Nothing beats a…hot podcasting campaign 🔥✈️ We partnered Help I Sexted My Boss with Jet2.com and Jet2holidays to show off just how good a Jet2 holiday to Malta can be.

Back in the UK, William and producer Ben Cartwright shared every detail on the podcast, making Jordan — and listeners — a bit jealous.

Acast Studios London has become the true hub for creators and creative inspiration we had hoped 😎 Yesterday, it saw two examples of real storytellers in action. First up, John Harris hosted the brilliantly entertaining Gyles Brandreth and Harriet Jaine of the podcast Rosebud, discussing how podcasting invigorated Gyles's craft and helped him build a passionate community. 🌱 Next, the Acast Culture Club launched its first Lunch and Learn: "Record-Breaking Resilience" with Guinness World Record holder, adventurer Louis Alexander, hosted by Lucy Ballance. It was an inspiring session on purpose, perseverance, and teamwork and a good reminder to always make sure you know who your support crew is. 🧗 Connecting creators, audiences, and advertisers through powerful stories is what we do best, and that extends to inspiring our team.
