Innovation Crush is a weekly podcast hosted by American innovation expert Chris Denson. The show launched in September 2013 and is part of the Wondery podcast network. [1]

Contents

Background

Denson currently serves as the Director of Ignition Factory, leading innovation at Omnicom Group, one of the world's largest media agencies. [2] While leading innovation and marketing efforts for brands and corporations, Denson was approached by Sideshow Network, a division of Levity Entertainment Group to create a podcast series for marketers. After a few development meetings, Innovation Crush was launched. Focusing on cutting-edge creativity in business, technology and culture, Denson began "Innovation Crush" by interviewing the type of industry leading professionals and entrepreneurs he was working with already. [3] His personal motto is, “Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at will begin to change.” [4] Speaking on "Innovation" overall, Denson explained to Forbes, "The more limited you are, the more creative you have to be. Time constraints eliminate second guesses. Constraint is a unifier.” [5]

In December 2016, Pat O’Brien of Business Rockstars profiled Denson his series, where Denson explained, “whether you're a mom trying to figure out a new way to motivate your kids, or the CEO of GE, there's always a new plateau to reach." [6]

Reception

On episode #78 Denson interviewed Lee David Zlotoff, creator of the series MacGyver about innovation both in terms of how he as a writer has utilized his subconscious mind to solve problems. The character, MacGyver, was popular around the world because he was able to solve problems with his brain instead of a gun. Lee David Zlotoff explains his view of innovation and what his process is like as a writer. [7]

The podcast has put together partnerships with outlets such as Inc. Magazine, [8] SXSW, [9] Delta Airlines, Dell [10] and AT&T. [11] In 2016 Denson was profiled by Blavity, [12] Business Rockstars, [6] Breakout, [13] The People Series [14] and in October 2016 he was named by Adweek as one of the "12 Most Successful Media Agency Execs in Southern California." [15]
