Partnerships

We own and run the channels, so a partnership is agreed directly with us. That means one conversation, one set of standards, and a segment built into the episode instead of stuck on the front of it.

I / The shapesAgreed per partner

What a partnership can look like

These are shapes we have built, not a menu. What we actually do is agreed per partner, and fit with the channel decides it rather than the size of the ask.

the partnered partthe channel’s regular output

Agreed per partner

if it fits the channels

  1. Integration

    A named segment inside a regular episode, in the voice of the channel.

  2. Dedicated episode

    A whole episode built around the subject, made on the same process.

  3. Series or season

    The partner carried across a run of episodes on one channel.

  4. A channel of their own

    The studio builds and runs a channel that belongs to the partner.

Examples, not a menu

Or another shape entirely, agreed with the partner. Almost any shape is possible where it fits the channels.

The shape is agreed per partner. What decides it is fit with the channel, not the size of the ask.

II / Where you joinAt the start

Where you join the work

A partner sits in the room at the start, where the problem, the audience and the bounds are set, and sees the first cut before anything goes out. Nothing is bolted on at the end, because by then the episode is already what it is.

A partner sets the bounds with the studio at the start, and sees the first cut before it goes out. Nothing here is a promise about what it will do.

III / FitWhat decides it

What we take and what we do not

It has to suit the channel

The subjects are wide, so most things fit somewhere. What does not fit is anything the audience would read as out of character.

We write it

Copy goes through us and lands in the channel voice. You approve it, you do not draft it.

We will say no

If the only way to make it work is to overstate it, we will tell you rather than take the work and hedge.

The media kit

We do not publish audience numbers on this site. The media kit carries them, along with the categories, the formats and how a partnership is priced. It is sent by hand, so ask and we will send it to you directly.
