The experience behind the advice.
Headphone Digital is led by John Slater, whose background spans more than 20 years across audio, video and marketing. That includes senior radio content and audience roles at Bauer Media across stations such as Northsound 1, Tay FM and MFR, leading teams, shaping content and coaching presenters to communicate more clearly with their audience.
John has also been involved in podcasting since 2007, from the early days of the medium through to its role today as a valuable channel for businesses, brands and creators.
A background in marketing adds another perspective: what is this content for, who needs it and how does it contribute to a wider goal?
Those questions are at the heart of Headphone Digital. We work with business owners and marketing teams on podcast strategy, helping them decide what to make and why. We also coach podcast hosts and creators of all kinds on the skills that make listening worthwhile.
Our advice is grounded in an understanding of production and what it takes to bring a show together. Our focus is the thinking that comes before recording and the person behind the microphone or on camera.
What it’s like to work with us
You’ll work directly with John. We’ll start by listening to what you want to do, asking direct questions and offering practical advice you can use. Together, we’ll agree what support you need and keep the work focused on that.
Headphone Digital is based in Aberdeen, Scotland.
