Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sound Worth Paying Attention To
Q: How do you physically get this program into detention centers, and how do you make young detainees give a damn about it and want to tune into it?
Jon Austin says Futures uses an unused audio channel available throughout detention facilities and presents embedded therapeutic messages through a 24-hour hip-hop-style radio station that reflects young detainees' interests.
Sound Worth Paying Attention To
Q: Do we spend enough time thinking about how brands sound?
Dom Hickey says brands generally give sound too little attention and budget, often treating it as an afterthought despite its role in tying together channels and building distinctive identity.
Making Waves: The Sonic Strategy Behind Carnival’s ‘Play Away’
Q: How did you land creatively and why did you decide to focus on one experience per TVC?
The team chose to center the creative on a single, vivid moment per TVC to deepen emotional connection and ensure audiences remember a specific, shareable experience; this approach also supports memory structures and reduces clutter in the media mix.
Making Waves: The Sonic Strategy Behind Carnival’s ‘Play Away’
Q: What business challenge were you facing when you briefed in what became Play Away?
The brand had just acquired P&O and Carnival's fleet in Australia expanded, so the objective was to establish Carnival as the clear cruising brand in a crowded market, while also building enduring salience that could last decades.
The sound of growth and why playing it safe gets you nowhere
Q: I'm going to start with you, Emily. Carma is a challenger brand in a really competitive category. What are your priorities at the moment and how does audio factor in?
Emily discusses building fame, trust, and scale through a mix of audio, PR, and partnerships, with radio as a fast, cost-effective way to explain a complex model and drive end-to-end online transactions. She emphasizes measuring broader brand impact while enabling sales conversations triggered by radio.
