Step 1: Brand Analysis
Begin by analyzing your podcast's themes, target audience, and unique selling points. Understand the message you want to convey and how you wish to be perceived.
Step 2: Competitor Research
Research other podcasts in your niche to see how they present themselves. Note elements that work well and brainstorm how you can differentiate your brand.

Step 7: Brand Guide
Compile a brand guide documenting your logo usage, color palette, typography, and any other branding elements. This will ensure consistency in your brand's presentation across all mediums.
