Exclusive Resources From Podcast Sponsorship Queen Jessica Kupferman

There’s no one better placed in the podcasting industry to talk about all things sponsorship and monetization than our Brand Ambassador, Jessica Kupferman!

Jess has helped us to develop a whole host of new resources in The Podcast Success Academy designed to give you everything you could ever need to know about how to create a podcast sponsorship contract and media kit.

How To Create A Podcast Sponsorship Contract

Whether you’re working with a large company or a small business, the contract is the most important part of the exchange between you and any advertiser.

Often at times, with smaller shows, this is skipped because neither party is 100% sure of what needs to go into an agreement. But no matter how small your podcast, if you’re monetizing it, you simply can’t afford to miss this vital aspect of sponsorships!

A podcast sponsorship contract should be a combination of a legal agreement, a statement of work, an advertising insertion order, and some terms and conditions without clauses.

In this resource, you will learn how to create one and have exclusive access to:

  • Podcast contract template
  • Insertion order sample
  • Campaign order form
  • Sample advertising agreement 2018

How To Create A Media Kit For Your Podcast

Your podcast Media Kit is a great sales tool, as long as it’s everything your advertiser wants to see….and nothing more.

It should contain everything a potential sponsor needs to decide if your audience are the right people they want to talk to, and if you’re the person to speak for them.

It’s lovely to think all sponsors would listen through your back catalogue of episodes to find out more about you. But, the reality is, they simply don’t have the time – so you have to sell yourself using a media kit.

It may seem like a daunting task, but fear not – our resources will help you.

In this resource, you will get exclusive access to:

  • Media kit checklist
  • Sample media kit for She Podcasts
