346. The Modern Agency Content Playbook, with Roger Nairn

Apr 29, 2026

On this episode of The Innovative Agency Podcast, Sharon Toerek welcomes Roger Nairn, co-founder of JAR Podcast Solutions, to reveal why long-form content has become one of the most powerful tools for building trust, authority, and meaningful engagement in a fragmented digital landscape.

Roger challenges the notion that shorter is always better and makes a compelling case for depth, authenticity, and consistency as the true drivers of connection. He details what separates forgettable content from shows that genuinely move the needle, how agencies can transform underperforming podcasts into storytelling assets that attract and retain the right audiences, and why “findability” is now just as critical as creativity.

Roger also unpacks how agencies can measure real engagement, experiment with format innovation, and unlock new revenue streams while protecting and leveraging their unique intellectual property in an AI-driven world.

  • Why long-form content is the antidote to low trust and short attention spans
