Google Review 5/5

Sam is amazing to work with. He brought us from very few views to over ten thousand. He’s also a delight. Can’t recommend enough

The Challenge

Despite having great content and engaging hosts, the podcast wasn’t getting traction. Low downloads, inconsistent reach, and limited social media presence meant the show wasn’t reaching its potential audience. There was no strategy behind promotion or content repurposing, and the growth had stalled.

Our Strategy

We stepped in to rework the growth engine, so the show could finally get the attention it deserved.

​

  • Podcast Growth Strategy: Audited the brand, identified gaps, and built a clear roadmap to increase visibility across podcast platforms
     

  • Social Media Content System: Repurposed funny, relatable moments from each episode into short-form clips to boost reach on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
     

  • Platform Optimization: Updated podcast metadata, episode titles, and descriptions to improve discoverability and alignment with comedy audiences
     

  • Engagement-Focused Edits: Recut key moments for social to stop the scroll and drive new listeners to the full episodes
     

  • Distribution & Promotion: Ensured every episode had a strong rollout plan across platforms to amplify reach without overwhelming the host
