Work with me

We make your podcast – or we make it with you

Either we produce a podcast that belongs to your company and runs in your channel. Or we make episodes together that appear on digital kompakt – in front of an audience that has been listening to us for years.

Two routes

The question is: who owns the channel?

With a commissioned production it belongs to you. We build and run it, but it goes out under your name, in your feed – and it reaches the people you want to reach yourself: customers, applicants, your own staff.

With a co-production it belongs to us. In return you get something you could not build yourself in two years: an audience that is already there and already listening. You buy the one because you lack the craft. The other because you lack the reach.

Which one fits you?

You want to reach
Podcasting as a Servicean audience you already know yourself
Co-productionan audience you cannot otherwise get to
The podcast runs
Podcasting as a Servicein your channel, under your name
Co-productionon digital kompakt, under ours
Afterwards you have
Podcasting as a Serviceyour own channel and a team that can run it
Co-productionvisibility with a B2B audience
It fails when
Podcasting as a Servicenobody on your side has time to take part regularly
Co-productionyour topic is only interesting for your product

And if you do not know: we sort that out in a first call. Usually three questions are enough to see which of the two routes it is.

Route 1

Podcasting as a Service

We build and run the podcast that belongs to your company. You decide how much you do yourself – we take care of the rest.

01

Strategy & goal

What the podcast is there for, what it should achieve and how you measure whether it does.

02

Format & concept

The recurring frame: mechanics, length, rhythm, roles, name.

03

Editorial & guests

Topic planning, research, guest selection, briefings.

04

Recording & direction

Remote or on site, with our setup.

05

Editing & mastering

A sound that stays the same across every episode.

06

Cover & show notes

Cover art, descriptions, chapter marks.

07

Publishing

Hosting, feeds, platforms, reporting.

No ad slot with us

With a commissioned production nothing runs through the channels of digital kompakt. If you want our reach, route 2 is the one – or podcast advertising.

With or without Joël

Joël can host, and in some productions he does. In most he does not, and for good reason: a company podcast works better when the voices come from inside the company. So we teach the hosting instead of replacing it. If you want Joël to host, say so in the first call – that is a building block of its own, not the standard.

Route 2

Co-production on digital kompakt

Here you do not get a format of your own, you get a place in ours. We only do this with a few partners – and only when the episodes would be good for our listeners even without your logo.

Co-hosting

Someone from your company sits at the table regularly and helps lead the conversation. The strongest form: your people become visible as experts.

A series of your own

A recurring topic across several episodes, edited by us, carried in substance by you.

Sponsorship

You back a series, are named as the sponsor and are present around it – without sitting at the microphone yourself.

Partners in our co-productions

  • Signal Iduna
  • Deutsche Börse
  • Viessmann
  • Payback
  • eBay
  • SAP Signavio

And what is the difference from podcast advertising?

Advertising is a spot in an episode that would exist without you – booked by impressions, 40 to 60 seconds long. A co-production is the episode itself. You are not buying a place in the programme, you are part of it.

If for now you only want attention, podcast advertising is the faster and cheaper route. A co-production is worth it when your topic is interesting to our listeners anyway.

Why us

We have already made the mistakes

We have been making podcasts for over ten years. In that time we have seen just about everything there is in podcasting – and made just about every mistake once ourselves.

The format that nobody cared about after eight episodes. The recording where only one track was running. The approval loop that cost three weeks because nobody had spoken to the legal department beforehand.

We do not say this out of modesty, but because it is the actual value: you do not have to make these mistakes again. Anyone who has seen a company podcast fail plans the next one differently.

Enquiry

Let us talk about your podcast

Write briefly what you have in mind: your own podcast or an appearance with us, who should host, from when and how often. We will come back with a suggestion for which of the two routes is the right one for you.

Prefer to write directly? redaktion@digitalkompakt.de

The third route

Or you do it yourself

Not every company needs a production. Sometimes the people who could host are already there, and all that is missing is the craft around it: which format? How often? Which microphone? Who sorts out the approvals?

That is exactly what Joël built firmenpodcast.de for – a course that makes you ready to launch in a few weeks. The same ten years of experience, just passed on in the other direction: you do it, we show you how.

Coming soon firmenpodcast.de goes live shortly.
