BEHIND THE MIC: HOW WE PRODUCED A TECH PODCAST
PODCAST PRODUCTION | BRANDING
IBC is the world’s premier event for content + technology, attracting over 60,000 professionals from the global media, entertainment + tech sectors to Amsterdam each year for a dynamic tradeshow + conference.
IBC365 is IBC’s online editorial platform. It delivers valuable business insights and expertise to the global media, entertainment, and technology community year-round.

THE CHALLENGE
IBC365 is already renowned for its top-tier written articles and webinars, but there was an exciting opportunity to evolve and diversify its content to engage modern audiences.
As content consumption habits shift toward more dynamic formats, IBC needed a fresh approach to expand its reach and build anticipation ahead of the highly anticipated IBC Show.
THE SOLUTION
Enter the Accelerating Innovation Podcast, a 6-part magazine-style series designed, curated, and produced by Chalk+Chilli. Focused on cutting-edge tech trends, this podcast was a game changer, crafted with three engaging segments per episode:
-
Tech Leaders
-
Behind the Scenes
-
Updates on IBC Accelerators
This new content strategy aimed to revitalise IBC365’s digital presence, fuelling buzz in the lead-up to the IBC Show while attracting new audiences. The objective was not only to amplify IBC’s relevance but also open doors to new growth opportunities.
Pre-production:
From crafting the show’s format and recruiting top-notch guests to securing studios and scripting episodes, our team managed every detail.
Production:
We handled the recording of guest interviews, host pickups, and trailers to ensure a polished, professional sound.
Post-Production:
Rough cuts, editing, mixing, and mastering were all expertly handled, alongside the creation of dynamic intros, outros, music, and effects.
Publishing:
We developed the publishing platform, created a schedule, and ensured all assets were optimised and uploaded for maximum reach.
Visual identity and social assets:
Eye-catching podcast covers, episode artwork, and soundbites were designed to enhance the brand’s presence on various platforms, with tailored graphics for social media.

Chalk+Chilli delivered a high-quality production and the podcast continues to successfully expand IBC’s digital footprint, solidifying its reputation as an industry leader in both content and technology.
