Vox Media Partners with The Wisdomous Company for Innovative Podcast Launch
Vox Media has recently entered into a strategic alliance with The Wisdomous Company, embarking on a venture to create a groundbreaking weekly business podcast.
This partnership not only focuses on auditory content but also emphasises engagement through a global event series, aiming to disseminate core concepts from the podcast to a diverse audience, ranging from high-level executives to budding marketers and entrepreneurial leaders.
At the centre of this collaboration lies the newly launched podcast, “Create or Destroy: Reimagining Marketing,” hosted by Seth Matlins.
Debuting today, May 12, the podcast will showcase an array of influential figures, including Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs), Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), founders, and thought leaders — individuals Vox identifies as pivotal in shaping business trajectories, fostering growth, and navigating the delicate balance of value creation and destruction.
Central to the show’s narrative is the notion that each corporate decision, not exclusively those related to marketing, can either generate value or obliterate it. Thus, marketing is reconceptualised as an organisational ethos rather than merely a functional area.
“Create or Destroy” is not confined to the realm of marketing, Matlins asserts. “Rather, it is a business-centric platform designed for CEOs, CFOs, Boards, and CMOs who recognise that marketing and growth are intertwined discussions.
Here, marketing transcends a mere function; it becomes a catalyst for exponential growth, highlighting the critical divide between entities that cultivate enduring value and those that silently erode it — fundamentally a marketing disparity,” he elucidates.
Anticipated guests slated for upcoming episodes include notable entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk; Mathilde Delhoume, Brand Equity Advisor for LVMH General Management and former Global Brand Officer at LVMH; political consultant David Axelrod; Jim Mollica, President of the Luxury Division and Chief Marketing Officer at Bose; Adobe’s Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President of Global Marketing, Lara Balazs; Eos President Soyoung Kang; and JPMorgan Chase Chief Marketing Officer Carla Hassan, among others.
Incorporating live events is a pivotal aspect of the podcast’s holistic approach, featuring multi-day CMO summits, strategic workshops, and intimate dialogue sessions.
The inaugural CMO gathering is scheduled to take place this September in London, followed by a retreat for CMOs and business leaders in Napa, California, in October.
Vox Media contends that these events extend the podcast’s foundational thesis, asserting that perceiving marketing as a strategic capability is not merely advantageous; it has become essential for maintaining a competitive edge.
Ray Chao, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Podcasts at Vox Media, remarked, Seth possesses an extraordinary talent for uniting business executives and distilling invaluable insights regarding growth.
We are thrilled to collaborate with him to develop ‘Create or Destroy’ alongside an expansive portfolio of global live events.
Matlins brings an extensive 30-year background in brand and business development across various sectors globally.
Prior to establishing The Wisdomous Company, he served as Managing Director for the Forbes CMO Network, initiated the marketing division at Creative Artists Agency, held the title of the first Global CMO at Live Nation, spearheaded Cultural Strategy and Insights at Endeavour’s cultural marketing agency, and presided as President of Rock the Vote.
