What makes us stand out from the competition is our focus on next-level,podcasts. A next-level podcast repurposes video content, blogs, newsletters, live streams, emails, social media content, and more across multiple channels. This makes it possible to grow a massive audience and in turn your business.
Additionally, we have spent years and millions of dollars developing an industry-leading podcasting software PodUp, that allows us to produce and market a next-level podcast more effectively and efficiently than our competition. PodUp has transformed how podcasts are created, syndicated, and grown by combining the functionality of 35+ different podcasting softwares into one easy-to-use platform.

During your free consultation call, one of our team members will get to know you and your business to better understand your needs. From there, they will help you understand both our production and marketing packages to help you decide which packages are right for you and your unique situation. Ultimately, our goal is to set you up for success, we want you to succeed and feel confident in the process.
Because of the amount of upfront work required to get your podcast up and running we require a minimum 6 month commitment. After that, you have the flexibility to go month-to-month.
Our experts have over a decade of combined experience in podcast production. Their expertise spans from every aspect of the podcast creation process - from ideation and research, to writing, editing, post-production, publishing, promotion, and more. Whether you’re looking to start your first podcast or take an established show to the next level, our team has the skills and experience to help make it a success.
If at any point you realize you need to switch or add another package onto your services you are welcome to do so. You’ll just need to contact your account manager to guide you through the process.
You can cancel anytime after the initial 6 months. After cancellation we’ll continue serving your podcast through the end of your current billing cycle to provide you a smooth transition. For example, if your contract started on August 15th and you cancel on May 2nd, our team will still run your podcast until May 15th.
It depends on the goals you have for your podcast and how much time you are willing and able to put in. If you simply want to get your podcast up and running with professional production quality but are willing to handle marketing and distribution yourself, then the production package may be sufficient. However, if you want support with marketing, social media, and getting your podcast in front of more listeners, then adding on the marketing package will be critical for growth.
If you aren’t sure, we recommend you take some time to think about your goals, the time you're able to commit, and how quickly you hope to grow your listenership. That will help determine if getting both packages is the right fit to set your podcast up for success.
