40 Hearts Publishes Performance Metrics for Its Own Podcast, 'age, the podcast'

40 Hearts posted a breakdown of performance metrics for its self-produced show, 'age, the podcast,' on LinkedIn on July 30. The creative agency framed the release as a demonstration of its branding philosophy, using its own podcast advertising campaign as the case study rather than a client account.

The post walks through the show's numbers directly, treating the podcast as a live example rather than a hypothetical pitch deck. 40 Hearts positions the data around a single idea: authenticity as a measurable output, not a marketing buzzword.

Agencies routinely pitch authenticity as a differentiator. Fewer put their own content under the same scrutiny they would apply to a client brief. 40 Hearts published and analyzed its own podcast metrics as part of this July 30 post.

'age, the podcast' is 40 Hearts' internally produced show. The July 30 post marked the first time the agency publicly shared performance data tied to the show, according to its LinkedIn company page.

No revenue or client figures were disclosed alongside the metrics post. 40 Hearts has not stated whether future updates on the podcast's performance will be published on a recurring basis.
