Welcome back to the Collective. Yesterday may have been the actual Super Bowl, but today we’re going to tell you about the event that was our Super Bowl: our live podcast recording with Siya Raj Purohit of OpenAI.
In December 2024, we turned a university innovation hub into a media stage, hosting OpenAI's Education Lead Siya Raj Purohit for a live podcast recording that landed in TechCrunch's Top Headlines, and demonstrated how our company could bring together technology, venture capital, and academia in a way that got people talking. Check out the interview on our Coeus Collective YouTube Channel.
So, here’s the behind-the-scenes story on how we did it. Everything from event marketing to broadcast production to PR strategy was handled by our team.
We saw the top two NFL playbooks last night: now here’s ours. We hope this is useful for our future corporate or university partners, or others who are building out similar events. Here we go!
