What is Behind the Launch?
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to produce a huge product launch? We wanted to share, so over an 18-month period, spanning 4 different launches, Director of Podcasts Cynthia Lamb interviewed the team members who pull off the amazing feat that is a Mirasee product launch. And while you may pick up a number of tips, this podcast is not a how-to; it's about the people behind the scenes. It's about the feelings, the disappointment, the regrouping, the learnings, and the perspective. How do you keep going when your months of hard work fail to bring the return you’re counting on? And what is it like when your launch brings in close to a million dollars? Listen to this 8-episode mini-series and find out.
