For nearly 47 years, Rainbow Room International has focused on education and career growth. Over the past year, the company launched the Rainbow Room International Podcast to preserve its unique culture and share its story. The podcast serves as an internal tool and an external showcase for the brand.
It supports staff at all levels, from apprentices to directors. It also offers clients and industry peers insight into the RRI ethos. Podcast host Riccardo Corvi stated the initiative aims to protect the company’s philosophy and standards, using a format that resonates with listeners.
The podcast began with an Origin Story Series, featuring founders Alan and Linda, and then each Director recounting their career paths. These discussions detail successes, challenges, and learning experiences. Internally, these episodes now integrate into training programs. Externally, listeners have praised the content’s transparency and positivity.
Future plans include a "Salon Stars" series, highlighting long-serving team members, and a "WHY" series exploring RRI’s systems and client consultation methods. The Artistic Team will also share expertise from their work in fashion and media.
As a finalist for the British Hairdressing Business Awards’ Innovation of the Year, RRI’s podcast exemplifies using modern platforms to safeguard heritage and inspire the next generation. The podcast is available on Spotify and YouTube.
