NEW YORK, April 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Yext, Inc.
(NYSE: YEXT), the Answers Search Company, today announced a new
podcast as part of its Yext Talks content platform. The first
season, titled "The Next Wave," is inspired by an uptick in
searches about new business and cultural norms in the wake of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Hosted by Yext's Christian Ward,
Chief Data Officer, and Josh Grau,
Chief Marketing Officer, The Next Wave will cover an array of
topics on the growing influence of digital on legacy models — from
the transformation of local businesses online to best practices
when designing for audiences with disabilities.
In the first episode, Ward and Grau will introduce the series
and discuss why website search hasn't evolved since 1999, how NLP
and AI will shape the search industry, and more. Subsequent
episodes will be released each week, featuring the following
guests:
- Seth Godin, bestselling
author, Akimbo podcast host, and founder of the altMBA, on the next
wave of marketing.
- April Underwood, Founder
and CEO of Nearby and former Chief Product Officer of Slack, on the
next wave of empowering local businesses.
- MJ DePalma, Head of Global Multicultural & Inclusive
Marketing at Microsoft, and Kelli
Kemery, Senior Market Research Manager at Microsoft, on the
next wave of accessible digital design.
- Sarah Robb O'Hagan, CEO
at EXOS and former President of Equinox and Gatorade, on the next
wave of digital and connected fitness.
- Steve Kalifowitz, Chief
Marketing Officer of Crypto.com, on the next wave of digital
currency and assets, like NFTs.
"As a search company, we know that so many of the questions
businesses are getting online are related to people trying to
figure out the new normal in a post-pandemic world," said
Josh Grau, Chief Marketing Officer
at Yext and co-host of Yext Talks: The Next Wave. "While there are
still many unknowns, the one thing we can count on is that even
more of our time will be spent online. Our podcast aims to reveal
what tech innovations are on the horizon to make our digital lives
that much better — and what's already here."
Listeners can find The Next Wave podcast on Spotify, Apple
Podcasts, and the Yext Talks page. Soon, they will also be able to
listen on additional platforms like Google Podcasts and
Stitcher.
