BANG Partners with Awfully Nice on Podcast 'The Perfect Pitch' for Spotify Originals

'The Perfect Pitch' follows two teams, each comprised of a music composer and sound designer, as they execute and submit their work in response to creative briefs or 'challenges' from high-profile marketing and advertising executives. Each episode presents a new and unique creative challenge.

Along the way, listeners will learn the techniques they’re employing, the craft of audio production and more. At the end of each episode, the brand execs will select a winner.

Brand guests, including the CMOs of Indeed, Athletic Greens and Frito-Lay, will put the audio creatives to the test with challenges such as create a 30 second audio spot that encapsulates the feeling one might get when they hear the words 'You’re Hired!' or design and produce a mnemonic device that evokes the sound of the iconic Doritos Triangle.

BANG composers Brian Jones and Timo Elliston wrote the show’s score and theme music, Sr Engineer Nick Cipriano handled mix duties, and Alec Setten produced.

TV presenter AND comedian Hunter March hosts the show.

According to Grace Kao, Spotify’s head of ads business marketing, “The Perfect Pitch brings people under the hood, taking listeners on a journey to understand the craft of audio production – Spotify offers advertisers and creative minds a unique canvas to play, create and innovate. We wanted to shine a light on the process and inspire others to flex their creative muscle.” 

BANG & Awfully Nice continue a partnership that includes previous series like Coupledom with Idris & Sabrina Elba for Audible as well as The Messenger and The Last Resort for Spotify.

Episode 1 'You’re Hired (with Indeed.com)' is available now - only on Spotify!
