Sam Sethi chats with Matt Campion, co-founder and creative director of Spirit Studios, a modern production company that creates content across multiple platforms including television, podcasts, and branded content. The discussion centers around their evolution, their content strategy, and their adaptation to changing media landscapes, particularly their IP 360 approach which focuses on creating and exploiting content across different platforms.
A significant portion of the conversation explores how Spirit Studios adapts to industry challenges, including their shift toward true crime content and documentary programming due to better international monetization potential compared to comedy. Matt explains how they've developed a strategy of creating content that can work across multiple platforms, citing examples like their show "Outsmarting" which began as a digital series and expanded into both television and podcast formats. The discussion also delves into their approach to talent-led podcasts and the importance of having clear routes to market.
The conversation concludes with an interesting exploration of artificial intelligence in content production, including its current use in productivity tools and potential future applications in voice synthesis and content creation. They discuss the moral implications of using AI-generated voices, particularly for deceased celebrities, and debate the balance between technological advancement and maintaining content quality. The discussion also touches on the challenges of content distribution across different languages and the evolving ways audiences consume media, particularly regarding subtitles and dubbing.
