Author and Podcast Guesting Specialist for Corporate Leaders
Graham Brown is an author and founder of Podcast Guesting Pro who helps corporate leaders, founders, and storytellers get booked on aligned podcasts and build thought leadership.
He began his career studying youth mobile behaviour and founded mobileYouth in 2001 to understand youth marketing and mobile culture; that early work serving clients such as Nokia, Vodafone, MTV, and Disney shaped his focus on audience insight.
Over time he moved from youth research into audio after seeing business leaders struggle to communicate authentically at scale, which led him to found a full-service corporate podcast agency and develop programs to train hosts and producers.
His route into podcasting combines formal study in Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Psychology at the University of Sussex and Entrepreneurship training at Harvard Business School Online with decades of client-facing agency work.
He helps corporate leaders, startup founders, and storytellers find their voice. He leads Pikkal & Co, an award-winning corporate podcast agency, and runs Podcast Guesting Pro.
He previously hosted Asia Tech Podcast and previously grew mobileYouth to over 250 clients in 60 countries; his agencies operate from Singapore with partner studios across Australia, Austria, Canada, Croatia, Ireland, Sweden, the UAE, the UK, and the USA.
On a practical level he designs and produces enterprise and government sector podcasts, helps clients secure relevant podcast appearances through Podcast Guesting Pro, and runs The Podcast Accelerator mastermind for hosts and producers.
His clients include management consultancies, investment banks, founders, and CEOs who need repeatable formats and measurable audience reach. His work combines podcast strategy, production oversight, guest booking, and live-streamed interviews to help senior leaders share their expertise.
He argues that personal stories help leaders build trust in an age of AI-generated communication; he blends insights from AI and cognitive psychology with brand storytelling to make leaders more relatable and memorable.
He advocates enterprise podcasting as a durable format for leadership communication and positions podcasting as a strategic channel for building Brand Love.
As a podcast guest, Graham Brown shows up as a host-turned-producer who translates enterprise podcast strategy into practical steps and examples; audiences get actionable tactics to launch or refine brand podcasts, practical guidance on securing aligned guest bookings, and frameworks for human-first communication in the age of AI.
