This week on Revenue Rehab, Brandi Starr is joined by Rita Richa, a B2B podcast strategist and executive producer with a track record of turning conversations into revenue. Together, they break down how Lenovo overcame lackluster event ROI by transforming traditional conference sponsorships into a pipeline-driving “pop up podcast” experience—turning fleeting booth traffic into meaningful, mid-funnel conversations and a year's worth of content in days. They discuss the end-to-end playbook for integrating real-time podcast activations, coordinated sales efforts, and data-driven storytelling to accelerate deals and maximize event impact. If you're looking to turn event spend into measurable pipeline momentum, this episode is for you. Episode Type: Case Study Revenue leaders who've been in the trenches share how they tackled real challenges—what worked, what didn't, and what you can apply to your own strategy. These episodes go beyond theory, breaking down real-world implementation stories with concrete examples, step-by-step insights, and measurable outcomes. Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers: Topic #1: Transforming Event Sponsorship With Pop Up Podcasts [06:04] Rita Richa identifies the inefficiency of traditional event sponsorships—“Too many CMOs are dropping six figures on conference booths only to walk away with bad scans, vague brand awareness, and no clear ROI.” She discusses how introducing a structured popup podcast experience enabled B2B brands to turn event conversations into revenue by “creating content with your ideal, you know, business targets, your ICP, your prospects...in real time at the event.” This shift made event investments directly tied to pipeline acceleration and measurable impact. Topic #2: Driving Pipeline and Content Scale Through Experiential Coordination [09:18] Rita describes the end-to-end activation of Lenovo's popup podcast, detailing coordinated touchpoints that move prospects from coffee sponsorship to booth engagement, culminating in short, strategic interviews rooted in case studies. “It's the entire collective experience of getting your customer from point A to point B to actually even want to come to your booth and have those conversations.” By enabling sales teams as ‘super fans' and centering content on relevant industry reports, the team achieved 15+ high-value interviews in two days, batching a full year's content while accelerating deal movement. Topic #3: Measuring and Maximizing Event ROI Beyond Brand Awareness [22:29] The discussion shifts to the trackable business outcomes derived from the popup podcast approach. Rita shares, “They were able to book like really significant follow up meetings and close a couple of, you know, deals because of this activation that if it were not to happen, like they wouldn't have an easy way to like follow up with these people essentially.” Brandi Starr highlights the benefit of activating both top-funnel and middle-funnel prospects at events, increasing velocity for deals already in the pipeline, and providing actionable methods to improve event ROI for CMOs and CROs. Key Learning If you had to do it all over again, what's one thing you would do differently? Rita would focus on incorporating public relations from the start to boost exposure—think reaching out to event journalists or organizers ahead of time and making the pop-up podcast an event in itself. Treating the brand like a media entity, she'd look for ways to gamify and engage the audience even more, ensuring content is compelling enough that people want to stop, watch, and share. The Big Win By transforming a traditional event sponsorship into a targeted pop-up podcast activation, Rita Richa enabled Lenovo to batch a full season's worth of high-quality prospect interviews in just two days, accelerate pipeline engagement with key decision-makers, and directly drive follow-up meetings and deal progression that would not have happened through conventional event tactics. Buzzword Banishment Rita's buzzword to banish is "just another day in paradise." She dislikes this phrase because it projects a disengaged, apathetic mindset in workplace interactions and can unintentionally define someone's personal brand as indifferent or uninspired. Rita argues that being real and genuine in responses fosters better human connection and avoids falling into autopilot, noncommittal communication habits.

And despite the worries of many, companies that adopted hybrid or fully remote models long after the COVID-19 lockdowns ended to continue to do well.But with more employee autonomy comes less employer control.On a new segment for Best Places to Lead, I take the interviewee seat and develop coaching guidance for CEO Jamie Dimon (the fictional business owner who often needs a little help) on how to get remote work right.

Theron Skees is a highly adaptive, solution-oriented creative executive with 30 years experience assembling and leading multi-disciplined, cross-functional teams for both domestic and international projects in the Themed Entertainment Industry. A veteran of Walt Disney Imagineering, he has led diverse concept, design and construction projects from hundreds of millions to multiple billions of dollars in a wide variety of experience types all over the world. The requirements for theme parks, hotels and attractions are different than retail, dining, entertainment and cruise ships, however, he applies the same story-based approach to connect the brand to the consumer in lasting ways. Disney is synonymous with family entertainment, and their parks reflect that commitment to quality. Whether it's the care taken to create an immersive environment or the focus on customer service, Disney sets the standard for the themed entertainment industry. For Theron, it's all about creating an emotional connection between the brand and the customer. That's what innovative design is all about. It's not just about making something look pretty; it's about creating an experience that will stay with people long after they've left your park or attraction. When done right, that connection can last a lifetime.On this episode of Bippity Boppity Business our host, Rita Richa and guestTheron Skees, Owner and CCO @ The Designer's Creative Studio, discuss:Storytelling in business, inspired by DisneyHow to connect your brand to an audience Excellent CX, infusing wonder in the work and experienceHow to continually create/innovate in a saturated market/ building selling experiences Want to learn more about the magic of branding behind the scenes to apply to YOUR business?

Bippity Boppity Business: A podcast for Disney Enthusiasts and Business Professionals.
When Disney acquired Pixar in 2006, it was a big moment for the company. In the book “Ride of A Lifetime,” former CEO Bob Iger recounts that many felt it was too risky, controversial, and almost impossible to successfully execute.Disney and Pixar were two very different companies, with clashing animation and culture ideals. Directed under Steve Jobs, Pixar's creative team were the rebels of animation, innovating and producing work that was far beyond the time and what technology was capable of achieving. They had free range to create, with little to no “corporate red tape”. Pixar's creative team was creating movie blockbuster hits like “Toy Story” that no one had ever seen before. Meanwhile, Disney was struggling to rank in the box office- the golden era of the 90's movies was beginning to fade. At the same time, they had stakeholder expectations, intellectual property, and Walt's legacy, for their creative team to maintain and consider. Innovation was welcomed, but the prospect of producing 3D animation, instead of hand drawn 2D, was not widely accepted. There was a lot of worry, from the Pixar team, that they would lose their creative edge, that they would become a corporate machine, that churned out product without any care or feeling. But Iger knew, in order to continue growing as a business, Disney had to merge with Pixar. Iger was aware of the potential cultural clash that would occur when their two very different organizations would come together. His team couldn't only be the ones executing this culture change management. Disney was not only acquiring Pixar's team and outputs, they were also acquiring the values and culture of Pixar. They needed a specialist, a neutral third party, to help bring these two very different worlds of business together. Adam Kingl was brought on board as a business consultant and leadership expert to help with the transition and merger. By hiring someone like Kingl, who could help them navigate these waters, Pixar was able to maintain their creative spirit and continue to inspire others.In this episode Rita Richa and Adam Kingl discuss:- Ways business leaders can effectively navigate cultural change and people during a merger- How culture directly correlates to business profitability and business success- Strategies Adam implemented to insure Pixar and Disney's cultural transition was a success- The difference between scientific management and creative leadership- Future of work and capitalism, how Disney is innovating in this space- The magic ways to fulfill organizational and personal purpose.Be sure to stick around for the Disney Rapid Fire Questions segment!

The secret behind Disneyland's success is in Mickey's 10 Commandments. Created by Disney's "Imagineers," this cheat sheet of sorts forms the core principles behind a brand that has captivated the imaginations of generations.This week's guest has spent the last 15 years using behavioral and consumer psychology to develop what she calls "meaningful marketing," and one of her major inspirations is Disney's story. Listen in as Rita welcomes Jennifer Clinehens, the founder of Choice Hacking and the author of the book of the same name. They dive into the psychological concepts behind Disney's vision, design, and execution of Disneyland that have created visitors for life. In this episode, Jennifer and Rita discuss:Jennifer's introduction to behavioral psychology.The Imagineers and Mickey's 10 Commandments:1. Know your customer.2. Wear your guest's shoes, a discussion on empathy.3. Organize the flow of people and ideas. 4. Create a weenie, a visual magnet, which ties to the concept of salience.5. Communicate with visual literacy.6. Avoid overload, applying simplicity theory to minimize cognitive load. 7. Tell one story at a time.8. Maintain identity and avoid contradiction. 9. For every ounce of treatment, provide a ton of fun.10. Keep it up.Jennifer: "I've been using behavioral science and psychology to create again what I'm kind of calling meaningful marketing and customer experience. So this idea that, can we sort of get into people's brains? That sounds creepy, but you know what I mean? Kind of see through people's eyes, why do people do the things that they do even if they don't really know it themselves?"Jennifer: "We don't create memories from every single moment of an experience. We create memories and opinions and beliefs and things about an experience based on only two points, and that would be the emotional peak, which can be good or bad, so it can be a trough of like a peak, and then the end of the experience."Jennifer: "I think a really important one is number two, so wear your guest's shoes. Having empathy for customers, the people you're trying to welcome to a park or sell something to, regardless of what your business is. Just go out and pretend to be a customer. Just watch people.
