Meghan Markle tipped to do Call Her Daddy podcast
This appearance comes after Meghan Markle has been tipped to step into a new era of her career.
Reportedly, the Duchess of Sussex is likely to appear on one of the biggest podcasts in the world.
PR pro Kayley Cornelius believes Meghan is looking for a “much bigger opportunity” and could be stepping into a new phase of her career.
Starring on Call Her Daddy, Cornelius believes, would help Meghan “engage with people not already following her work”.
Speaking exclusively to Action Network, Celebrity PR Specialist Kayley Cornelius said: “Meghan Markle appears to be entering a new era where she is actively trying to shape a brand that exists independently from her royal background. Over the past few years we have seen her gradually move further into the lifestyle and media space. And podcasting feels like a natural extension of that strategy because it allows her to speak directly to audiences and control the narrative around her work.
“With reports that she will be making appearances internationally, including a live podcast appearance in Australia soon, it shows she is clearly looking to expand her presence beyond the States. But back home in the US, I believe she will likely have her eyes on a much bigger opportunity. And one of the most obvious platforms would be Call Her Daddy. The podcast has become one of the most influential interview platforms in recent years and has already hosted major global figures including Victoria Beckham and Kamala Harris, and that is the calibre of company Meghan will likely want to be associated with.
The Duchess of Sussex could make hug ‘strategic move’
“From a PR perspective, appearing on an established podcast like Call Her Daddy would also be a particularly strategic move. The show already commands a huge international audience, and importantly the demographics of its listeners are not too dissimilar from the audiences that already follow Meghan. That overlap means the conversation would likely resonate well with listeners while also introducing her to a wider group who may not have previously engaged with her work.
“Call Her Daddy has built a reputation for hosting high profile guests and creating viral moments. So an interview with Meghan would naturally attract global attention and headlines, so in that sense, it would be a strong fit for both sides. For the podcast, it secures one of the most talked about public figures in the world. While Meghan benefits from the reach and cultural relevance of a platform that already commands a loyal and highly engaged audience.
Meghan is stepping into a ‘new era’
“Strategically, appearances like this can also help build momentum if she does decide to relaunch her own podcast in the future. By stepping into established platforms and piggybacking off the pre-built fanbases these podcasts have, she is gradually reintroducing herself to her audience and target demographic. That kind of visibility can make a significant difference when launching a new project, as audiences are far more likely to tune in if they have already seen her participating within the wider podcast space. And over time, that approach could help her build a stronger and more loyal listener base the third time around.”
Other major players in the public eye have also used Call Her Daddy to share their stories. Including Kim Kardashian, Kamala Harris, Gwyneth Paltrow and Victoria Beckham.
Maybe Meghan Markle could be the next celebrity to make an appearance on the hugely popular podcast. We’ll be staying tuned in to find out…
