Yadin Porter de León
Global Executive Content Marketing Lead
VMware by Broadcom
VMware’s podcast was always a strong performing podcast, but they had ambitious goals. The primary challenge was to create content that was both compelling and educational to the end-user, the executive audience. They aimed to provide actionable insights and stories that listeners could share with their colleagues and teams, moving away from the stereotypical dry technology podcast. Yadin says, “In my role at VMware, it's important to start with two questions, which is anytime I do something, I ask, who's it for and what's it for."
By focusing on these two vital questions, Yadin and his team at VMware could curate a podcast series that reflected the interests and concerns of technology leaders. By doing so, they nurtured a deeper connection with the podcast's executive audience. Caspian acted as an extension of his team, offering knowledge, capability, energy, professionalism, and accountability. This partnership allowed VMware to focus on content creation and guest interactions while leaving the technical and production aspects to Caspian.
The alliance focused on creating content to help listeners progress, think, and act differently, providing valuable insights and resources. This led to the creation of an award-winning podcast that not only enhanced VMware's brand but also aided sales representatives in building relationships with key decision-makers like CIOs by offering them a platform to share and elevate their success stories without a direct product or company focus.
The immense success of the CIO Exchange Podcast reflects the power of curated, target audience-oriented content. Thanks to VMware's innovative approach, the podcast is a reliable resource for executives in the technology field, earning both Webby acclaim and internal awards. It showcases the brand's commitment to creating influential dialogue within its executive audience.
