DeepCast Expands Marketing Team with Strategic New Hires to Accelerate Growth

DeepCast announces the expansion of its marketing team with the addition of two seasoned professionals, strengthening the company’s position in the podcast sector. Faybeo’n Mickens steps into the role of Senior Manager, Marketing, overseeing partnerships, audience development, and overall marketing strategy while Nicholas Turturro joins as Marketer, focused on content marketing and growth.

“As DeepCast continues to scale, we’re strategically investing in marketing talent that can help us reach more creators and drive adoption of our AI-powered podcast solutions, ” says Lucas Dickey, CEO of DeepCast. “Nick and Fay bring exceptional expertise and industry connections that will accelerate our growth trajectory and strengthen our position as the leading technology partner for podcast creators.”

The expansion comes on the heels of DeepCast’s recent launch of Podsite.fm (beta) and follows strategic investments from Automattic, Idealab, and the Glen Nelson Center at American Public Media Group—signaling growing market confidence in the company’s innovative approach to podcast technology.

Faybeo’n Mickens brings over fifteen years of experience as an award-winning audio marketing executive specializing in brand partnerships, strategy, community building and digital marketing. A graduate of the College of Charleston with an MBA from St. John’s University, Mickens has built a career championing audio creators—from serving as marketing director for multiple “Top 200” charting podcasts to spearheading initiatives that elevate independent voices to mainstream platforms. Prior to her podcast marketing career, she served as Senior Music Curator for pioneering audio fitness app Aaptiv, where she collaborated with industry giants including Warner Music, Sony, Amazon, and Tidal. Beyond her corporate achievements, Mickens serves as a cultural ambassador through the U.S. Department of State’s global Music Diplomacy Initiative.

Nicholas Turturro joins DeepCast with a proven track record in digital marketing. A Syracuse University graduate with honors, Turturro previously led marketing initiatives at DOOR3, where his campaigns directly generated over $1.6M in revenue. His multifaceted background spans content creation, campaign management, and strategic marketing, complemented by his experience at Broadway For All, where he managed digital marketing strategy for the Tony Award-winning nonprofit.

“We’re at a pivotal moment in DeepCast’s growth story,” continues Dickey. “With our recent product launches gaining traction and new investment fueling our expansion, bringing on marketing leaders of Nick and Fay’s caliber demonstrates our commitment to scaling intelligently. Their expertise will be instrumental in communicating the unique value we bring to podcast creators and building strategic partnerships that expand our reach. The new marketing leadership will spearhead initiatives to maximize creator success through comprehensive resources and educational tools tailored for DeepCast Creator and Podsite.fm. ”At DeepCast, we’re committed to meeting creators where they already gather and engage. Fay and Nick will amplify our presence across the entire podcasting ecosystem—from industry events and targeted newsletters to podcast appearances, comprehensive best practices guides, and community forums like Reddit," says Dickey.

“This strategic approach allows us to not only listen directly to the evolving needs of creators but also to educate and communicate our innovations to those who will benefit most from our tools. Our goal is to become an active, valuable participant in every conversation about podcast growth and success.”
