CASE STUDY_ Dr. Toby Campbell

THE STORY
We collaborated with Dr. Campbell and his team, to develop and produce Palliatively Speaking — a podcast featuring extraordinary conversations with patients, caregivers, and clinicians and the people impacted by their great work. SPEAK shipped microphones, records in-studio and remotely and more.
Distributed across major platforms, each episode was crafted to be emotionally resonant and widely accessible.

CASE STUDY_ UCLA

THE STORY
SPEAK leveraged thought leaders, such as Nobel laureate Andrea Ghez, Fields Medal-winner Terence Tao, and Erik Hoek to amplify their work and elevate their individual brands. Our leadership helped conceive, execute and distribute innovative video podcasts, splashy Out of Home content, thrilling broadcast commercials, innovative earned media, capital campaign-specific print, digital, experiential projections, film and more.
