Every story, thread, headline and meme is competing for a finite resource: your attention. Attention Shift is a podcast about who decides what wins — and what that means for brands, leaders, journalists, and the rest of us. Hosts Allison Braley and Sean Garrett bring two decades of communications experience to candid conversations with the operators shaping the modern attention economy.
Allison leads marketing and communications at Bain Capital Ventures, where she's spent the last decade helping founders find their voice. Before BCV she ran comms at Twitter, where she learned firsthand how attention is won, lost, and weaponized in real time. She lives in San Francisco with her family.
Sean is a communications veteran who led communications at Twitter through its hyper-growth years and has since worked with Amazon, Meta, Slack, and dozens of founders shaping what people pay attention to.
Each season we work with a handful of sponsors whose work we genuinely believe in.
Our audience skews founders, CMOs, comms leaders and operators at the most attention-rich companies in the world. We keep the partner list small — drop us a note and we'll share the media kit.
