Streaming, Podcasting and Content Creation Execs Talk Global Branding at Variety Executive Interview Studio


Variety and Canva host their joint Executive Interview Studio, taking place from June 18 to June 20 at the Canva Villa in Cannes.

Tuesday’s studio conversations included one with host and creator of “MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories” John Allen (MrBallen), partner and co-head of UTA creators Oren Rosenbaum, CEO of Ballen Studios Nick Witters and Wondery head of global marketing Blad Norman. Adams, who created Canva 12 years ago, says the inception of the business centered around the product; he later realized that building a great team was the most important foundation for the company. She says her team focuses on tying different pieces of content, like “Those About to Die” and “The Traders,” to the broader portfolio and getting users to watch multiple titles on the platform.
