The Essentials

Everything you need to start booking podcasts—without the retainer.

The Essentials is designed for solopreneurs and small businesses who are ready to step into the podcast arena with confidence. It’s the perfect fit if you or your team have the capacity to pitch in-house but need the strategy, positioning, and assets that set you up for long-term success.

This hybrid consulting + strategy package gives you everything you’d receive as one of our high-level retainer clients—without the monthly commitment. We equip you with a crystal-clear podcast strategy, an expertly crafted pitch, and a curated list of targeted shows so that all you (or your assistant) need to do is send the emails and start scheduling opportunities.

You’ll also receive free access to The Podcast Tour Academy, where we teach you how to manage podcast pitching in-house, turning your team into a powerful PR engine.

“Partnering with Scout's Agency to develop a Podcast Tour strategy for Burnt Out to Lit Up has been a transformative move for my mission. I wanted to reach new audiences to share my insights, message, and passion for rejuvenating leadership. Scout Agency's step-by-step plan with The Essentials has been a game-changer. They guided me through their proven pitch method, empowering me to showcase my expertise confidently. Thanks to their support, I've secured several interviews with podcasts that were not on my radar, connecting with new audiences and ideal readers.”
