.” The Audivita Originals podcasts currently in production are “Evolutions Per Minute,” an engaging deep dive into the influence of hip hop on jazz and vice versa and “Stories in the Room,” conversations with the players who contributed to Michael Jackson’s
Thriller album.


“To promote the Originals podcasts we’ll create a plethora of video clips that will be extracted from the episodes to promote each series on multiple social media channels, all moving toward creating partnerships and sponsorships to support production and drive revenue,” says Wolf.  “At a certain point, when you get between 6,000 to 10,000 streams per episode, then you can step into a zone where you can bring in some sponsorships and start charging for the exposure.”


“We’re a virtual company so our below the line expenses is purely soft,” says Wolf.​​ The Audivita team is composed of producers and audio editors with extensive experience producing audio for film, television and multimedia. Shaun Hettinger heads the podcast production team of Audivita. He brings years of experience composing music and creating audio for film, TV and multimedia, all of which informs how he designs the listener experience. When he’s not producing podcasts for Audivita, he composes TV and film scores for clients like Amazon, YouTube, MTV, Gatorade, Revlon, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, The Hallmark Channel, and others. Shaun recently composed the theme song for Netflix’s first ever nightly talk show: Chelsea Handler’s “Chelsea.”


 “The production platforms we use are very light, which makes us nimble as a company and frees the cash up to explore and do other things,” says Wolf. 


Wolf also sees the growth potential in audiobooks. “Since 2015, the audiobook market has been growing at a rate of 25% to 28%,” he says. “About 80,000 audio books were produced in 2021.”


With one in eight books being an audiobook, Audivita produces hundreds of audiobook titles a year offering remote, virtual recordings of authors narrating their books (typically nonfiction) and also casting professional voice actors (typically fiction titles). Mark Shipman heads Audivita’s Audiobook division. With forty years experience as a recording engineer and producer and more than three decades in marketing and business leadership, Mark has expertise to add to the production process.  Whether you need a performance coach for author narration, or a professional narrator, Audivita offers it all. 


Many authors are asking why they should consider producing an audiobook version of their title. “We tell our authors and publishers that we’re unlocking a new audience that doesn’t feel they have the time to sit and read. Whether it’s time scarcity, energy scarcity or they just don’t process information that way. These are people who would rather be listening while walking the dog or doing errands.”


Much of Audivita’s audiobook production business comes from partnering with publishers or publishing service providers that either recommend them or use their services as part of the publishers’ brand. In this case, the publisher will hand their author off to Audivita for the recording, editing, casting, or recording of the author if they’re reading the book themselves.


Business in the age of COVID has never been so fluid and flexible nor so far ranging when it comes to strategies to meet the content consumer on the go. No one is static. And Audivita is right in sync.

Public relations is one of the most important aspects of any business. But why is Public Relations so important to my business? Just look at the top corporations, banks, and multi-national businesses—you’ll see that they all have a PR department. Public relations help create a strong brand for your business, which gives you an edge over your competitors. A strong brand can help draw in customers and build your reputation. You’ll also be able to communicate with the media. Public relations is the art of managing the flow of information about a company or group to influence its public image positively. They play a fundamental role at every level of business and industry, from small start-ups to established corporations. Public relations are also one of the most cost-effective methods of communication. It is also a lot easier to implement than other strategies that require a lot of manpower, like advertising. It is the practice of managing the messages about your company or organization to promote a favorable public image, protect its interests, and respond to inquiries. Public relations can be a challenge for any company of any size. 14 reasons why PR is important Public Relations is much important for so any business to grow and scale. If you’re a start-up with only a few employees, for instance, PR is often the best choice because it’s not as expensive as advertising and can be done by a single individual. Now lets get on the reasons and advantages of public relations in businesses. #1. PR helps make you attractive Whether done in-house or by a PR agency, publicity helps increase your brand’s awareness, reputation, and visibility to the public as well as to potential customers. All three of these components are key to successful marketing. Public Relations helps communicate your message directly to the public and create awareness about your business in local, regional, and national news outlets, both online and in print. Having a brand name may seem like a given, but it is not for many companies. Various aspects play into the success of a brand; your logo, tagline, and even your product packaging. PR is key to making sure your brand name sticks in the minds of consumers. Public Relations is the most important facet of a company’s marketing mix. #2. PR helps you get the word out Once your product, service, or company has become known by consumers and potential customers, public relations has the challenge of getting it out there. The traditional advertising method is the most cost-effective form of marketing, but it’s often not the most effective. News media is the most common way to get your product or service in front of your target audience, but social media sites like Facebook and Twitter are also used. Social media is a great way to connect with potential customers, recruit staff and build brand awareness. Many companies have a dedicated PR position to reach out to social media sites, but it is a personal challenge for many business owners. There are key players to hit and content to create, so that PR can be a time-consuming process. #3. PRs is a marketing tool PR also plays a role in managing your brand’s image and image perception, essential in the long term. According to a report by CBIZ Human Resources Solutions, companies that are most successful at public relations are 18% more likely to see growth in their bottom line. This is where online PR comes in. Online public relations allows you to maintain control of your brand’s message, and it can also allow you to respond to inquiries more quickly. Crisis management is another aspect of public relations. When your brand is under attack or your business is faltering, you need a plan in action immediately. #4. PR builds your business There are many ways that PR can help grow your business and attract new customers, including any aspect of public relations such as blogging, web design, and social networking. Social media, in particular, gives potential customers a platform in which they can connect with your company. It’s often a good idea to put as much effort into your web design as you do your PR. Your online live website presence will be the first impression an audience has of your company, so ensure it’s professional and informative. Market research on social media is a great way to determine which platforms are the most effective and allocate time accordingly. #5. PR makes you memorable The data we have on our brains is tremendous, but there is only little we remember with time. To be memorable, you need to continue to reach the public multiple times. You may have a way of reaching their attention now, but if they are not satisfied with your product or service, they will not remember you. This is where PR can step in. The purpose is to make a picture that stands out and sticks in the minds of consumers so that they will remember your company or product. If someone is thinking about buying something, many different factors go into their final decision. If another brand or product comes up after they’ve decided on yours, it’s likely your PR will come to mind, and you’ll get the sale. #6. Develop your corporate image It is not enough to provide excellent service to your customers. You must also create an image for your company to attract other customers and build brand awareness among consumers. Public relations is a critical part of marketing your company and can bring in new business by increasing brand awareness and credibility. Your reputation will play a role in the way your business operates. If you build a reputation for being honest and sharing details, you will be rewarded with more customers. #7. PR helps you find the right message. This is why it’s important to continually monitor what consumers and the public say about your product or service. Your message will live or die by what is said. It is important to listen to what the public says and share that with your customers. That information will help you craft the right message for your company. You may need to change or adjust some of your PR efforts as your brand develops, but monitoring how consumers are talking about you will be important. If you’re a traditional business and don’t have the means to do this, PR is a great way to find out what your potential customers know about your product. #8. Improve your credibility Have you got interested in making a good impression on investors? Do it by doing some good PR, such as updating your LinkedIn profile, if you don’t already have one. Also, ensure your business contact information is correct. This can be done by updating your profiles on numerous social media sites. You may also consider building a LinkedIn group or following industry-related people. If they follow you back, they are more likely to view your company as credible. There are all kinds of ways that public relations can help you improve your credibility and that of your company. #9. PR builds your reputation One of the best ways PR can help your company is by building its reputation. There are many ways to do this, ranging from customer testimonials to positive press at industry events. Public relations are critical in business, and PR professionals across the country are always torn on how to best optimize their media. They want to ensure that they provide a good look for their brands while also gaining new customers. It’s not just the press that makes a difference. Word of mouth can be just as powerful. If you have happy and satisfied customers, they’re going to tell their friends. This is one of the most effective ways to build a good reputation for your company. Any publicity can make a reputation for your company and your products. #10. PR helps you think outside the box Public relations is good for getting your ideas in front of the public. You can spread the word about a new product and let customers decide whether to buy it. This technique is often used by businesses developing a product for the first time. It provides facts about potential consumers to gauge demand before making expensive products. You can easily hear how people feel about your product and then take it there. #11. PR is more cost-effective than advertising Although advertising can be more expensive, successful public relations campaigns will help you save money in the long term. It’s as there are so many aspects of public relations that you don’t pay for, such as your product’s logo and tagline. Each part of advertising has a price, but with PR, you spend only on PR to drive brand awareness and sales if you plan. #12. PR is the first step in branding It’s essential to begin thinking about branding your company when you launch a new product or service, not just through advertising. Good PR campaigns will help you build your brand image, so it’s important to get that started as soon as possible. This can be done through a campaign, such as a 24-hour launch party, designed to get the word out about your product and create goodwill with customers. It’s the perfect way to kick off your branding campaign. Public relations can also help you market your products and services once, if not several times. If you build a good message and drive good product reviews, your company will experience a rise in brand awareness and sales. #13. PR keeps your customers happy It is particularly true when you sell your products or services that are illegal, unstable, or dangerous, such as firearms and drugs. If new laws are passed, your best bet is to stay ahead of the curve and be proactive in public relations. This is why it’s important to keep the public up-to-date on new laws and potential regulatory changes. The government tends to react to consumer demands regarding areas people are concerned, such as health care, consumer safety, and security. It’s your job to share your customers’ concerns with the public. By doing this, you can make sure your company complies with new laws and regulations that may affect your business. It’s also an opportunity to improve relationships with customers and potential customers. Social media can help you do this by staying on top of the news and responding to customers’ concerns before they become a problem. #14. PR takes the pressure off you Your employees will make a huge difference in how well your PR campaign goes, but if you’re up to the challenge, it’s up to you to plan and execute this campaign. If you’re seeking a new job, many hiring professionals want to know what kind of experience you have with public relations. You need to show that you can communicate effectively and clearly, which is the key to a successful PR campaign. PR will help you learn how to manage people and even set the stage for making important connections in the future. So, despite the hard work in a successful public relations campaign, you will see results. Final thoughts  Public relations can help you sell more products or services, keep customers happy and make your company more valuable. Public relations basics learning and implementation are easy, so get them into your business. Public relations is a great way to grow your business and reach out to potential clients and customers. You can see that public relations are a long-term investment rather than one you make every day, but it will eventually pay off. A PR campaign will bring a long-term increase in the sales of your products. This increase means that you’ll see better profits over time and that your company can survive for a long time.

Public relations can help you build more relationships with your customers, increase the trust between your company and other corporations, and grow awareness for your company through different methods. In addition to these benefits, if done correctly, public relations can decrease the amount of negative press about your company. This article will cover all about benefit from public relations in my company. How PR can help your company There are many reasons that it’s a good idea for most businesses to work hard on their public relations, and you’re probably starting to see why. You must consider these points and use them as guidance when working to improve your public relations. If you don’t do this, then it will be tough for your business to succeed in the long run. What purpose does PR serve? PR is designed for several purposes, but the most common goals are to: Keep the public informed. Many people desire to know and understand their communities or companies, which PR can help with by letting them know about and understand local issues, history, and culture, as well as significant events in the community that they may have otherwise not known about. Promote ideas or goods. PR can help promote ideas and goods that are not easily seen. For example, if a company from the county is looking to expand in another country area, PR can help get the word out about their products or services by letting people know what they offer. Create loyal customers who are willing to spend more money than other companies in your industry. It could be done through coupons, advertisements or even concerts thrown for customers and friends of the company to buy more products. Public relations is one of those skills that many people seem to think they don’t need but by no means are those the only benefits of PR. Effective public relations can help a company in so many ways, and this blog post will help you realize the true worth of PR. Build more relationships with customers The first and most crucial way public relations can help your company is by building more relationships with customers. As a business owner, you want to create strong relationships with customers so that they will continue to buy from you and not from one of your competitors. You must always look for opportunities to cross-sell or up-sell. You might also want to look for opportunities in which you can support your customer or give them something extra like a gift or some other sort of surprise. Increase trust in your company Public relations can help your company is by increasing the trust between your company and the public. One of the most important things you need to do as a business owner is to be honest, and trustworthy. You need to have a reputation for being honest and reliable because when people come to you for something, whether it’s for advice or a new product, they will be more likely to buy from you if they believe that you are trustworthy. The first step in having a solid reputation for being trustworthy is by being honest. It’s okay to tell the truth even if you don’t like what people say about you. Believe it or not, your customers appreciate it when you dare to admit when you are in the wrong and stand behind your company. If you confess that you’re wrong about anything and acknowledge that you screwed up, people will respect that more than if they thought it was okay to lie their way out of things. Get the word out about your company Public relations can benefit your company is by getting the word out about your company. When you have good public relations tactics in place, you will be able to get your company recognized for the great things that you are doing. You will also get your customers talking about what a great company you are, and that’s an effective way to spread the word about what you can offer them. It is one of the most powerful benefits of public relations. Once you have an excellent reputation with your customers, they will be more likely to recommend you to other people. They won’t necessarily do this for free, but it’s a lot less expensive than advertising on television or any other form of traditional media. Reduce negative press The most important way that public relations can help your company is by reducing the amount of negative press about your company. People are more likely to share their stories when they have a terrible experience with a business than when they have a positive one. For example, suppose you go online and search for reviews of some restaurants in your area. In that case, you will probably find many more bad reviews about a chain restaurant than you will about an independent restaurant. The independent restaurant has a smaller chance of having someone who had a terrible experience with them. Still, the chain restaurant will have thousands of people with bad experiences. In this case, you will not only find that chain restaurants have a more negative press, but you will also notice that some of those stories are filled with lies. The most important thing for businesses to do is to make an effort to solve every problem that comes their way and always be willing to take responsibility for their mistakes. If you are going to be able to take responsibility for your mistakes and solve problems, you need to make sure that you’re practicing good public relations. Increase awareness for your company Public relations can help your company is by increasing awareness of your company. You want to make sure that people know who you are and what you’re all about, and this is one of the best ways to do it. It’s tough to gain a lot of attention for your business, but it will become much easier if you have the right public relations tactics. Lower the volume of negative press It can help a company is by lowering the volume of negative press about your company. Sometimes when you’re the primary source of bad press for a company, it can be challenging for them to move forward. It can affect your customers, employees, and even your reputation. It’s essential to keep an eye out for any negative stories about you so that you can work to improve them. Reduce complaints Public relations can help the company is by reducing the number of complaints about your company. Customers and other people who have had negative experiences with your company are more likely to share those stories with the public if they can put their dissatisfaction into words. If a business can work hard enough, these complaints will disappear over time because customers won’t continue to tell the same story repeatedly. Increase referrals from happy customers The eighth way they can help your business is by increasing the number of referrals from your customers. The more that your customers are satisfied, the more likely it will be that they will share their experience with the word. Some people will specifically recommend your company to everyone they know. Even if your customers don’t go around telling people about how great you are, it’s still a good idea for businesses to practice good public relations tactics. Improve your online reputation Public relations can help a business by improving your business’s online reputation. If your company has an excellent online reputation and is working hard to keep it that way, you shouldn’t have to worry too much about negative reviews. The more positive press that you have out there, the less likely it is that anyone will be willing to share their negative experience with the world. If someone tries to make their complaints heard, they won’t be able to do anything about it because they will look like the bad guy. Improve your general reputation The tenth way public relations can help your business is by improving your general reputation. You want to take things in your life seriously, and this should include your company. You never know who will end up talking about you or what they might say. If you have a terrible reputation, people will not only be less likely to support your company; they will be more likely to harass you. 7 tips for improving PR Public relations is an integral part of everyday life. It helps companies, communities, and individuals in their efforts to connect. It can be used to get the word out about new products and services, let ethical problems be known, and show others how good of a job someone has done. Public relations also does not just have one goal but many goals because it is designed for diverse purposes such as promoting a product or service, expressing an idea or ideology, or managing media attention after some event such as a natural disaster. PR is a vast topic encompassing many other issues discussed in the media, politics, and business. here is how you can expand your public relations: Create a PR plan Everyone wants to be successful, yet no one knows how to do it. A plan is an excellent way to succeed in public relations and help you reach your goals. Having a project to follow can make writing press releases and articles much more accessible than if you were trying to figure out what you will write and how you will present it. Set and meet deadlines Press releases and articles that do not reach their deadlines for publication can be very damaging. It has been proven that the more time a press release takes to get its reader, the less effective it is because the reader may have already moved on to something else. Press releases are usually sent through email to a news outlet’s public relations department, so they will get lost if they are not published as soon as they come in. To ensure that your press release gets posted on time, set up a deadline and keep track of its due date. Get experience The best way to get experience with public relations is to work for a company or organization that has public relations as part of their everyday duties or in a college or university PR department. Working for a company can help you learn about how a company uses PR, how to talk about the company’s goals and how to interact with members of the press corps. Working in an organization can allow you to speak to different people, practice writing press releases and articles, and learn how to give interviews. Join a PR club or organization When working in public relations clubs and organizations, you will be able to network with other students working at companies, organizations, or media outlets. You can also get experience by writing articles for their newsletter and by helping them with their PR projects, such as getting press releases published on the web. Get involved in something that requires public relations skills If you are interested in a subject commonly covered by the media, it will be challenging to practice your PR skills until you get involved in something. The more you apply yourself with a passion for public relations, the more you will become accustomed to putting out information that people need to know. Understand what makes people tick The art of gaining knowledge of people is known as psychographics. Knowing what makes people tick allows you to develop strategies that speak to a particular audience. If you are an employee trying to get information about a product out to the public, you will have more success if you know what your audience needs and how that product can be used to decrease their problems. Use PR technology Many forms of technology can be used in public relations, such as the Internet, email, radio, and television. Businesses commonly use technology as a form of advertising because it is cheaper than traditional forms of advertising.

It’s the way you communicate with your audience. The first impression matters, and your company’s public relations strategy is one of the key ways to make that first impression a good one. Good public relations can improve your business’s reputation, boost your sales, and even attract new customers. So, if you’re not actively managing your company’s PR, it’s time to get started. Public relations aren’t just for big companies and corporations. It’s for anyone who has a business to grow and wants to become more visible needs to consider public relations. Here are just a few reasons why public relations should be a key part of your business strategy: Help you build a positive reputation. A strong public relations strategy can help you build a positive reputation for your business. It is important because your reputation can have a major impact on your bottom line. If customers and clients perceive your business in a positive light, they’re more likely to do business with you. On the other hand, if your reputation is negative, it could dissuade potential customers from doing business with you. Assist you in reaching new customers An effective public relations strategy can help you reach new customers and expand your customer base. It is because PR can help you generate positive media coverage for your business. And when people see your business in the news or in other positive light, they’re more likely to consider doing business with you. Boost your bottom line Because public relations can help you build a positive reputation and reach new customers, it can ultimately lead to increased sales and revenue for your business. If you’re looking for a way to give your business a boost, public relations is a great place to start. Become the customer’s first preference When customers hear about you or your company, they often decide whether to buy from you based on the first impression they get. In fact, when people meet a company’s public relations representative for the first time, they’re almost three times more likely to choose that company over its competitors. That means that the right public relations strategy can make or break your business, so you should start right away if you’re not currently using public relations to build your reputation. Improve your sales Your company’s image and your customer service levels are both important factors that can influence customers’ decisions about whether or not to buy from you. But if you want to really boost your sales, you need to consider how to communicate your company’s strengths. Companies with excellent customer service were more likely to get more sales. People like to buy from a company with a positive brand name, even if it costs more. If you want to attract more customers and increase your sales, then improving your company’s public relations is a must. Social media engagement When you use public relations for your business, you don’t have to spend a ton of money. You can use free tools, such as Facebook and Twitter to help you spread the word about your brand. You can also try paid marketing strategies like social ads, which are advertisements on social media that people can click on. You can also buy ads on Google or Instagram. You can also use email marketing to help you get in touch with potential customers. Build business reach One of the most effective ways to increase your business’s visibility is to attract new customers through your public relations efforts. When you advertise your company’s products or services in the media, you get far more interest in those products than when you don’t advertise at all. The reason for this is simple: when you advertise, your company’s name and services come to mind for your potential customers. And when they think about buying from you, they’re more likely to do so if your company offers better products or services than its competitors. When you advertise, you’re telling potential customers that you offer something they want, and that makes them more likely to buy from you. Increase business visibility The internet is an amazing tool for marketing your business, but you can only reach so many people using only one method. If your social media channels are the only place people can see your company, then you’re missing out on a lot of potential customers. So, when you use a variety of marketing methods, you’re increasing your brand awareness. People will see that you’re different and unique, and you’re giving them something different from what they would find elsewhere. Build a loyal customer base The best way to attract new customers is to build loyalty among current customers. Loyalty is important because your current customers are more likely to tell their friends about you and recommend you to their family and friends. They’ll also buy from you more frequently, and more people will be exposed to your company’s offers. So, by building a strong public relations strategy, you can help your business to attract new customers and build loyalty among existing customers. Improve your business branding People may not always know what your brand stands for, but if you don’t promote yourself positively on social media, your audience won’t know what you stand for. If you create content that’s relevant to your audience, they’ll know who you are. They’ll know what you’re offering, and they’ll want to hear what you have to say. So, by doing these things, you’re establishing a strong connection with your audience. As you can see, public relations is a vital part of any business strategy. If you’re not utilizing PR to its full potential, you’re missing out on a major opportunity to improve your business. So, if you want to take your business to the next level, make sure you put public relations at the top of your list.

What it means to Succeed as a Senior Executive
By Jason Miller July 28, 2022
Keep everything simple: Complication in any business development plan or strategy leads to overload and overload leads to failure. If a third grader can understand what you do and how you do it, then it’s a win. I often see companies create complex applications that solve a lot of problems, but they can’t explain how it works in an effective way. If the market doesn’t understand it, they won’t buy it.

Long ago, a business executive famously said, “Half of all of the money I spend on advertising is wasted. I just don’t know which half.” This quote is often credited to marketing pioneer and retail magnate John Wanamaker. Others claim it was first said by William Hesketh Lever, a British industrialist who was the first to commercially turn vegetable oil into soap, the basis for the success of the Lever Brothers company, now Unilever, a $115 billion multinational.
