Manager of Europe’s biggest YouTubers launches new podcast
Independent podcast agency, Listen has partnered with Jordan Schwarzenberger to launch a new weekly video podcast.
Jordan is co-founder of Arcade Media and manager of The Sidemen, one of the biggest creator collectives in the world.
UNBOXED will be the ultimate resource for those wanting to get insight from the world’s leading content creators.
The podcast features entrepreneurs and creatives behind the world’s biggest content, kicking off with professional YouTuber Zac Alsop, plus Channel 4’s Goggleboxers Joe & George. They will be exploring a variety of topics such as growing your online views across social platforms, and how to nail YouTube thumbnails.
Earlier this month, a new report from Meta found that the creator economy (a technological and economic ecosystem of online creators) was worth over an estimated $100 billion.
With over 75% of young children aged 7-17 wanting to become content creators, UNBOXED will provide a roadmap to support the next generation of creators by bridging the skills gap.
Schwarzenberger is passionate about guiding today’s youth and passing on his knowledge. At the age of 25, Jordan has had many successes, ranging from careers as a Creative Strategist at VICE and LADbible, Founder of Gen-Z agency Roundabout, and CCO of global talent agency YMU. He believes a large part of his success was due to the mentorship he received throughout his career.
Jordan comments: “I’m hugely excited to be teaming up with Listen on the creation of UNBOXED. The idea, which started out as a small but ambitious idea to create a resource for young people to get into the industry, has now been brought to life by them and their incredible team.
“Hopefully this can really help to support the next wave of creators and executives looking to get into the social and creator industry and can be both a platform and community for young people in the space for many years to come.”
Darby Dorras, Director of Content at Listen, says: “Teaming up with Jordan for our first Original was a no brainer. We totally aligned on our missions – to create a fully functioning multichannel-podcast offering. Jordan is an exceptional talent, who lives and breathes the creator economy. We’re so excited to get the show out there.”
The first two episodes of UNBOXED are released today, 23 November across all major podcasting platforms and full video episodes can be watched on Spotify and YouTube.
Bonus episodes will be available on Apple from the 25 November.
