Audio consumption in the US has increased significantly over the last decade. A recent survey reveals that 41 percent of U.S. adults have listened to a podcast within the last month, a figure which has more than tripled in the last 10 years. According to “The Infinite Dial” report, weekly podcast consumption has also increased dramatically, with many leading podcast publishers regularly achieving millions of unique streams and downloads. This tremendous growth, coupled with intangible qualities unique to the medium, has pushed brands to consider audio absolutely essential to their media mix. It's become the most powerful way to engage and reach customers and done successfully, can increase a connection with your consumers while creating a rich experience unparalleled in media. Audio grabs consumers and adds a layer of emotion to engage audiences in deeper and more meaningful ways. So how can audio content work as an integral part of your content marketing strategy? 

Our panel of content marketing experts will delve into various questions around the enduring power of audio and the significant role it takes in shaping brand journalism. Speakers will help lead a lively conversation on the following topics:

• Why audio is such a powerful platform for the financial services community

• How audio should fit into content marketing strategies

• The uniqueness of audio as a platform

• What great audio storytelling sounds like

• Advice for financial services brands that are thinking about their audio strategy

The FCS Diversity & Inclusion Forum speaker series continues with a panel discussion on "The New Office Culture." Join us online for this virtual event on Tuesday, September 21 at 4:00pm ET.

With businesses ramping up the scheduled return of employees to their offices, we are faced with new questions and challenges about how the past 18 months have impacted corporate culture. During our time working remotely and logging in from home offices, our relationships with colleagues, management and clients have changed. Sometimes slightly, sometimes dramatically. Commuting and sharing office space again brings with it a full emotional range -- from trepidation and fear to relief and excitement. How do employees balance their concerns and their ambitions? How do managers meet employee expectations?

Layered atop these personal feelings is the greater awareness and acceptance of diversity and inclusion that has been driven by the racial inequality and civic unrest that created searing headlines and lasting memories during the pandemic. How will these topics influence the culture of the largest and smallest firms in the financial services ecosystem?

Our panel will delve into these sensitive topics and share their thoughts on how we can all work together to foster the right culture for our team, our office, and our company.

DeLonzo Rhodes, Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Dotdash, will moderate our panel, which will include:

• Marleta Ross, Managing Director and General Manager of the Chase Sapphire Credit Card portfolio for J.P. Morgan
• Angela Bostick, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer for The Wharton School at The University of Pennsylvania

You're welcome to submit questions for our panel ahead of the event by email to [email protected].
