Global sports company PUMA launches the 'Go Wild Podcast' as the brand continues to amplify its 'Go Wild' philosophy.
The first episode begins with a compelling conversation between Colin Jackson and the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt, in a 30-minute sit-down interview. Listeners can expect an upbeat and playful conversation, diving into moments of triumph, emotional highs, and breakthroughs that have defined Bolt's extraordinary career, including overcoming lows such as the infamous 2011 disqualification.
The Go Wild Podcast delves into both sport and lifestyle, with conversations rooted in authenticity, courage, and self-expression. Through these podcast stories, PUMA aims to connect with its audience on a deeper level, embracing the aspirations of a new generation.
Julie Legrand, Global Senior Director Brand Strategy and Communication at PUMA, says: "The launch of our new Go Wild Podcast allows our audience to delve deeper into PUMA's brand DNA, told through the lens of inspiring individuals who truly embody PUMA's philosophy. At PUMA, we want to champion the individuals who have the courage to be themselves, and this first episode with Usain Bolt can do this perfectly. With more intimate conversations on the Go Wild podcast, we aim to inspire a new generation to embrace boldness, authenticity, and self-expression."
Following the launch of PUMA's largest global brand campaign to date in March, which champions the courage to be yourself and the joy of sport, the Go Wild Podcast delves into the personal journeys of those who embody this philosophy.
Episodes will feature as part of a wider Go Wild content series by PUMA, which will roll out full-profile video content on notable figures in sport and culture, alongside content at major global sporting events this year such as the Boston Marathon and the Women's Football Euro Championship.
