Peeling Back the Curtain of Character Count with Joe Wadlington

In the Season 2 premiere of The Casted Podcast, we had the pleasure of talking with Joe Wadlington, Global Creative Lead at Twitter, and creator and host of the Twitter podcast, Character Count. In our interview, Joe lets us in on the worst kept secret at Twitter. They are ALL about authenticity and taking an experiential approach to marketing. And you know where we stand on that, so it's safe to say Twitter is all good in our book. Given their stance on experiments and authenticity, it should be no surprise that their first branded podcast was born out of an experimental marketing project. Joe gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how Character Count was born out of a quarterly experiential marketing project. He also gave us an eye-opening look at what planning, managing, activating, and measuring for each episode looks like.
