Hi there.

0:02

I'm Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of

0:04

iHeartMedia. I'm excited to announce

0:07

a new season of my podcast Math

0:09

and Magic, Stories from the Frontiers and

0:11

Marketing, coming February twenty ninth.

0:14

As we enter twenty twenty four, we

0:16

find ourselves in an uncharted era

0:18

of technological advances, and we're

0:20

going to have to work harder than ever to embrace the

0:22

changes without hesitation. Our guest

0:25

this season ground us in actionable

0:27

advice to navigate through these unprecedented

0:30

times. Like

0:33

Andrew Dureki, Award winning filmmaker

0:35

and creator of moviefone.

0:37

The studios didn't really control the theaters.

0:40

The theaters didn't control the studios, and

0:42

I thought, well, there's a window in here where

0:44

I could make things easier for the consumer

0:47

and also make something that

0:49

would be very useful for the industry.

0:51

Kellen Kenny, chief Marketing and

0:54

Growth Officer at AT and T, who

0:56

installed fibering customers' houses

0:58

rather than leading from afar.

1:00

It is so crucial that you spend

1:02

time with the customers, that

1:04

you spend time with frontline employees.

1:07

That is the best lesson.

1:09

Bob Riley, Global Chief Creative

1:11

officer of WPP, who encourages

1:14

his team to write down every idea

1:16

they have, especially the wildest ones.

1:18

I try to create environments where anybody

1:21

can say anything without any judgment.

1:23

As always on the show, we're here to mine our guest

1:26

exceptional real world experiences

1:28

for pearls of wisdom. We're looking

1:30

for that special and rare combination

1:32

of the math, the strategy and analytics,

1:35

and the magic, that elusive and

1:37

creative spart that together can

1:40

pull any idea campaign

1:42

or business venture into reality. Listen

1:45

to a brand new season of Math and Magic starting

1:47

February twenty ninth on our very

1:50

own iHeartRadio, app, Apple

1:52

podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.
