Leveraging Podcasting to Reflect Your Company Culture

Leveraging Podcasting to Reflect Your Company Culture

Author: Jessica Rhodes April 10, 2026 Duration: 22:39

In over 13 years of podcast experience, Jessica has never seen a marketing agency do what Deanna and Ashley are doing with their podcast. Ducks Unplugged isn't just a show about marketing; it's a living, breathing reflection of who Blue Duck Agency is and what it feels like to work with them.

About our guests

Deanna Dolecki is president of Blue Duck Agency, a boutique female-founded marketing agency. A Gen X professional with over 25 years in marketing, Deanna leads with strategy, flexibility, and a refusal to take herself too seriously. Ashley Ruggeri is a senior marketing executive and millennial mom with over 15 years of experience building results-driven programs. Together, they run Blue Duck and co-host Ducks Unplugged, a show as authentic as the agency itself.

What we cover

  • Why Deanna and Ashley launched a podcast to differentiate in an industry where agencies all sell the same things
  • The insight that changed how Jess sees their show: it's not that the podcast shaped their culture, it's that it mirrors it
  • How their low-prep, bullet-point-only approach produces more authentic (and more entertaining) episodes than scripted content ever could
  • The basement studio story and why a corner of Ashley's son's toy room beats a professional studio
  • Their production process: batching four episodes per shoot, a dedicated producer named Cindy, and a director who has mastered the angles
  • Why their ideal clients watch the podcast before ever getting on a call and what that means for their sales cycle
  • The dream client Deanna is absolutely going after (hint: it involves online dating)

About Blue Duck Agency

This isn't just about getting a guest spot; it's a deep dive into the strategy of leveraging podcast interviews to build authority and attract high-value clients.
