Cody Gough's Linkedin Analytics

I'm a veteran storyteller with more than 20 years of experience in content marketing and editorial leadership. I led Discovery's launch into the podcast space and have produced award-winning written and multimedia content for several world-class brands. What sets me apart is that I lead projects with enthusiasm, energy, and empathy, placing a constant emphasis on clear communication. I created and produced one of the most popular science shows on Apple Podcasts, I have trained executives around the world on content strategy, and I have successfully led teams through organizational transformation. For the start-up Curiosity.com, I created, produced, and hosted Curiosity Daily, a daily educational show that reached more than 50,000 weekly listeners. I meticulously developed and edited more than 3,500 pages of research-based scripts, episode show notes, and promotional social media posts and videos for the show, and leveraged my expertise in digital marketing measurement and analytics to support the executive team’s sales and acquisition efforts. My content and insights were leveraged to achieve the company's goal of being acquired by Discovery, where I continued to produce and host Curiosity Daily while supporting similar brand awareness plays across Discovery’s portfolio of television brands. Prior to Discovery, I managed all global social media efforts for the management consulting firm Kearney. There, I coached executives on LinkedIn profile optimization and content planning, both virtually and on-site in locations including Mexico City, London, and Madrid. I also led the development and execution of the firm's largest social media and communications initiative on-site at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland. While I have led teams and projects throughout my career, I was able to fully showcase my leadership abilities in my recent role as Director of Podcast Production at Sweet Fish Media. I restructured departments to reduce friction across teams, led conversations with the executive team to align on a clear vision for the company, and worked directly with clients and my team to significantly reduce client churn. These accomplishments required working extensively with every department in the organization to ensure changes were effectively implemented. In short: I think strategically and I solve problems. As a versatile marketer, I have demonstrated expertise as a writer, audio and video producer, social media strategist, ad campaign manager, email marketer, media relations professional, and webinar developer.
