Five days at the fair.Months of impact.

Your booth closes on Sunday evening. Your topic keeps working as a professional podcast episode — with the Premium package, everything you need for website, social media and newsletter. Recorded at your booth or in advance, as you prefer.

After the fair comes forgetting

238,000 visitors. And then?

A booth is expensive, brief and fleeting. You present new releases, rights offers or a new imprint — but only those who were at your stand heard about it. The fair's attention fades on the last day, unless you give it a form that lasts.

5
days your booth is visible. One episode stays available permanently.
Unlimited use on your website, newsletter, social media and sales channels.
One recording. With the Premium package, weeks of marketing material.
What it's really about

You buy an outcome.

We don't promise listener numbers nobody can guarantee. Instead, we deliver something tangible: a professionally produced episode and, with the Premium package, ready-to-use assets for website, social media and newsletter that belong to you.

Without your own content

The booth is gone, the appearance fades. What happened at the fair stays only with those who were there.
