Listen To Episode One

NEW YORK – June 29, 2023 – iHeartPodcasts announced today the launch of a new bi-weekly, 10-episode series ",” co-produced by ���߲ݴ�ý and Brand New Labs. Launching today on ���߲ݴ�ý's B2B Podcast Network, “Brand New” shifts from the interview format of most business, marketing and media podcasts and instead invites listeners in on a lively conversation between two of the marketing industry’s most dynamic and well-connected leaders: Marisa Thalberg and Steven Wolfe Pereira. The c-suite co-hosts, who are also close friends, will tackle trending topics in the world of technology, entertainment, advertising, media and marketing, particularly through the lens of brands and the people powering them.

Geared for industry insiders – from senior executives to those first working their way up the ladder – Thalberg and Wolfe Pereira’s professional and personal relationship, along with their unique insights and camaraderie, will distinguish “Brand New” as an industry must-listen series. Each week, they will be talk about a combination of “ripped from the headlines” issues combined with topics of ongoing interest from why “brand” shouldn’t be a dirty word to what the c-suite doesn’t understand about marketers to what it takes just to be a good leader today. Season one of “Brand New” will debut its first episode today featuring real marketers’ take on Cannes – what it was about, what it should be about and more.

“Steven and I have had such varied experiences spanning start-ups to Fortune 50 companies and what we both share is a passion and love for this industry,” said Thalberg.

Steven Wolfe Pereira added, “We are not doing this to promote an agency or sell a product. Rather, we are driven to decode what’s happening in the world of brands, debunk some of the biggest misunderstandings about this industry, and hopefully inspire a next generation of marketers in this ever-changing world.”

“Podcasts are becoming the go to platform for marketers who want to stay current,” said Gayle Troberman, Chief Marketing Officer for ���߲ݴ�ý. “As the No. 1 podcast network, iHeart is excited to have Marisa and Steven join our growing suite of must-listen business podcasts.”

Marisa Thalberg and Steven Wolfe Pereira will serve as creators and executive producers for the podcast. David Thalberg, Nuria Santamaria Wolfe and Joseph Salvia will also serve as executive producers for Brand New Labs.
