Vision

When the British Army’s Centre for Historical Analysis and Conflict Research (CHACR) and the Project for the Study of the 21st Century (PS21) set out to launch Facing Coming Storms, they needed a podcast that would deliver expert-led, in-depth analysis on global security, military strategy, and evolving threats.

Our challenge was to translate this vision into a compelling, high-quality podcast that balanced authoritative insight with engaging storytelling. It needed to stand out as a credible, thought-provoking platform—one that would attract military professionals, policymakers, and defence enthusiasts alike.

Brand

To reflect the podcast’s strategic focus, we developed a strong, disciplined brand identity. The visual design aligned with military and defence aesthetics, ensuring authority and professionalism. The audio branding was carefully crafted to match the weight of the discussions, with clear, precise sound design that reinforced the podcast’s serious tone.

From structured pacing to sharp production values, every element was designed to establish Facing Coming Storms as a trusted, expert-led resource on global security.

Production

Given the international scale of the podcast, we utilised our high-quality, secure virtual studio to capture studio-grade audio from anywhere in the world. With guests joining from different time zones—including active warzones and high-security locations—we ensured seamless remote production without compromising on sound quality.

Each episode features senior military leaders, analysts, and global security specialists, providing deep insights into defence strategies, emerging threats, and historical lessons. The structured yet dynamic format ensures engaging, professional discussions on topics such as shifting alliances, cyber warfare, and NATO’s evolving role.

Result

Since launch, Facing Coming Storms has become a key resource for serious defence discussions, building a loyal audience of military professionals, policymakers, and security analysts. By featuring high-ranking officials and leading defence experts, the podcast strengthens CHACR and PS21’s reputations as thought leaders in global security.

As tensions rise and new threats emerge, Facing Coming Storms continues to provide vital expert analysis, ensuring its audience stays ahead of the evolving nature of conflict.
