Sydney-based duo, who hail from Saatchi & Saatchi, Brittany Benitez (creator/host) and Joe Giuffrida (co-creator/engineer) have launched a new podcast – ‘Beyond the Title’.
This podcast is geared towards advertising professionals current and emerging.
Brittany Benitez and Joe Giuffrida
‘Beyond the Title’ involves one-on-one conversations between Brittany and guests who are involved in the industry. These conversations aim to place a spotlight on the people behind the job titles by focusing on their interests and personalities, and to break from the barrier that those individuals face in being regarded for their titles alone. New episodes are released fortnightly on Wednesdays.
The first guest episode features designer and visual artist, Justin Sayarath, discussing his upbringing by his seamstress mother who migrated to Australia in refuge. Also discussing the inspiration behind his first solo exhibition, and advice he wished he received when he was younger.
Future episodes will span from front of house staff to creative directors and CEOs of several different Australian agencies. New episodes are released fortnightly on Wednesdays.
Benitez said of the series’ launch: “With so many egos in the ad industry, we’re quick to lose our identities amongst the campaigns we work on and the cliques that are driven by our job titles. The aim of this podcast is to redefine ourselves by what we should all be known by – our interests, our hobbies and our personalities – it’s an industry wide challenge that we all need to get behind.”
Listeners can contact the team via email [email protected] or Instagram @beyondthetitlepodcast to provide feedback and ideas for the podcast, or to become a guest on the show.
‘Beyond the Title’ is available for download through Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts. For more information, visit www.linktr.ee/beyondthetitlepodcast.
