The Cue Method

Setting the new standard for modern brand storytelling.

Our Approach

Time to make your narrative educate, inform, & entertain?
This is how it's done...

01 / Discovery

Getting to Know Your Brand & Vision.

When you sit down with us, you're not just discussing ideas. You're starting a creative journey. And the first thing we’ll do is listen to your brand’s story, values, and goals to brainstorm and develop initial concepts and themes.

02 / Research

Finding Your Niche & Identifying Opportunities.

When you sit down with us, you're not just discussing ideas. You're starting a creative journey. And the first thing we’ll do is listen to your brand’s story, values, and goals to brainstorm and develop initial concepts and themes.

03 / Creative

Crafting Your Show’s Identity.

This stage is where we’ll collaboratively work together to develop the right podcast format for you and your brand. And it’s where you’ll start to see your ideas come to life.

So, we’ll start by mapping out the themes and topics that will become the premise of your show. We’ll then find the right episode structure and length, and which hosting style is most appropriate (i.e. solo, co-hosted, interview, or roundtable).

04 / Pre-Production

Laying the Foundation.

Pre-production involves meticulous groundwork. Our experts work on script development, guest selection, and content organisation. This phase ensures that each episode is meticulously crafted and aligns perfectly with your brand's voice and message.

05 / Production

Bringing Your Podcast to Life.

Whether in the studio, on-site or remotely, our seasoned professionals handle the recording process, capturing high-quality audio that reflects your brand's authenticity. We ensure a seamless experience, making sure your podcast comes alive with each spoken word.

06 / Post-Production

Polishing Your Episodes.

Once we’ve wrapped up the recording for each episode, and everyone’s satisfied with how it went, your producer will take the raw audio files and edit them into final versions. Not only will this include audio mixing and mastering, but also expert sound design and quality enhancements.

The end result will be world-class audio that sounds professional, feels great, and delivers an immersive listening experience to your audience.

07 / Publishing & Distribution

Sharing Your Message with the World.

With everything fine-tuned, quality-checked, and approved by you, your podcast is ready to be shared with the world. And instead of simply passing you the audio files, we'll handle the technical aspects.

So, we’ll publish and distribute them to all major listening platforms using our own, super-fast hosting platform (Podcast.co). We’ll also optimise each episode’s metadata, helping them reach listeners seamlessly.

08 / Promotion & Marketing

Helping You Reach More Listeners.

Promotion is key to gaining traction. And after your show launches, we’ll help maximise your success with a tailored marketing strategy across social channels, web content, and email.

Depending on your needs and preferences, this could include audiograms, social posts, blog posts, paid ad campaigns, and more.

09 / Analytics & Insight

Understanding Your Impact.

Lastly, we’ll send you weekly analytical insight reports to let you know how your podcast is performing. This will allow you to see which of your episodes are proving most popular, helping you to understand your audience's content preferences and listening behaviours.

With this data, we’ll then be able to double down on the things that work and fine-tune any future content to suit.
