? Volunteer Opportunity: Podcast Marketing & PR Lead, Media Tech Talk

Are you passionate about media, technology, podcasts and building audiences?

Media Tech Talk is a video podcast that decodes the media industry across commercial, publishing and marketing technology. Hosted by Daevid Richards, who brings more than 40 years of media and technology experience, the show explores the tools, strategies and innovations shaping how media is built, distributed and monetised.

Through candid conversations with media-tech leaders, the show examines artificial intelligence, automation, advertising technology, streaming, data and emerging innovation, bringing global topics into sharper focus through a local lens.

We’re looking for a motivated Podcast Marketing & PR Lead to help grow the show’s reach, influence and future commercial potential.

What you’ll do

- Develop and execute marketing and public relations plans for episodes and series
- Build audience reach across LinkedIn, YouTube, newsletters and other relevant channels
- Create and coordinate promotional content, including posts, clips, guest assets and campaign copy
- Research target audiences, communities, media outlets and positioning opportunities
- Build relationships with guests, partners, media contacts and relevant industry communities
- Pitch stories, interviews and show highlights to appropriate media and industry outlets
- Support audience engagement and help monitor listener and channel performance
- Maintain consistent branding, messaging and promotion across the show’s channels
- Identify potential partnership, sponsorship and commercialisation opportunities

Who this could suit

- A media enthusiast who wants practical experience in podcast marketing and public relations
- A university student seeking a meaningful project alongside studies in marketing, communications, media or a related field
- An emerging marketer,



communications professional or content strategist building a portfolio
- Someone with experience in social media, email marketing, content marketing or audience development
- A confident communicator who can write engaging promotional copy, media pitches and press releases
- A highly organised person who can manage campaigns, deadlines and relationships
- Someone comfortable using basic marketing metrics and podcast or social analytics
- A proactive, curious person who is excited by media technology and new ideas

Relevant experience in public relations, media, entertainment, podcast promotion or partnership development would be valuable, but demonstrated interest and initiative are equally significant.

What you’ll gain You’ll work directly with the show’s founder and host, contribute to the growth strategy and take meaningful ownership of the marketing and public relations function. You’ll build practical experience, create a body of work, develop industry relationships and help shape a growing media brand.

Media Tech Talk is intended to evolve into a larger, commercially sustainable show based on reach, relevance and audience growth. The company behind the podcast is also developing additional podcast concepts, which may create future opportunities for the right person to produce or present on new shows.

This is currently an unpaid volunteer role. The commitment can be shaped around the successful candidate’s availability, studies and project scope. Future paid or commercial opportunities may become available as the shows grow, but cannot be guaranteed.

If you’re curious, proactive and excited by the future of media, technology and storytelling, please send me a message with a little about yourself, your interests and why this opportunity appeals to you.

Please share this post with someone who might be a great fit.
