Traditional podcast networks have been built upon taking ownership or derivatives rights to a creators work. We do things differently here and have adapted our business model to let you own what you create.

Kids/Family podcasts have historically been a challenging content category to sell advertising against for many reasons. Brand safety & compliance, growth & scale, strategic partnerships and more are all independent challenges. The Collective is the first to provide you with them all.

Brand Safety & Compliance
Most networks rely on programmatic ads to monetize. This method introduces your content into a world of risk, as these programmatic ads may not be family-friendly or COPPA compliant. Our industry leading technology and independent server provides you the assurance you and your listeners need.

Growth & Scale
Our strategy to grow your show is unlike any other network. Most networks stop at co-promotional spots with other podcasts, but we go much further. Together with our media and retail partners, your show will receive significant promotional investment toward its growth and scale, which improves your opportunities for brand deals and premium ad placements.

Strategic Partnerships
As momentum accelerates in the Kids/Family podcast industry, several new networks have begun. This is a great sign for you as a kids audio creator, but unfortunately many of these networks will be unable to monetize your content. Selling Kids/Family content to advertisers is not easy and takes may key players. That’s why we have partnered with iHeartMedia to make sure your content is in the hands of the best premium media sellers in the industry.
But we don’t stop there. Our partnerships extend to publishers, toy companies and more who are looking for the best new kids IP.

As creators in kids audio, our biggest challenge is the screen. How does our content complete against video streaming apps when over 90% of listening happens on a screened device?

Storybutton reinvents the radio for kids. Giving them access to on-demand content streaming without any fees or subscriptions. Just like kids can watch unlimited videos on YouTube without a subscription, we’ve designed Storybutton to be the device made exclusively for unlimited audio content streaming for kids.

Storybutton was designed with podcasters in mind. Every play counts as a download in your metrics, which expands your earnings potential.
