Lily Taurau is the Brand Partnerships Director at FlightStory Studio, a next-generation media company powered by the proprietary methods and technology that helped scale The Diary Of A CEO into the world’s second-largest podcast in just five years. Now, FlightStory is using that proven blueprint to launch the next wave of global media brands.

With international experience across both traditional and emerging media, Lily’s career began in broadcast radio, moved into podcasting, and now focuses on what’s next: video-first media brands. Her career path reflects how audience behaviour continues to evolve - and how media must evolve with it.

Having worked on both sides of the mic, Lily deeply believes the most impactful brand partnerships do more than advertise - they elevate voices, spark communities, and create real value for audiences, creators, and brands alike.
