Digiday is proud to present The Return, a podcast about the advertising industry as it grapples with returning to the office in a global pandemic that has forced society to reconsider the very idea of work. 

In four episodes, The Return follows Atlanta-based advertising agency Fitzco as the company returns to the office after a two year-pandemic hiatus, answering questions about Covid-19 safety protocols amidst each new wave of the virus. It will also examine company culture, the push to change the future of work and what true work-life balance looks like. 

The Return includes interviews with employees at Fitzco and several future of work experts. The podcast will probe the office, its purpose in working America and its fate. 

The Return is hosted by Kimeko McCoy, senior marketing reporter and Digiday, and produced by Digiday audio producer Sara Patterson. Subscribe to the Digiday podcast now on Apple Podcasts – or wherever you get your podcasts – to hear the first episode on Wednesday, July 27.
