Sponsor The Retail Brief
What a partnership includes
Sponsored audio segment
Supply a 20-30 second spot — we place it inside the episode player, labelled as a sponsored segment, with your own click-through link.
Presenting partner credit
"Presented by" branding on the episode page, in the archive card and in the episode description of the podcast feed.
Editorial adjacency
Your message sits next to the newsroom's own reporting on the retail, e-commerce and consumer stories moving Asia that morning.
Evergreen distribution
Episodes stay live in the archive and RSS feed, so a single placement keeps working long after the day it aired.

Questions
- Who produces the audio?
- You can supply a finished MP3, or our team can script and narrate the segment in the same voice and pacing as the briefing so it never feels bolted on.
- How is sponsorship disclosed?
- Every partner placement carries a visible "Sponsored segment" or "Presented by" label, and outbound links use sponsored attributes. Editorial content is never for sale.
- What reporting do I get?
- Episode plays, segment completion, page views and click-throughs on your branded link, delivered per campaign.
- How far ahead do I need to book?
- Single episodes can go live within 48 hours of receiving assets. Weekly and quarterly packages are scheduled in advance around the editorial calendar.
