Short form audio producer SpokenLayer, best known for audio narrations of articles published by media juggernauts Heart, Tribune, TIME, and others. According to CEO Andy Lipset, the company is increasingly doing original programming production for branded content. The latest to launch is Lucky Charms Magical Mission, a leprechaun-hosted adventure to magical lands.
The show has interactive elements that come into play in the Amazon and Google smart speakers. (The show is also distributed to Spotify.) Mindshare is partnering in the effort.
