Working in partnership with Midroll/Spoke Media, we developed a branded podcast investigating history’s most notorious data breaches and a creative media plan to support it.
Suspenseful narrative storytelling brings urgency to an issue facing businesses big and small. The message: Protect your data today to protect and grow your business tomorrow.
Breach is a two season, 12-episode podcast examining the world’s most notorious data breaches. It looks at how they happened, the consequences for the company involved, and how it could have been prevented. Hosted by tech journalist Bob Sullivan and producer Alia Tavakolian, they go inside the hacks like those at Yahoo, Equifax, and more. The show features interviews with cybersecurity experts, former employees who handled the breaches, and hackers themselves.

“Breach is so much fun. If you enjoy Silicon Valley history, corporate scandal, heists or espionage…you will love this podcast. As a bonus, the narrative is sprinkled with fast-paced humor that keeps you giggling. This is true crime for the digital age, fancifully interpreted by talented storytellers. I can’t wait for season 2.”
