Shannon Clute’s career has been evenly divided between academia and industry, and, in both sectors, he has worked at the crossroads of innovation, brand strategy, media and instructional design to launch numerous scalable edutainment initiatives that aim to drive broad engagement while serving a greater good. In 2005, he and Dr. Richard Edwards launched Out of the Past: Investigating Film Noir—the first film analysis podcast and among the first academic podcasts—which went on to be featured on iTunes, broadcast on Australian Radio National and downloaded 1.5M times. He also created a series of four innovative multimedia edutainment courses at Turner Classic, which enrolled more than 70,000 learners and drove more than 300M organic Twitter impressions.
Shannon has held numerous positions in industry, including Director, Business Development and Strategy at Turner Classic Movies, where he was tasked with building a cross-functional and collaborative culture of innovation to foster creativity and entrepreneurship in response to market disruption. Before his time at Turner, Shannon was Assistant Professor of French and Italian language and literature at Saint Mary’s College of California, and Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Kentucky, where he taught courses in French and Italian language and literature.
Shannon holds a BA in Italian from the University of Colorado Boulder, and MA and PhD degrees in Romance Studies from Cornell University.
Summit attendees will be passionate about their public health innovation pilot. They will know the impact it could have and where it might lead. However, how can they transfer that to their colleagues back at their organization? Shannon Clute, Director of The Hatchery, Emory Center for Innovation, will lead attendees in learning how to socialize their pilot so it doesn’t end with just a plan.
