垂直类播客平台的媒介管理与网络营销策略研究——以“小宇宙”APP为例

Research on Media Management and Online Marketing Strategies of Vertical Podcast Platforms—Taking “Xiaoyuzhou FM” APP as an Example

摘要: 在音频内容消费日益垂直化的媒介生态中，播客平台正在探索差异化的媒介管理与网络营销路径。本文以“小宇宙”APP为研究对象，采用案例研究等方法，重点考察其媒介管理与网络营销策略的耦合。研究发现，该平台通过数据驱动与人工编辑的协同，构建了内容与用户的智能匹配机制，借助社群化运营实现用户从内容消费到身份认同的转化，依靠全媒体矩阵、头部主播资源整合以及与品牌深度合作，构建从流量获取到价值沉淀的完整营销闭环。本研究进一步指出，垂直类播客平台需在内容调性坚守与商业变现之间寻求平衡，实现可持续发展；需通过传播生态的整体重塑实现营销策略的创新。“小宇宙”的案例为理解数字音频平台的媒介生态建构提供了研究维度，也为同类垂直平台的运营实践提供了策略启示。

Abstract: In a media ecology where audio content consumption is increasingly verticalized, podcast platforms are exploring differentiated media management and online marketing paths. This paper takes “Xiaoyuzhou FM” APP as the research object and uses case study and other methods to focus on the coupling of its media management and online marketing strategies. It is found that the platform builds an intelligent matching mechanism between content and users through the synergy of data-driven and artificial editing, realizes the transformation of users from content consumption to identity with the help of community-based operation, and builds a complete marketing closed loop from traffic acquisition to value precipitation by relying on the all-media matrix, the integration of head anchor resources, and the in-depth cooperation with brands. This study further points out that vertical podcast platforms need to seek a balance between content tone adherence and commercial realization to achieve sustainable development and to realize the innovation of marketing strategy through the overall reshaping of communication ecology. The case of “Xiaoyuzhou FM” provides a research dimension for understanding the media ecology construction of digital audio platforms, as well as strategic insights for the operation practice of similar vertical platforms.
