Who’s Listening
How I Tell Stories
I’m a storyteller and cultural explorer who highlights lesser-known narratives and travel experiences. Whether I’m talking with a tour operator, a local craftsman, a museum curator, or a CEO, I find the story that gives a product, service, attraction, or destination its context and shows why people should care. I invite my audience to celebrate heritage, food, and culture, and my work is rooted in discovering new perspectives and embracing diversity.
Why podcast sponsorships work
Podcast listeners take action.
According to Ad Results Media and Edison Research, podcast listeners exposed to ads are 74% more likely to visit a company or product’s website and 65% more likely to purchase a service or product.
I work with brands to create inspirational, engaging, educational, and relatable content. Since I have been podcasting since 2018 and blogging since 2015, my audience trusts my recommendations and values my perspective.
What it’s like working with me:
- Storytelling that makes a destination (and brands) come to life
- Cross-platform integrations beyond the podcast (blog, newsletter, YouTube, social)
- Experience across various types of campaigns from ads to full-featured episodes
- See case studies below
Let’s get your story out there
I create inspirational, educational, and relatable content that connects brands with a growing, engaged customer base. To start a campaign, email thethoughtcard (at) gmail (dot) com.
