Suzy is excited to launch The Speed of Culture podcast in partnership with Adweek. The podcast is hosted by Matt Britton, Founder, and CEO of Suzy, and features industry leaders, as they dive deep into shifting consumer trends within their space, why it matters now, and how to keep up. New episodes will launch every other week!

To learn more about The Speed of Culture, we sat down with Matt Britton and asked him a few questions.

Can you give us a peek into the first few guests that you’re going to have on the show?

To kick off the first few episodes, we wanted industry superstars who are in rapidly evolving industries that are moving at the speed of culture. Our first guest is a close friend and former Suzy executive, Sofia Hernandez, who is the current Global Head of Business Marketing at TikTok. In the episode, we have a rich conversation about the future of community-based commerce. If your brand is looking to advertise on TikTok, this is a must-listen. The next guest is Ken Ohashi, who is the current CEO of Brooks Brothers, where we talk about how he’s transforming the brand to meet the new consumer demands.

Why did you decide to launch the podcast?

Consumers’ mindsets and behaviors are rapidly changing and this podcast is all about how brands can move at the speed of culture. My hope is that this podcast can help brands stay on the pulse and continue to navigate these complicated times. We’re excited to launch and hope that this provides marketers with the knowledge they need to succeed.  

Final question, who is your dream guest to have on the show?

I would really love to have conversations with people who are leading industries that are facing tremendous consumer shifts. I’ve been a huge fan of Satya Nadella and would love to chat more with him.

Know anyone that could be a great guest? Reach out today!
