Hi Wondercrafters,
A key to successful digital advertising is the ability to optimize through A/B testing. Until now, this was tough with audio ads due to the challenges of producing even a single spot. But that’s no longer the case. We should be seeing a rise in A/B testing for audio ads moving forward.
You probably heard about Paul Graham’s latest essay, Founder Mode. If not, it’s inspired by a talk from Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, where he explains how managing like a founder worked better than the typical manager approach. If reading’s not your thing, you can check out the podcast version on Spotify or Apple.
No more waitlists, no more restrictions. The Audio Studio is officially open to all, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it! We received amazing feedback from our early users, and now it’s your turn to enjoy it. Dive in!
You don’t reach nine-figure user numbers without an exponential growth channel—and product alone won’t do it. Notion took Community to a whole new level, with hundreds (if not thousands) of people around the world passionately evangelizing it. But this wasn’t by chance—it was all part of a carefully crafted plan.
In the past few years, there have been at least six $100M podcast deals. Joe Rogan, Alex Cooper, Conan O’Brien, the Smartless crew, the Armchair Experts, and the Kelce brothers have all cashed in on their podcast success, partnering with companies like Spotify, Wondery, and Sirius.
Dana Ware, Chief Creative Officer at ARound, shares her journey from The Void to AR innovation in the latest episode of Makes You Wonder. She discusses the importance of user safety in virtual and augmented world and the ethical considerations of designing for immersive technologies. Check out the episode here!
7. Closing with a Wonderful quote
