Marketing is an evolving challenge for businesses across the B2B space, and artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting it in many new ways.
AI is reshaping industries at a speed few anticipated – from automating services to generating content – and it shows no sign of slowing down.
These new tools are redefining how businesses operate across almost every industry.
For many B2B companies, this shift raises a pressing concern as they look to somehow maintain brand awareness and industry authority in a world where AI can replicate so much.
At LRB, a Bristol-based B2B podcasting company, we believe the answer lies in doubling down on authenticity and building relationships – and podcasting is one of the most powerful ways to achieve this.
AI can’t replace your real voice
AI excels at scale, speed, and data analysis, but it struggles with nuance, lived experience, and genuine personality – things that come across on film.
Emotion and being ‘real’ are more meaningful than almost anything as a marketing tool.
Your audience doesn’t just want information – they want perspective, stories, and insights shaped by real people within your industry.
Podcasting amplifies that human story – something that all podcasts are looking to achieve.
Unlike generic AI marketing content, a podcast episode captures meaningful conversations, and reminds your clients that there are real people – not just algorithms and technology – behind your brand.
Building authority
Thought leadership has long been a cornerstone of B2B marketing – but the way that is being portrayed in the media has changed.
In an era where AI can churn out thousands of pieces of content in seconds, the best way to separate yourself from the competition is to highlight true experts, and why the audience should listen to them.
This is something an automated voice cannot do.
Conversations are important when conveying a message – whether than is personal or for businesses.
This build authority on a subject.
When you host a podcast, you create space for dialogue with peers, customers, prospective clients, and innovators within the B2B space.
These discussions showcase your active role in the industry ecosystem – and why the audience should care what you have to say.
A well-crafted B2B podcast demonstrates that you’re not passively commenting on trends but actively shaping them for the future of everyone that is listening.
That is something that AI cannot recreate.
Scaling your message
One of podcasting’s biggest strengths is intimacy despite it being a digital product.
When someone listens to your podcast, they’re usually doing so through headphones or on the move.
That creates a direct, one-to-one connection with the audience.
In a business landscape increasingly dominated by impersonal AI tools, that sense of connection matters. It builds loyalty, fosters trust, and strengthens relationships.
Future proofing your business
The question for B2B leaders isn’t just whether AI will change their industry beyond recognition, but also how their business will successfully adapt to the changes.
Podcasting isn’t just a marketing channel, but a strategic investment in your voice, your authority, and your relationships.
Your new content will establish you on search engines and podcast hosting sites – for thousands of people to enjoy.
They will remain on there and can be shared over and over again – as well as being repurposed for other content within your marketing strategy – improving your return on investment.
At LRB, we help businesses futureproof by ensuring that, no matter how advanced AI becomes, your audience will always hear from the people who matter most – that being you, your team, and your message.
