WHAT:
You are invited to participate in a bi-weekly podcast produced by Shoemaker Films, LLC. This will be a LIVE, in-person event that will be both recorded (audio) and filmed (video) on a monthly basis. We are tentatively scheduled to do one day (either a Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday) each month between 8am-12pm at the Willows Mansion (490 Darby Paoli Rd, Villanova, PA 19085) in a 45-minute time slot (total runtime for each episode will be about 20 minutes). The format will be an interview with Dane and Morgan Shoemaker and guests, diving into details about their business. The whole, 20-minute episode will be distributed across digital platforms (YouTube, Podcast streaming services) as well as 15-30 second segments distributed via social media (via short-form video). We will schedule 3-4 businesses per recording session each month and plan to release it bi-weekly.
WHY:
This is an opportunity to showcase your business, non-profit, or organization, to demonstrate authority and knowledge within your industry, and reach potentially new audiences. Taking advantage of this new media platform allows potential customers to get an “inside” view and learn more about your business. Podcasts (and short form video) are one of the most popular media formats right now and this will allow your business to stay top of mind in the local market, provide content for your own social media channels and/or website, and increase your brand’s reach. This is 100% free. We benefit from the opportunity to meet and engage 1:1 with local business owners, learn about different industries and their challenges, while generating awareness for our own company as well as creating content that helps both our organizations grow.
WHEN:
Dates TBD, but this will be produced monthly on a single scheduled day (either a Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday between 8am-1pm). If your business cannot accommodate this time we may look to do an evening or weekend session.
TOPICS DISCUSSED:
This will be a simple interview, and questions will generally follow this format:
- Introductions – The who/what/why/how of your business
- How you got started and what makes your business different/unique
- Current industry trends/challenges/opportunities
- Things you’ve learned in your business that might help other businesses
- Something your audience/clients/prospective clients might find valuable
- Anything you might want to promote (specific topic, upcoming event, product launch, etc.)
WHO:
This podcast will be open to any businesses, entrepreneurs, non-profits, politicians, and local movers and shakers who want to promote their business or share their story.
