A Full Service Podcast Agency built for Community-Centered B2c and B2b Companies

Our goal: Help You Become Your Customers’ Favorite Show.

Episode after episode, create thoughtful, compelling, entertaining conversations that strike a chord with your incredible client base and community.

Figuring out where to start with a podcast is hard. There’s a lot of “stuff” involved. Things like storytelling, cover art, interview techniques, hosting, recording platforms and equipment.

It’s okay. It doesn’t have to be hard. With one of our packages, you get everything needed to launch and grow your customers’ favorite show.

Our Podcast Series Campaigns are broken down into three development phases.

Phase 1: Pre-Production (Strategy)
Phase 2: Production (And Action!)
Phase 3: Post-Production (Build Out Episode Assets Scheduled Release, and continued feedback for improving process + episode content, season after season.)

Phase 1: Pre-Production Services Costs

Based on what your development needs are, we set up a straight forward consulting fee for establishing:

overarching podcast market strategy, goals, and KPIs
podcast branding
podcast value proposition
podcast assets: designing intro, outtro video assets and video brand kit
podcast intro musical soundscore + graphics
templates for introducing guests
grooming host for refining interview tactics + on camera technique, and styling
guidance on podcast cover art and creative direction
setting up hosting platforms and podcast directories on all major podcast platforms
pitch deck for podcast guests
building your dedicated video podcast YouTube Channel (if applicable)
guide your marketing team in developing a seamless podcast guest onboarding process to ensure an excellent guest experience (one of the most critical parts!)
guidance to your key team members on critical podcast guest booking experiences
crafting, filming + photographing virtual set design on-location (if relevant)

Expect this part of the process taking 6-12 weeks for execution of full service customization if we’re starting from ground zero (production may begin during this process.) This package will be tailored to your brand needs. Our pre-production consulting fees for this phase typically range from $8,000 to $32,000 depending on your development scope.

Phase 2: Production

Set Design Styles

Classic In-Studio, Full Set Build Out, or our Signature Hybrid, Green Screen In-Studio Set Design, see these references to decide what matches your show needs.

References To Podcast Set Design Examples

**In-Studio Set Build Out**

(Think: *Joe Rogan* Podcast.) What most people think of for a podcast. Minimal set design, recorded in our podcast recording room.

Full Production Set Design

A fully styled, multi-camera podcast recording set at your location (Think: Marie Forleo’s award-winning *Marie TV*.)

**Hybrid: In- Studio Green Screen Set Build Out**

The feel of full set production, without the price tag. Custom digital set build-out matching your brand aesthetic, in our downtown Charleston recording studio location. Our favorite form of production. Managing sound design with an in-studio podcast recording environment, we choose a digital set background (photos+videos taken in your office environment, or from spaces with kindred design elements) that aligns with your brand aesthetic. The result is a beautiful recording set without the hours of prep that go into an on-location set design. Our hybrid in-studio green screen set designs are great turn key operation option and a sweet spot for our brands with cost-conscious budgetary requirements.

Facilitated Remote Recording

Recording your episodes remotely, and need someone to have your back to ensure a phenomenal virtual guest hosting experience? We set up your recording platform (think: *SoulFire* Productions), and moderate each episode.

Already have production handled, just need a partner to handle post-production editing?

If you’ve got production handled, and you’re just looking for a post-production partner, skip the production part, we’ll manage your post-production workload. We gotchu!

Phase 2: Production Services Costs

Lights, camera, action! And we’re rolling! Phase 2 is all about actively recording. We highly encourage our clients to batch record; it’s our signature way we aim to maximize and be economical in your investment in production costs. Through blocking 2-3 days committed to recording, we’ve found this is one of the most successful and efficient ways to ensure a sustainable podcast production.

We do offer individual episode recording rates; however we highly encourage our Clients to batch record to optimize their investment in production time for you to record your show sustainably, season after season.

Q: How many episodes can I record in a single day?

A: This answer depends largely on your host’s energy, and stamina. Hosting 60-120 minute conversations back to back can be energizing to some hosts, and draining for others (hence, we do this with our clients every 1.5 - 3 months to keep it sustainable!) Our all-time record was seven episodes of our own show in a single day. I (Shelby) had to stare a blank wall and think about nothing for the next two days to recover after talking and being “on” for over eight hours straight. :)

That being said, we encourage our clients to set reasonable expectations and aim for 2-4 episodes per day of shooting (think: 2 episodes in the morning, give your host a break for lunch and to refresh, then schedule 2 in the afternoon/evening), with 2-4 consecutive days of production to knock out the majority of each season’s content (8-12 episodes, depending on your goals for the platform.)

Q: What if some of my guests are in-person, and others are going to be virtual sessions?

A: That’s no problem! We separate production costs from post-production costs so you can tailor each season to exactly what your production needs are. If you have international guests where it isn’t feasible to host in-person, we offer our remote recording production package at a per episode fee so you can customize it to your schedule demands.
