How a niche podcast makes live events and sponsorships pay
Q: How have you approached convincing advertisers of the value of smaller podcast audiences?
The guests say that a highly engaged niche audience offers meaningful attention, while their newsletter, articles, events and audience knowledge help demonstrate who listeners are and what sponsors can reach.
Black Ballad's Tobi Oredein on how events drive membership and community
Q: Can you elaborate on how you promote brands before and during events beyond just social posts?
We use a combination of a popular newsletter, social content, and authentic, community-centered posts that showcase real everyday use of products by Black women rather than polished influencer content. Influencers attend Weekender for face-to-face engagement, but brand messaging is anchored in the community's lived experiences.
The Guardian's Liz Wynn on building robust audience relationships
Q: What has been the biggest strategic driver of The Guardian's growth outside the UK?
A combination of strong editorial investment in key markets, a scalable supporter revenue model, and careful localization of messaging to fit local audiences, especially in the US.
Good Housekeeping's Liz Settle on how a back-to-basics strategy helped the 104-year-old brand deliver its biggest year ever
Q: What made 2025 such a good year for Good Housekeeping?
Liz explains that the brand achieved record revenue, digital ad growth, and a successful shift to an intergenerational, customer-first approach, plus a pioneering above-the-line TV campaign and a strong partnership network, all underpinned by disciplined cost management and a willingness to experiment with new products and editorial structures.
