The 2024 U.S. presidential election vividly illustrated a significant shift in media consumption and, more specifically, who people trust for information and news. For the first time in American history, presidential nominees and their running mates leveraged podcasts more than mainstream media to reach voters, reflecting broader changes in how younger generations access and engage with information.

This transformation is not limited to politics. It’s reshaping the B2B landscape as well. B2B marketers who want to remain a trusted source for their audience need to pay attention to the media landscape shift and adapt their marketing and PR practices to become an industry “influencer” to reach their ideal clients.
