Case Study #2
The Mission
The Economist knew that their target audience already loved shows that married big ideas to practical wisdom. How to tap into that?

Devise a series that could sit in the same bracket as NPR’s Planet Money, or Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History.
The product
Gamechangers: a crafted audio journey, in which the Economist’s Deputy Editor meets the people behind game-changing ideas and technology, exploring ‘the gap between invention and innovation’.
The moment
The lightbulb flash of insight skillfully interweaving with audio and graphics.
Case Study #3
The Mission
Globally-renowned designer Thomas Heatherwick wanted to publicise his new book, Humanise.
The insight
Create a public conversation about ‘boring buildings’ — and push it beyond the design world bubble.
The product
A three part documentary series on BBC Radio 4, in which Heatherwick sets out his manifesto for a more beautiful tomorrow.
The moment
A shareable snapshot that captures the beauty of Heatherwick’s celebrated work.
Case Study #4
The Mission
Rob Manuel had a million followers on his ‘Fesshole’ social media feed of readers’ true life confessions. How could he take his brand to audio without puncturing the magic?
The insight
Create a commentary show, in the vein of My Dad Wrote A Porno, keeping the core product – listener confessions – but expanding the frame to a conversation show.
The product
The Fesshole Podcast: Rob and special guests read out listeners’ confessions, and speculate wildly.
The moment
Laugh out loud visualised stories that set the Fesshole socials on fire.
