Podcasts about contests

Marketing contests can be tricky business. On one hand, contests can be designed to help companies achieve certain business goals. On the other hand, companies can lose control over them pretty quickly. This week, we look at some of the most interesting – and hilarious – marketing contests. Including one about a city that held a contest to name a new building – and the public voted overwhelmingly to name it after a past mayor named Harry Baals. True story. Hosted on Acast.

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Melissa Slager, who earlier this year published a historical novel called "Contests of Strength," which focuses on the Cascadia Tsunami of January 26, 1700 and its impact on the Makah people living near what's now Cape Flattery and Neah Bay. While researching and writing her book over a period of 14 years, Ms. Slager worked closely with members of the Makah Tribe, and learned the Makah language.

Ed Sheeran BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Ed Sheeran is once again dominating headlines and social media, riding high on an exceptionally active week shaped by new music, massive tour announcements, and fresh collaborations that have everyone talking. According to Hits Daily Double, his 2022-2025 Mathematics tour is closing in on a record-setting 876 million dollars gross after raking in another 140 million this year cementing his position among the world's top live acts. While fans are still raving about his “Play” album, which launched September 12, Sheeran is making waves with a high-energy promo blitz: he played a special TikTok LIVE show in New York on September 13 to celebrate the album's release. TikTok partnered with Sheeran to roll out “The Play Album Experience,” offering fans exclusive content, digital rewards, and viral challenges that trended across the platform for days, as reported by Record of the Day.Ed's calendar remains relentless as he gears up for the continuation of his LOOP Tour: he just took the stage October 24 at AT&T Stadium in Texas, with more North American dates rolling into 2026. Contests and giveaways for coveted tickets are lighting up radio airwaves and streaming stations such as Hot 97.5/103.9. Official dates are plastered across his website, indicating a global push extending deep into next year. According to his team, tour production is scaling up in new ways, as he debuted DiGiCo's new Quantum112 flypack mixer for both NPR's Tiny Desk and TikTok shows—a technical detail noted by AV Nation that shows Sheeran is as focused on sonic innovation as ever.Collaborations and possible collabs are heating up industry talk too. Jon Bon Jovi raised eyebrows in a chat with Sky News by not only calling Sheeran “a brat” in a playful jab but also teasing the possibility of an Ed Sheeran-Jon Bon Jovi musical collaboration—music fans are on high alert. Meanwhile, Sheeran was recently tapped to headline Audacy's major charity concert “We Can Survive,” sharing the bill with Goo Goo Dolls and Shaboozey to help spotlight mental health, according to Audacy. Merchandise drops and exclusive vinyl releases tied to Play are selling out on his website in sync with these news spikes.Socially, Sheeran remains ever-present, with TikTok buzzing about his New York performance, and interviews making the rounds where he discusses balancing family and career. Entertainment outlets from AOL to Spreaker highlight Sheeran's reflections about embracing the “perfect balance,” bringing a personal note to his relentless professional momentum. There are some less substantiated rumors swirling about fashion partnerships, but no official confirmation from Ed's camp yet. All in all, this week Sheeran is managing to make music headlines, business news and social feeds all his own, in ways that may prove to be crucial milestones in his career trajectory.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to Federal Prison Camp Bryan has disrupted what was once one of the Bureau of Prisons' quietest, most orderly minimum-security facilities. Camp Bryan, known for housing low-risk white-collar offenders and women nearing the end of their sentences, suddenly found itself dealing with a high-profile inmate convicted of sex trafficking. Her arrival reportedly triggered new restrictions on inmate movement, increased staff oversight, and a visible security presence that contradicted the camp's “open” environment. Guards now monitor recreation and visitation more closely, and staff members have described the change as “an atmosphere of tension and special handling.” The placement itself sparked criticism, as Maxwell's crimes and sentence length make her an unusual fit for such a lenient environment, raising questions about whether her influence or notoriety played a role in her transfer.Inside the camp, resentment among inmates has been growing. Many see Maxwell as getting star treatment—reports claim she's received preferential accommodations, such as private meeting times, extended phone privileges, and even occasional exceptions to standard procedures. This favoritism has fueled hostility, with some inmates mocking or harassing her, while others complain that the facility's routines have become stricter for everyone else because of her presence. Staff have reportedly held meetings to warn inmates against threats or spreading stories to the media, showing just how much her mere existence there has upended normal prison life. In short, Maxwell's presence at Camp Bryan has exposed class divisions even within the prison system—turning what used to be a quiet minimum-security camp into a mini public-relations nightmare for the Bureau of Prisons.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Wie lange es braucht, um eine Sportart markenwirksam zu besetzen? Welche Umwege Marcus genommen hat, um heute als Senior Sponsorship Manager Sportarten zu entwickeln?

Hour 3 kicks off with Tobin rattling off some headlines that spirals into a conversation about championship games being recorded on VHS, Tobin thinks it is a lost art form and wants to bring it back! The segment somehow becomes about an ass chicken contest, as Tobin gives us his best clucker impression, a truly confusing moment to say the least. Tobin tries his luck again with Leroy as he brings up the QBs list but this time disguises it as why Tua was ranked where he was… Leroy once again spirals. We then get into our Mixes bag as we hear from Sean McVay, Mike Vrabel, and Michael Irvin. Does the Tom Brady Statue really look like him, huge discussions had by the gang, Tobin claims it looks more like Brock Purdy!
