For creators
Sponsorships, handled.
You make the show. We find the brands, make the pitch, close the deal and handle the paperwork. You approve what runs and get paid.
Who we’re connected to
Brands we are connected to, directly or through the people who buy for them. Logos for identification only.
The offer
A full sales team, without hiring one.
Everything a sponsorship sales operation does, run for your show on commission.
01
Prospecting
We build a live list of brands already sponsoring shows like yours. Then we rank them by fit and budget.
02
Outreach and pitching
We write the pitch, send it and follow up until we get the meeting. You never cold-email a brand again.
03
Rates, negotiation and renewals
We set the rate card, package your inventory and negotiate before a number reaches you. When a campaign works, we go back for the next one.
04
Contracts, invoicing and collections
We handle the IO, the agreement, usage rights, whitelisting and exclusivity. We invoice the brand and chase late payments so you stay out of the accounts-payable loop.
Who it is for
Shows with an audience that pays attention.
Hinde Media is built for YouTube channels and podcasts in categories where brands are actively buying.
- You publish on a consistent schedule, on YouTube, as a podcast or both.
- Your audience is engaged. Comments, retention and loyal viewers matter more than raw subscribers.
- You want sponsors that fit the show and are willing to say no to the ones that do not.
- You would rather spend your time on the next episode than on a sales inbox.
How payment works
Commission only. You pay nothing up front.
We earn a percentage of each deal we close. If we do not close anything, you owe nothing.
- Retainer
- None
- Setup fee
- None
- Our fee
- A percentage of closed deals
How the money moves
- 01You approve the deal. The brand signs the insertion order.
- 02The brand pays on the terms in the IO. We send the invoice and chase it if it runs late.
- 03You are paid your share as soon as the brand pays. Our percentage comes out of the same payment.
The exact percentage is agreed before we start and written into our agreement. Nothing changes without you signing off on it.
Questions
Things creators ask before they get in touch.
Is there a minimum audience size?
There is no hard number. What matters is a consistent release schedule and an audience that pays attention. If brands can reach a defined group of people through your show, there is something to sell. Get in touch and we will give you a straight answer.
What does it cost?
We work on commission. There is no retainer, setup fee or monthly charge. We earn a percentage of the deals we close for you, and nothing on the ones we do not.
Can creators keep their existing sponsors?
Yes. Deals you already have stay yours. We will talk through what makes sense on renewals so we are not working against each other.
Do creators have to take every deal?
No. Every deal comes to you with the brand, the rate, the deliverables and the timeline. You approve each one. If a sponsor is not right for the show, say so and we move on.
How long until the first deal?
It depends on your category, your audience and the time of year. Brand budgets move in cycles. We will give you an honest read on timing after we review your channel.
Do you work with podcasts that are not on YouTube?
Yes. Audio-only podcasts, video podcasts and YouTube channels all work. The pitch changes, the process does not.
What are usage rights and whitelisting?
Usage rights: the brand can reuse your content on its own channels, site and ads. Whitelisting: the brand runs paid ads through your handle, so the ad appears to come from you. Both are always agreed and priced up front, and neither happens without your approval.
What do you need from a creator?
A link to the show, your audience numbers, a list of past sponsors if you have any, and quick replies when a deal is on the table. The rest is on us.
