Martha Stewart recently joined iHeartMedia Chairman and CEO, Bob Pittman, for a special live recording of "Math & Magic" that left our audience inspired and energized. From authenticity in branding to fearless business decisions, Martha shared how she transformed her passion into a successful local catering business and ultimately a lifestyle brand. Her powerful message resonated throughout the room: true success comes from evolution, not reinvention, and maintaining a genuine connection with your audience. Bringing inspiring conversations like this to our clients and our listeners is a big part of what we do (and love!) at iHeartMedia.

In a conversation yesterday with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, iHeartMedia's Chairman & CEO, Bob Pittman, unveiled the profound role of radio as the trusted voice that keeps Americans informed, entertained, and connected. With its quarter of a billion monthly listeners, Broadcast Radio has three times the trust of social media, and its impact goes far beyond the numbers. In an era of division, Broadcast Radio remains a unifying medium. You can watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gG_RSkjd

During Hurricane Helene, the Canton, NC community, like so many others, came together to work tirelessly to rebuild and restore hope after the hurricane.   Some of those community members are also iHeart employees, and we are incredibly grateful for the efforts. Eddie and Amanda Foxx, Tank Spencer, Mark Starling at iHeart stations 99.9 FM Kiss Country and 570 AM WWNC, as well hosts at 101.7 FM WPTL, went above and beyond for weeks after tragedy struck. The crew stayed on the air to share crucial updates, connect with people in need, and listen to callers during the most uncertain times. These radio hosts served their community when it needed them most. In recognition of their service, they will be honored as grand marshals for this year’s Christmas parade on December 5 in Canton, NC.    We thank all first responders and the local communities for inspiring us all with your resilience and bravery. https://lnkd.in/eyEmtXX8

The “ignored consumer” is more than a statistic—it's a wake-up call for marketers to rethink messaging and strategy. Nearly half of Americans feel like they are ignored by media and advertisers, and small-business owners share the same point of view. In partnership with Malcolm Gladwell, our New American Consumer 2.0 study shows how human biases in marketing create missed connections—and what we can do to build real, trusted engagement.  Read iHeartMedia’s Digital Audio Group CEO Conal Byrne’s full piece in Forbes: https://lnkd.in/e3QYP7Gv #iHeartMedia #NewAmericanConsumer #AudioCon #ConsumerInsights #Marketing #Advertising
