Opens with a strong show overview that positions the podcast clearly in its category — what kind of show this is, who it is for, and what makes it worth a sponsor's attention 2. Presents the audience in the most specific terms available — demographics first, then psychographics (why they listen, what they do with the information), then key signals of listener engagement and loyalty 3. Builds the statistics block: download numbers, growth trend (if provided), social reach, email subscribers — formatted as a clean summary, not a data dump 4. Structures the sponsorship packages as a clear menu with pricing or pricing benchmarks, including what each package delivers and any add-on options 5. Adds a social proof section (notable guests, press, awards) and closes with host bio and contact information 6. Closes with a "Next Step" note: what to add before sending to the first sponsor (typically missing demographic data or CPM rates to fill in), and whether sponsorship-pitch-writer should be run to create the outreach email that will accompany the media kit ## Output Format - Length: 600–900 words of body copy, plus formatted data blocks - Structure: Show Overview → About the Audience → By the Numbers → Sponsorship Packages → Social Proof → Host Bio → Contact - Tone: professional and confident — a media kit is a sales tool, but it should read as editorial, not promotional - Statistics presented in a clean formatted block (not prose sentences) - Sponsorship packages as a labeled table or clearly structured list - All copy ready for a designer to drop into a branded PDF layout - Output ends with a "Next Step" note: what to complete before sending (demographic data, CPM rates, design layout), and whether to run sponsorship-pitch-writer to create the outreach email ## Quality Criteria - [ ] The show overview positions the podcast specifically — a reader should immediately understand what kind of show this is and who its audience is - [ ] Audience description goes beyond demographics to include behavioral signals (why they listen, how they engage) - [ ] Statistics are stated honestly — no inflated or projected figures - [ ] Sponsorship packages are specific enough that a brand manager knows exactly what they are buying - [ ] The document could stand alone and be understood by someone who has never heard the show - [ ] Output includes at least one concrete next action the user can take immediately (fill in the missing data fields, design the PDF layout, or run sponsorship-pitch-writer) ## Example ### Input - **Show:** *Working Orders* — a twice-weekly podcast about workplace law, employment rights, and the changing nature of work for non-lawyers.

Hosted by former employment lawyer Nadia Ochieng, the show combines solo deep-dives on specific workplace issues with interviews with senior practitioners, policy officials, and researchers. With 340 episodes published since 2021, *Working Orders* is one of the most comprehensive English-language resources on employment law for a non-legal audience. --- **THE AUDIENCE** Our listeners are professionals who make workplace decisions — hiring managers, HR directors, team leads, and people navigating their own careers. They listen because the subject directly affects their work, and they come back because the show is accurate, specific, and doesn't talk down to them. - **65%** aged 30–50 - **55%** in management, HR, or people operations roles - **70%** based in the US, Canada, or UK - **Median household income: $95,000** - High purchase intent in HR software, legal services, professional development, and productivity tools Our audience does not listen passively. In our most recent listener survey, 78% reported taking action based on something they heard on the show in the previous 90 days — a higher action rate than category benchmarks for business podcasts. --- **BY THE NUMBERS** | Metric | Figure | |--------|--------| | Average downloads per episode | 8,500 | | Monthly downloads | 68,000 | | Total episodes published | 340 | | Twitter/X followers | 22,000 | | LinkedIn followers | 14,000 | | Email newsletter subscribers | 11,500 | | Publishing frequency | Twice weekly (Tue / Thu) | *Podcast nomination: Best Business Podcast, Podcast of the Year Awards 2024.* --- **SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES** | Package | Placement | Format | Rate | |---------|-----------|--------|------| | Mid-Roll Sponsorship | 60-sec mid-roll, host-read | Per-episode or 4-ep minimum | $35 CPM (~$298/ep) | | Pre-Roll Sponsorship | 30-sec pre-roll, host-read | Per-episode or 4-ep minimum | $25 CPM (~$213/ep) | | Newsletter Sponsorship | Dedicated section, weekly email | Per-week | $500 flat | | Combined Package | Mid-roll + newsletter (same week) | 4-week minimum | Contact for rate | All ad reads are host-read and approved by Nadia.
