California innovation tour

THE BRIEF

Seeing the rise in popularity of podcasts, we wanted to incorporate podcasts as part of our media strategy and showcase California through the eyes and words of a trusted advocate. 

Black Diamond launched a six-episode branded mini-series with award-winning author Emma Gannon, creating the ‘California Innovation Tour’ within her popular Ctrl Alt Delete podcast. Having previously worked with Emma on a social campaign for Visit California, we knew she would be able to speak about California culture with authenticity and true passion. Our mini-series explored female pioneers across tech, wellness and culture, and was supported with a social campaign across Emma’s and Visit California’s channels.
