Welcome potential Sponsor! We are always interested in promoting products that we truly feel will help our audience. We have many platforms that we can use to promote, such as the Podcasts, Social media platforms, and Newsletters. Since every company and brand is different we do not have standard prices. We make custom packages for every Sponsorship! Reach out to us on thestrugglingscientists@hotmail.com for more information!
For Podcast sponsoring we offer two options:
Audiograms are audio clips of 1-1.5 min long containing a host-read ad. We can explain in this why we love a product. These audiograms are then inserted into every episode of the podcast for a certain amount of time or until a certain amount of listeners has been reached. An example of an audiogram is:
In sponsored episodes we make a whole episode about a certain topic your company is interested in. This can be a topic you have a specialist in that aligns with your company, an interview with a company founder about their journey in Science and what they hope to achieve, or even a more detailed episode about a certain tool and how it can help researchers. These episodes will forever stay on our episode lists and are generally a bit more expensive.
For Social Media, we have a couple of Post options in our packages. We always include posts on both Twitter and Instagram since our content overlaps.
A thread is a well known multi tweet or multi page post that allows for a more detailed explanation of a subject. We can make threads about our experience testing a product/ how we would use it/ a how to/ or about a certain problem that a product can fix. The possibilities are endless
With a Campaign we mean a multiple-post message in a shorter period of time. It usually includes some nice images to get a message across. An example of a Campaign could be 5 ways AI can help researchers with 5 individual posts. These would be posted 1 per day and in certain cases can link back to a blog that contains the full message
Our followers love their memes! And we have had great succes with using memes to illustrate a problem for scientists that a product can fix.
Additional options are
We can write an in-depth Blogpost about the product or about a problem a product can solve. This Blog Post can then be promoted to social media with multiple posts highlighting different parts.
Our Newsletter is a more recent addition to our platform. We can promote your product/the sponsored episode/or the blog post in our newletter.
We love working with Affiliate links, since it gives us more freedom to incorporate the product in our normal posts and blogs and allows for a more long turn promotion.

At this moment (Februari 2023) we have:
~2300-2700 Podcast Listeners/Month
And this number is constantly growing!
The listener age range puts our listeners predominantly in the PhD/Postdoc range and we believe our gender range also reflects that of the academic world.
