Navigating the
Creative Landscape


Podcasts & Audio
There is no single “formula” to podcast deals: When does video come into play and how does it affect the deal structure? How are the financier’s risks balanced against the creator’s needs? Are existing and future revenue streams accounted for? Does the deal set the stage for creating community around IP and maximizing audience engagement? With a constant eye on industry developments and best practices, our podcast & audio team supports clients across all stages of development, production, distribution, and monetization.
