Chart-topping stories with global reach

The show is not your typical business podcast. It aims to trace the origin stories of winning brands and develop game plans for future victories. This podcast is a great resource for individuals looking to learn more about successful brands.

With significant growth in just five months, Brand Slam continues to attract premium guests and build momentum. The podcast has already achieved a tremendous amount of success, cracking the top five percent of all podcasts according to Listen Notes and charting on Apple Podcasts four times, including peaking on the US Marketing podcast at #88. It has even reached the Top 30 in Saudi Arabia and Top 10 in Argentina for Marketing, confirming its global appeal.

The reason for this success? Our guests. We’ve been fortunate to host some of the most brilliant and magnetic personalities who have cracked the code on building a powerful brand. From CEOs and marketing mavens like former President of CVS Pharmacy, Helena Foulkes, to former President of Branded Entertainment of Hasbro, Samantha Lomow, to professional athletes like former Patriots Devin McCourty and James White and Hollywood celebrities like Kali Reis of True Detective fame. Every episode delivers tactical insights and motivational stories from those who uncovered their winning formula.

One of the key aspects of Brand Slam is its commitment to diversity and inclusivity. By featuring multidisciplinary, multicultural, multigenerational and multinational guests, the podcast showcases a wide range of perspectives and experiences. This not only enriches the content of the show but also helps to establish credibility and build connections with a diverse audience.

Podcast Statistics: #88 on Apple podcast US Marketing; Top 5% ranked among all podcast per ListenNotes; 4 Times in the top 100 chart on Apple Podcast
