The Artist Evolution Will Host a Reveal of New Podcast Studio and Host Broadcast of Interviews
Fayetteville, AR, August 18, 2016 (Newswire.com) - The Artist Evolution (TAE), a marketing agency in Fayetteville, Ark., is hosting a reveal of their new, cutting-edge podcast production studio, nicknamed “the dod,” with live interviews of successful entrepreneurs Douglas Hutchings and Joe Saumweber. The broadcast will be attended by international students, from China, attending a summer program in partnership with Walmart, Field Agent, and TAE. The event will be from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Aug. 22.
Hutchings founded Silicon Solar Solutions while still pursuing his Ph.D. at the University of Arkansas and secured seed funding for the venture nine days prior to successfully defending his dissertation. Picasolar Inc., was spun out of Silicon Solar Solutions in 2012. As the CEO of both companies, Hutchings led the team to compete in 23 international business competitions where they placed in the top three finalists in every competition and won 12. Hutchings was named to the “Nation’s Top New Inventors” by Inventors Digest. Hutchings was named to the "40 under 40" list by the Northwest Arkansas Business Journal and is a winner of a 2015 Edison Award.
Joe Saumweber, Co-Founder and CEO of RevUnit, a technology consultancy, leads his cadre of strategists, experience designers and technologists to build products for brands like Walmart, Virgin, School of Rock, AutoZone, numerous startups and more. With a decade focused on retail, he has deployed solutions in nearly all aspects including: self-checkout, kiosks, backroom, consumer mobile apps and associate facing apps. Saumweber is a proud member of the Northwest Arkansas community and is involved in technology education, startup mentoring and founded the 479 Founders Forum, a peer mentorship group that includes many of NWA’s fastest growing startup founders.
The Pod is housed in TAE’s new location on Joyce Boulevard in Fayetteville. Lisa Lockwood, of Lockwood 2 Creations, consulted on the design of the production studio. The studio features frame-less, frosted glass entry, state-of-the-art recording equipment, vintage red/white ‘on air’ lights, timeless, oversize black and white posters to line the walls, a Belgium-imported vintage mic chandelier and a broadcast style desk made from re-purposed driftwood and steel. The desk was custom-made by EcoVet, which creates eco-friendly furniture handcrafted in America by veterans.
The podcast medium is growing exponentially with about 21 percent of the American population indicating that they are regular podcast listeners. About 64 percent of podcast listeners do so on mobile devices which has developed podcasts into the user friendly, convenient medium of choice.
