Inside the partnership

What’s included in every Creator-First Show

The exact level of resource scales with your tier, but every Creator-First partnership is built around three core pillars: production, distribution and growth, and monetisation and IP.

Production

Studio & show build

We provide a professional home for your show, with the tools and team to capture high-quality content every time you step into the building.

  • Dedicated studio time each month in our podcast and video spaces.
  • Multi-camera video, pro audio and lighting included.
  • On-site producer / technician to run sessions.
  • Edited master episodes (audio and video).
  • A bank of short-form clips scaled to your tier.
Distribution & Growth

We help you get your show in the right places, with the right structure behind it, so you can grow an audience over time.

  • YouTube channel setup or optimisation, including thumbnails and metadata guidance.
  • Publishing workflows and content calendars for episodes and clips.
  • Guest and cross-promotion strategy to compound reach.
  • Regular performance reviews with simple, actionable insights.
Monetisation & IP

Show to business

Beyond recording, we work with you to design a commercial plan and treat your show like a piece of long-term IP.

  • Monetisation roadmap across sponsorships, memberships, events and more.
  • Media kit and sponsorship positioning support.
  • Ideas for premium content, live shows or community products.
  • Advice on spin-offs, specials and format extensions.
  • Optional shared IP and revenue model for the right projects.

Why we created the Creator-First Show Package

Most studios will rent you a room by the hour. We wanted to create something different for creators and brands who think in seasons, formats and IP — not one-off sessions.

The Creator-First Show Package is designed to give you a consistent home, a production backbone, and the strategic support to turn a good idea into a show that actually grows and can be monetised over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a big audience already?

No. You do not need huge numbers on day one. You do need a clear idea of who you want to reach, what you want to talk about and a realistic commitment to recording regularly. We’ll help shape the format and growth plan with you.

What’s the minimum commitment?

Most Creator-First partnerships start with a three-month initial term so we can launch or refine the show properly. After that, we typically move to a rolling quarterly or annual arrangement depending on the level of support.

Do you offer an IP partnership model?

Yes. For selected shows with clear long-term potential, we can reduce or restructure the monthly fee in exchange for a negotiated share of IP and net revenue. This is reserved for a limited number of projects where it makes sense on both sides.

Can we start audio-only and add video later?

Yes. Some shows start audio-first to prove the format and add multi-camera video later. Others go straight to audio and video from day one. We’ll recommend what makes sense based on your budget, goals and audience.

Do you handle editing and clips?

Yes. Editing of full episodes and a bank of short-form clips is baked into the package, with volume scaled to the tier you choose. If you have internal editors, we can adjust the package to focus more on strategy and studio time.

Is this suitable for agencies with multiple clients?

Absolutely. We already work with brands and teams producing shows for different clients. We can act as your behind-the-scenes production and studio partner, or be introduced as part of your wider offering.
