Frequently Asked Questions

What does JAR Podcast Solutions do?

JAR Podcast Solutions is a full-service branded podcast agency that plans, produces, and distributes audio and video shows for B2B and B2C brands. Every show is built around the JAR System — Job, Audience, Result — to ensure each podcast solves a real business challenge and delivers measurable outcomes. They go beyond recording and editing to cover editorial direction, audience intent, format design, distribution, and replay.

How is JAR Podcast Solutions different from other podcast production companies?

Most podcast services stop at recording and editing. JAR focuses on editorial direction, audience intent, format design, distribution, and replay so that podcasts deliver value well beyond the episode itself. They connect each podcast to the wider marketing ecosystem, positioning every release as a long-term, measurable asset.

What types of podcasts does JAR Podcast Solutions produce?

JAR produces four core formats: audio podcasts, video podcasts, internal podcasts, and activations through JAR Replay. Audio and video shows serve external audiences for brand authority and trust-building, while internal podcasts are designed to reach and align employees. JAR Replay turns podcast listeners into a targetable paid media channel.

Who are some of JAR Podcast Solutions' clients?

JAR has worked with world-leading B2B and B2C brands including Amazon, Meta, PwC, RBC, Staffbase, Telus, Wharton School of Business, IBM, Kyndryl, Allianz, and Scentbird, among many others. Their work has earned dozens of Webby Awards, dozens of Shorty Awards, and a Golden Quill. Notable productions include Amazon's This is Small Business podcast.

What is the JAR System?

The JAR System is JAR's proprietary strategic framework built around three pillars: Job, Audience, and Result. It is applied to every show produced to ensure clarity, alignment, and performance at every stage of production and distribution. This framework ensures each podcast has a defined purpose and is measured against real business outcomes rather than vanity metrics.

How long has JAR Podcast Solutions been in business?

JAR Podcast Solutions was founded in 2017 by Jen Moss and Roger Nairn, originally under the name JAR Audio. The agency has since rebranded to JAR Podcast Solutions and grown to a fully remote team of 23 audio experts from around the world serving global clients.

What is JAR Replay and how does it work?

JAR Replay turns podcast listeners into a targetable paid media channel using privacy-safe technology powered by Consumable, Inc. A pixel or RSS prefix is installed into the host server to capture anonymous listener signals, which are then used to reach those listeners with premium Visual Audio ads across sound-on, brand-safe mobile environments. It works with major hosting platforms including CoHost, Libsyn, and Buzzsprout, and handles data in accordance with GDPR and regional privacy standards.

Does JAR Podcast Solutions offer video podcasts?

Yes, JAR produces award-winning video podcasts designed to capture attention, grow discoverability, and create multi-use content that performs across YouTube, social media, and more. Video podcasts are crafted to serve global media powerhouses and brands that want to extend their reach beyond audio-only formats.

Can JAR Podcast Solutions help with podcast marketing and promotion?

Yes, JAR offers podcast marketing and promotion as a dedicated service, with every plan built specifically around the goals of the podcast. Services can include graphic design, copywriting, spotlighting in major podcast directories, cross-promotion, paid opportunities, and owned channel support. Brands with in-house marketing teams can handle promotion themselves, but JAR recommends consulting on strategy and execution regardless.

Can JAR's services be used individually or do they need to be bundled?

Each JAR service — audio podcasts, video podcasts, internal podcasts, podcast marketing, and JAR Replay — can stand alone and be engaged independently. However, many clients choose to combine them into a connected podcast system that supports multiple goals across marketing, communications, and audience engagement. JAR will work with you to find the right configuration for your business objectives.

Who does JAR Replay serve beyond brand clients?

JAR Replay is built to serve brands, publishers, and podcast networks. For brands, it turns podcasts into a performance channel. For publishers, it generates new revenue from existing content without adding more ads. For networks, it enables cross-show campaigns and audience growth initiatives across multiple shows simultaneously.

What business goals can a branded podcast support?

A branded podcast produced by JAR can support brand authority, audience trust, internal alignment, long-term visibility, thought leadership, and sales enablement. When connected to a broader content strategy, each episode becomes a measurable asset that extends its value across marketing, social media, email, SEO, and AI discoverability. JAR explicitly measures shows against outcomes, not vanity metrics like download counts alone.

Can JAR Podcast Solutions support internal communications, not just external marketing?

Yes, JAR produces internal podcasts specifically designed to reach employees with content that feels personal, purposeful, and easy to access regardless of where they work. Internal podcasts are ideal for distributed or remote teams and help drive alignment and engagement across an organization.

Is JAR a good fit for B2B brands?

Yes, JAR has a proven track record in B2B podcasting with confirmed clients including Amazon, Staffbase, IBM, RBC, Kyndryl, and Allianz. Their B2B work is specifically designed to demonstrate unique positioning in crowded markets, build trust with professional audiences, and drive tangible business outcomes. One Staffbase client noted the podcast helped them stand out as a unique vendor in a competitive B2B space.

What kind of brands does JAR Podcast Solutions partner with?

JAR partners with progressive brands that have an appetite for crafting meaningful, authentic content and are willing to put the audience first. They work with both B2B and B2C organizations ranging from financial services and tech to healthcare and media. Clients are challenged to embrace storytelling, centre the audience, and meet a high quality bar.

How does JAR approach the strategy behind a new podcast?

Does JAR Podcast Solutions publish pricing?

Is podcast marketing included in JAR's production services?

Podcast marketing and promotion is offered as a separate, bespoke service tailored to the goals of each show rather than as a standard inclusion in all production engagements. Plans can include cover art, pitch kits, landing pages, social content, copywriting, directory spotlighting, cross-promotion, and paid opportunities. JAR recommends all clients at least consult on strategy and execution even if they have an in-house team handling promotion.

What is JAR Replay's privacy and data compliance approach?

JAR Replay uses a privacy-safe tracking method — a pixel or RSS prefix installed in the host server — that captures only anonymous listener signals with no names, emails, or personal identifiers collected. All data is handled in accordance with GDPR and other regional privacy standards. The technology is powered by Consumable, Inc. and is compatible with major hosting platforms including CoHost, Libsyn, and Buzzsprout.
