Leveraging Podcasting to Reflect Your Company Culture
Listen to our feature on the Interview Connections Podcast.
Overview
In over 13 years of podcast experience, Jessica has never seen a marketing agency do what Deanna and Ashley are doing with their podcast. Ducks Unplugged isn’t just a show about marketing; it’s a living, breathing reflection of who Blue Duck Agency is and what it feels like to work with them.
What we cover
Why Deanna and Ashley launched a podcast to differentiate in an industry where agencies all sell the same things
The insight that changed how Jess sees their show: it’s not that the podcast shaped their culture, it’s that it mirrors it
How their low-prep, bullet-point-only approach produces more authentic (and more entertaining) episodes than scripted content ever could
The basement studio story and why a corner of Ashley’s son’s toy room beats a professional studio
Their production process: batching four episodes per shoot, a dedicated producer named Cindy, and a director who has mastered the angles
Why their ideal clients watch the podcast before ever getting on a call and what that means for their sales cycle
The dream client Deanna is absolutely going after (hint: it involves online dating)
