Answering The Call: Creating A Cultural Marketing Audio Experience

The What: Business + Marketing + Growth, Simplified! {Where Blackish Meets Marketing Business Podcasts}

The Problem: The majority of marketing and business podcasts are overly complicated, often disconnected from the realities faced by marginalized communities, and lack representation of diverse voices, particularly Black voices. This gap leaves many BIPOC creators, entrepreneurs, and businesses feeling alienated and underserved in a space that should be inclusive and empowering.

The Solution: Enter iDigress, a culturally rich and diverse podcast that redefines the marketing and business podcast landscape. Led by a Black voice, iDigress breaks down complex marketing and business principles into relatable, digestible content. It speaks directly to BIPOC communities in a way that resonates with their experiences, offering a safe, familiar space where listeners can learn, grow, and feel represented. iDigress stays true to its cultural roots, maintaining its tone and swagger while educating and motivating its audience to achieve sustainable and scalable success.

The Impact: iDigress has filled a crucial gap in the market not only helping business leaders but also empowering BIPOC and other underrepresented creators, entrepreneurs, and businesses worldwide. Listeners are not only grasping marketing principles better, but they are also inspired and excited by a podcast that honors their culture, speaks their language, and champions their success. By staying authentic and true to its mission, iDigress has become a beacon of growth, education, and empowerment for a diverse and thriving community.
