Glassbox was founded on the belief that podcast catalogs will eventually exceed the value of music and television catalogs. Created the central focus of increasing the IP value of Podcast Shows. Glassbox Media was built by a passionate team of media and AdTech professionals who first came together to help the Dollar Shave Club video go viral in a previously exited company called Giant Media. They bring that expertise to the table by helping brands like Heineken, BetterHelp, and Hyundai connect with the most relevant Podcast Creators in the industry.
