Today, we're sitting down with Molly Sloan, Senior Manager of Marketing Communications at Drift. Part of Molly's job (yes it's only PART of her job) is managing the Hypergrowth Podcast Network. A network of 4, soon to be 5 active podcasts, that she manages on a day-to-day basis. I'm just going to let that sink in for a minute.
FIVE podcasts. Most of us know how much work goes into creating a podcast and we only manage one. Imagine being responsible for managing 5 shows, and not just any shows, but shows for DRIFT. That's no small feat.
Molly took us inside the Drift network and inside what a normal day in the life is like for her. One thing that was clear to her from the start, was that in order to be successful (and sane) in her role, she needed to create a great process for herself and her hosts, and then trust in that process. It takes a lot of teamwork to make such a large network of shows work, and Molly utilizes the strengths of her team to keep the podcast process running smoothly.
