Services
Below is a list of Tumble Media Consulting Services. We will provide notice by email if we are close to the time allotted within the package, and make suggestions of how to prioritize work towards our goal.
Full initial Consultation
Deciding whether to make a kids’ podcast? We’ll give you the knowledge and decision-making tools to steer you in the right direction. With a data-backed presentation of the kids’ podcast space and audience, we’ll help you evaluate the specific opportunities for your podcast. We’ll go over the basics of podcast monetization, and focus on principles for audio-first storytelling and production. We’ll also have time for questions. The goal of this call is to give you the information you need to make an informed decision about whether to move forward with podcasting.
Fast Track Development package
Ready to get started? This package gets your podcast off the ground and ready for production. After a two hour kickoff meeting, we’ll meet for an hour on a weekly basis to guide you through the process of developing your podcast from concept to ready for production. This will include strategizing the podcast to fit within your goals and budget, designing an outline for a show that will engage both kids and adults, and creating a plan for production.
Slow Burn Development
The “slow burn” takes the above process on a more relaxed timeline, and can be stretched out or compressed as needed.
Podcast Production
If we decide to work together on producing the podcast, budget will be determined in the development process. If we determine that the project is best served by other production partners, we will provide two personal recommendations as part of the development process.
Hourly-as-needed conversation - outside packages
Looking for industry advice? Want someone knowledgeable to brainstorm ideas with you? Seeking feedback on a specific project that’s already in the works? You can book time on a one off-basis.
