Podcasts are “like licorice. Not everybody likes licorice, but the people who like licorice really like licorice.” 
― Jerry Garcia (not the famous one)

We are so hyped for C2E2 that we decided to create our own fan event - Chicago Podcasters Unite! What can you expect - 6 hours of live podcasts, live music, interviews with artists from C2E2, live music played by Time Crash (Chicago’s very own Doctor Who tribute band), and much more. Plus C2E2 is giving us passes and other swag to give away!

We are offering the opportunity for businesses to reach the C2E2 audience through this unique event focused directly on the podcast fan via advertising and/or as an event sponsor.

The many benefits of sponsoring the festival: 

·   Social Responsibility– Brands that sponsor this festival are demonstrating that they support the geek community, one that has often been marginalized yet makes up an enormous demographic.  Supporting the Chicago Podcasters Unite LIVE delivers the message that your brand cares about the geek community, their passions, their ideas, and their place on the cultural landscape.

·   Increase Brand Awareness – As any marketer knows, brand awareness is key to obtaining and retaining customers. Event sponsorship is a very effective way to accomplish this by showing support of the customer’s passions.

·   Lots of ways to sponsor– Through on-stage and floor banners, programs, show sponsorship, and more; we have many ways to sponsor at different levels that will fit most budgets.

Let us promote your show to people who love podcasts and C2E2!

Are you interested in this opportunity?
