In the digital communication landscape, podcasts are carving out an increasingly strategic space. It is no longer an "emerging" format, but a true lever of branding, marketing, and positioning.
 

The confirmation comes from news that made waves in the media sector: the German television group ProSiebenSat.1 has acquired the majority stake in Studio Bummens, one of the leading producers of German-language podcasts.
