Starting or Growing an Audio Programme
As an audio production house, our focus is on creating an audio product of the highest quality. But our services extend beyond production: we are also able to work with you in developing your audio strategy and in selecting your titles. Considerations such as scale of the programme, title selection, target audience (are you seeking to inform, educate or entertain?), distribution and marketing all need to be taken into account.
Pricing
Our pricing is highly competitive and takes into account the scale of your audio programme, the preparation and research required and the types of voices. There is also the option to discuss co-productions under our imprint, Rhetorica.
Planning and Preparation
Our objective is to ensure that your audio programme flows seamlessly and that requires planning and preparation. Before we even start the production process, we will work with you to decide on scheduling and the factors that determine your audio identity such as wording for front and back annos and the types of voices most appropriate for the genres of books or types of articles you publish. In addition, naming protocols and the file requirements of your distribution channels will also be discussed. Finally, we will discuss your marketing and promotion efforts to ensure we align all our messaging with yours.
