17 Podcast Promotion Services for Company Podcasts

By , founder of Content Allies and owner of Listen Network. Both are among the 17 firms below.

Published Updated 16 min read

A company podcast usually reaches a point where the episodes are good and the audience is still small. The budget holder wants to know who is listening, the team has done what it can on its own channels, and the next step is to pay someone to grow the show.

Podcast promotion is sold in three different forms. Some agencies take on an existing show and grow it through PR, cross-promotion with other podcasts, search and video. Some networks sell targeted downloads or listens through paid placements. Production companies can also build promotion into the package for producing the show.

This guide compares seventeen firms across those three groups. It shows the proof each one publishes, the prices and guarantees it states, and the questions to settle before you sign.

Compare podcast promotion services

The table groups firms by the kind of promotion they mainly sell, A to Z within each group. The groups overlap: Lower Street and Produce Your Podcast also produce shows, and Content Allies and Fame also work on shows they did not produce. A firm is listed where its own pages offer a named service to grow a client's podcast audience and name at least one client, show, case or attributed testimonial. It is a shortlist without a ranking. Firms that sell advertisers ad space on other people's shows are a different purchase, covered in the guide to what podcast ads cost.

Seventeen podcast promotion services, grouped by what they mainly sell and A to Z within each group, as their own pages described them on October 7, 2026. Results, prices and guarantees are the firms' own claims. "Not published" means not published on the pages read.

Podcast marketing agencies

4 of 17 firms

These firms take on a show that already exists and plan how to grow it. They combine PR, cross-promotion and guesting with paid campaigns or search work. Lower Street and Produce Your Podcast also produce shows.

Lower Street website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
A branded show that needs a growth plan built on PR, cross-promotion and video, with paid media where it fits
Evidence
The Breakout case study (opens in a new tab)

Lower Street's case study on The Breakout, the show hosted by Abbracci Group's chief executive Dr. Keri Ohlrich, reports monthly downloads rising from 257 in April 2023 to 42,412 in May 2023 after a rebrand and a short paid campaign, with a #7 place on the Apple Podcasts charts. On the promotion page, Amelia Martella of Fordham's Corporate Law Center credits a Lower Street growth campaign with a ten-fold increase in listens to its Bite-Sized Business Law podcast.

The service starts with an audit of the show and its audience, then combines podcast PR, feed swaps, pitching the host as a guest on other shows, paid media, podcast SEO guidance and a YouTube strategy. The firm argues against relying on ads alone: "you can't interrupt someone mid-feed and talk them into a 45-minute episode."

Pacific Content, a podcast agency that also sells promotion, says on its promotion page (opens in a new tab) that it now operates as part of Lower Street.

Pearl Lemon website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
A show that mainly needs to be found in Google and podcast app search, from a general SEO agency

Pearl Lemon names no podcast client or podcast SEO result on the pages read: the testimonials and client logos on its podcast SEO page describe its SEO work in general. The London agency's podcast service covers keyword research, category placement, meta tags, content for the show's website and outreach to land guests. The page gives no price.

case studies (opens in a new tab)

PodSpike's case studies describe UK shows reaching the Apple charts, among them The Engineering Edge, which peaked at #5 in Apple UK Technology in a case posted in 2022. In its September 2026 price guide (opens in a new tab), Amy Williams, head of communications at the Academy of Social Sciences, credits the team with "expert advice, guidance and support in marketing our podcast".

The services page (opens in a new tab) covers three stages: optimizing the show's artwork, copy and positioning; launch campaigns with press, newsletter placements and pitches to Apple, Spotify and Amazon; and paid campaigns, from in-app and YouTube ads to host-read ads, cross-promotions and feed drops. The price guide calls the agency "100% supplier independent" and Acast-accredited for paid ads.

Produce Your Podcast website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
An existing show that wants an audit, guest bookings and growth campaigns from a firm that also produces

On the firm's marketing page, Larry Aldrich, co-host of Aqua Talks, says the show's growth was "almost 3,000%" and that some episodes reached nearly 6,000 downloads in two days.

The growth services include a podcast audit, strategy sessions on a specific bottleneck, booking the host as a guest on other podcasts, "data-driven podcast growth marketing campaigns" and short-form social video. A six-month growth program for business podcasts is sold separately.

Headliner website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
A show that wants click-to-play promotion it can start itself, with help on targeting and reporting
Published terms
"No Click? No Charge."

Headliner's Podcast Promo page shows the logos of podcast growth agencies that use it, among them Lower Street, Quill and The Podglomerate, and describes a med-tech show that found more than 2,000 listeners in three days. It places real clips of your episodes on publisher websites matched to your audience; clips play only when a visitor starts them, with a route to a podcast app for continued listening.

You can set a budget and launch the campaign yourself, and Headliner says it will "help handle everything from targeting and placement to reporting". Clips are made from your RSS feed, so plays are reported to your host and in Headliner's dashboard.

Ask first
what counts as a click, what does each one cost, and which parts of the campaign will your team run?

Listen Network website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
A B2B show that must show a budget holder downloads from a defined professional audience
Published terms in October 2026
you choose a minimum download count, typically 250-500 an episode; the first campaign takes up to two weeks to set up

Under the line "Top agencies and networks trust us with their marquee clients", Listen Network's homepage shows agencies including PRX, Quill and its sister company Content Allies, and brands including Meta, Korn Ferry, Zendesk, Siemens and PwC. It sells paid distribution: it targets listeners through LinkedIn and Google Display down to job function, with the example "HR managers at aerospace companies over 1,000 people", and reports who listened by job title, industry and seniority.

Its FAQ says downloads follow the IAB's podcast measurement guidelines and that the service is "top-of-funnel": retention depends on the show. It also says there are "no white-hat methods" to grow Apple or Spotify followers directly and that it does not offer them, though it can grow YouTube subscribers.

mowPod website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
A show that wants a fixed-cost campaign for downloads, listens or followers, managed or self-serve
Published pricing
self-serve campaigns from $100, at $0.90 a download at that level in October 2026; managed campaigns at a fixed cost per outcome, amount not published

Ramsey Solutions, BBC, NerdWallet, Alibaba.com and Industry Dive are among the names on mowPod's homepage, which says the service is "trusted by 500+ shows, with 3.5B+ impressions delivered". It sells managed campaigns with a dedicated team, self-serve boosts, and campaigns for Apple Podcasts and Spotify followers and 20-minute listens.

mowPod says its metrics are IAB-compliant and third-party verified. Paid follower growth is disputed among these networks, so ask how followers are acquired before you buy them.

how are followers and 20-minute listens acquired, and what does the guarantee promise if they fall short?

Rockable website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
A show that wants a managed listener campaign with a published listener-growth guarantee

Artwork from client shows, among them Salesforce's Blazing Trails and Amdocs' Future of Tech, appears on Rockable's homepage. It describes an ad network "built specifically for podcast growth", says one of its growth specialists will schedule a one-on-one consultation, and promises "Guaranteed to drive more listeners or it's free" without stating the terms.

The artwork's file path contains 2020 and the site's footer reads 2023. Neither dates the client relationships, so confirm the service and the guarantee before you rely on them.

Burst lists shows it has "created, produced, published and promoted", among them We Are Unstoppable, Breast Cancer Action and Velocity of Content. It has worked as a podcast agency since 2004, according to its site.

Its promotion work is part of the production service: a launch strategy, metadata for search discovery, help promoting episodes on the client's own website, email and social channels, and a monthly dashboard of downloads and listening.

The plans page (opens in a new tab) includes full-funnel campaign management, paid ads across display, social, video and mobile, ad design with A/B testing, and audience targeting and retargeting.

Caspian says it runs paid campaigns for every episode and manages paid and organic growth from launch. Its FAQ says it reports downloads, email list size and some listener demographics weekly.

Evidence
Meta case study (opens in a new tab)

Content Allies' case study on Meta's Business, Innovation and Technology podcast, which began publishing in August 2021, reports about 170,000 downloads in the first six months of working together and an initial four-month download target exceeded seven times over. The work included paid media campaigns across display and audio ads, guest co-promotion and articles repurposed from each episode.

Its services page splits promotion into two parts. The organic side covers social content, repurposed and search-optimized articles, guest articles that link back to the show and YouTube setup. The advertising side covers pay-per-download campaigns, firmographic data on which companies are listening, ad planning, creative and contextual targeting. Its growth campaigns (opens in a new tab) are "Powered by the Content Allies Listen Network".

Published pricing
service fees of $2,750, $3,500 or $4,500 a month for production and promotion of one, two or four episodes; promotion only for an existing show from $3,000 a month; paid ad budget separate from the fee (October 2026)
Evidence
Zenoti case study (opens in a new tab)

Fame's Zenoti case study reports followers and subscribers for the Growth Diaries podcast rising from 19,000 to 265,000+ across directories, over 18 months by its promotion page's account. The case credits most of that to YouTube, where paid ads on YouTube and mowPod helped the show add 263,700 subscribers and 9.3 million views. Every episode goes through an eight-part promotion cycle: search, organic social, guests, partnerships, paid platforms, paid podcast placements, cold email and assets for the client's own channels.

Its pricing page (opens in a new tab) includes a 10% monthly growth target with a guarantee: "miss it and month seven is free". A show that already exists can buy the promotion cycle on its own from $3,000 a month, or booking the host as a guest on other shows at $2,000 a month with two bookings guaranteed. Longer commitments lower the plan prices.

JAR's case study, published in July 2026, says its work helped Campaign Legal Center nearly double the podcast's unique listeners, grow followers on Apple Podcasts and Spotify 46% and reach No. 3 in Apple Podcasts' U.S. Government category. The work included an organic audience-development strategy and rebuilt audience reporting.

Quill's client page lists a case study on Ledn, which it says passed 100,000 downloads within 10 episodes. On its marketing page, Roxana Esmailji, director of client experience at CIBC, says Quill "multiplied our listener base with a reasonable budget in 6 months" for the CIBC Innovation Banking podcast. Its client list includes shows for Expedia Group, Novo Nordisk and Russell Reynolds Associates.

The marketing service covers an audience growth strategy with KPIs, repurposing into blogs and social posts, analytics reports, media kits for guests and paid podcast advertising campaigns. Quill also reports that clients average 50,000 downloads for their first season, without saying how that is measured.

Resonate Recordings website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
A team that will publish its own promotion and needs clips, transcripts and social assets for each episode
Published pricing
per-episode production at $500-$1,750, with marketing assets as add-ons, or subscriptions at $2,100-$6,500 a month with up to four social assets an episode (October 2026)

Resonate says it has provided content marketing for 3,000+ shows since 2014. Its marketing page also carries a testimonial from Colin Shaw, host of The Intuitive Customer, about the quality of the listener experience.

Its marketing service turns each episode into a transcript, short clips and social assets. Your team approves them and publishes them on LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube Shorts and its blog, so this is support for in-house promotion rather than a campaign Resonate runs for you.

Sweet Fish reports that its work for Kreate reached 165,000+ YouTube views in the first six weeks, and its clients page shows 45,000 podcast downloads in the first three months beside The CFO Show, sponsored by Vena. It says it has produced 450+ shows and shows logos including PandaDoc, Datadog, Mastercard and Atlassian.

Yes& Beacon's podcast page names AppFolio's The Top Floor as client work: two seasons of six episodes each. It publishes no audience result for the show.

The agency, formerly Beacon Digital Marketing, sells podcast services individually or in packages. Its promotion package covers promotional emails and graphics, paid social campaigns, organic social and blog posts, and distribution and syndication support. A separate guest-placement service pitches executives to other podcasts; its outreach is billed hourly.

Not on this list

Other names often grouped with podcast promotion include alternative campaign platforms, freelance marketplaces and services for buying or selling advertising. Upwork and Fiverr are freelance marketplaces. Megaphone supplies hosting and growth tools. AudioGo and Buzzsprout Ads are alternative self-serve campaign platforms for teams that want to run their own promotion. Libsyn Ads, SiriusXM Media and ADOPTER Media mainly sell or arrange advertising on other shows for brands, and True Native Media represents shows for ad sales. StudioPod Media merged into Content Allies, which I founded, by December 2024. Crafted Sound offers promotion services and Big Podcast offers production and consulting, but neither names a client on the pages read. FRQNCY Media supplies promotional cuts and social assets within production, without a separately named promotion service on those pages.

Before you buy downloads

A promotion budget amplifies whatever the show already is. If the show attracts peers who are unlikely to buy from you, paying for more listeners can grow an audience that does little for your business.

I made that mistake myself. In a 2021 episode on planning a B2B podcast, I said "the biggest mistake most people make when launching their podcast is they build a podcast focused on their peers and not their prospects." My own show started that way. Check that the guest list and topics serve your prospective customers before you promote.

Downloads also need checking. We set up Listen Network as a separate company from Content Allies to sell paid promotion. On the Leaders of B2B podcast in December 2024 (opens in a new tab), I explained that we built it "because there's so much sketchy things going on in podcast downloads with mobile incentivized game traffic and all these people doing these questionable things." Whoever you hire, Listen Network included, ask where each download comes from before you count it.

What to settle before you sign

  1. Define the audience and the result

    Write down who must hear the show (job titles, industries, company size) and what the budget holder will judge it on: downloads, followers, listener firmographics, guest relationships or pipeline. A listener campaign and a PR campaign answer different questions. The B2B podcast KPIs guide covers which measures matter.

  2. Fix the show before you scale it

    Promotion works best on a show built for the buyers you want. If the show itself needs work, a podcast consultant or a production company may be the better first hire.

  3. Ask how results are counted

    Ask whether downloads meet the IAB's podcast measurement guidelines, which channels and placements the traffic comes from, and whether you will see listener data by company or role. Ask how followers are acquired before you pay for them.

  4. Read the guarantee and the price on the same terms

    Compare what each firm guarantees (a number of downloads, a growth rate, more listeners), what happens if it misses, the monthly or per-episode price, the minimum commitment and who owns the ad accounts and creative.

For ways to promote episodes through your own channels, see the podcast marketing strategy guide.

  • Which shows like ours have you grown in the past year, and can we speak to one of their teams?
  • Which channels will you use: PR, cross-promotion, guest appearances, paid placements, search or YouTube?
  • How do you count a download or a listener, and will the numbers match our hosting platform's reports?
  • What exactly does your guarantee cover, and what happens if you miss it?
  • What will it cost a month or an episode, what is the minimum term, and what is extra?
  • What will you report, how often, and can we see listeners by company or job title?

How this list was made

Each firm's service, client, case, pricing and FAQ pages were read on October 7, 2026, starting from the firms on the original list and the podcast advertising list merged into it. A firm is listed where its pages offer a named service to grow a client's own podcast audience and name at least one client, show, case or attributed testimonial.
