Delivery · Reporting · LearningI'm Aaron, the founder of Earned Works. I'm building a sponsorship service around a simple idea: a relevant audience and a well-considered partnership are worth more than reach alone.
Our starting point is independent media serving gym and studio operators. We're currently getting to know publishers and brands, qualifying audience fit, and shaping the first partnerships.
Independent newsletters and podcasts reaching gym and studio operators, and brands with relevant software, equipment, education, or services for those businesses. We start with audience fit, including role and geography.
We're currently speaking with founding publishers. We present placements as bookable only after confirming availability and receiving the publisher's written authorization.
Publisher pilot terms and advertiser campaign budgets are agreed individually. A proposal will identify the scope, placements, pricing, and responsibilities before anyone commits.
Yes. A pilot can cover selected inventory and new opportunities, with existing advertiser relationships and other exclusions documented before work begins.
If you're a brand, share who you want to reach and your campaign timing. If you're a publisher, share your publication, audience, and what kind of sponsorship support would help.
A useful first conversation starts with what you're building and who you want to reach.
