The Project

Keep 800 drivers close. Give the next ones a reason to listen.

Oakley Trucking has 54 years of history and 800 drivers on the road. That is a lot of people to keep connected, and a lot of legacy to explain to a generation of drivers deciding where to go next.

Oakley wanted one channel that could do both jobs: keep its current team in the loop, and open a front door for the drivers it hasn’t hired yet.

The Process

A show built with the team, not handed to them.

Strategy

Shape the format

Working alongside Oakley’s marketing team, we built The Oakley Trucking Podcast around what drivers tune in for: company news, education, and shout-outs for top performers.

Podcast Production

Launch the show

We brought the podcast to life and took on production, so the team could focus on what to say instead of how to edit it.

Content

Keep it growing

Episode after episode, we bring best practices and new ideas to keep the show fresh and growing.

Recruiting

Open the front door

Every episode doubles as a look inside Oakley for drivers who haven’t joined yet.

The Outcomes

Fifty-four years of legacy, with a voice for the next generation.

In their words

Heard helped us launch our show to stay connected with our 800 drivers. They help us keep up with best practices and new ideas to grow the show. We’re 100 episodes in and still going strong!
