The Greatest Minds Team Up with the Greatest Storyteller

THE ASK

In 2020, iHeart teamed up with a leading technology company to create a new sponsored audio series, Smart Talks, which consisted of several themed episodes within hit iHeart podcasts, including Brain Stuff and Stuff to Blow Your Mind. Given our standing partnership, our client sought to elevate the platform of Smart Talks and continue to spotlight how their incredible innovations are solving complex problems facing the world of tech and beyond –– from AI to Quantum computing.

THE IDEA

In 2021, we set out to grow the Smart Talks audience and brand by highlighting new ways they and their clients collaborate within its own dedicated podcast feed. We launched the official Smart Talks podcast with one of the greatest minds we know –– acclaimed critical thinker, author, and Pushkin Industries founder, Malcolm Gladwell.
