Resonate Recordings

What Resonate Recordings does

Resonate Recordings is a full-service podcast production agency founded in 2014 and headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. The company operates a strategy-first model in which client engagements begin with a discovery call and a structured readiness assessment, then proceed through a proprietary twelve-year-refined launch framework called PodLaunch® that covers audience definition, positioning, production, distribution, and the first ninety days of growth. Resonate produces, edits, masters, and distributes podcasts for a client base that includes Fortune 500 enterprises such as Amazon, Salesforce, Honda, Mars, AbbVie, Citi, and EA Sports, alongside non-profits and SMBs. The agency has produced over 3,000 shows and 50,000 episodes and reports that 95% of clients running the full PodLaunch® framework reach the Top 100 of their Apple Podcasts category at launch.

The underlying technology is built around the Resonate App, a cloud-based SaaS platform hosted at app.resonaterecordings.com, which manages episode submission, revision requests, approval workflows, asset delivery, and payment processing. Clients receive 1-click integrations with third-party hosting platforms including Libsyn, PodBean, and Buzzsprout, while Resonate's own hosting distribution reaches Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, and iHeartRadio. Supporting tools include a free browser-based Online Voice Recorder that captures uncompressed WAV audio locally and a Podcast Readiness Assessment lead-generation tool. The tech stack does not include any disclosed AI/ML components, public APIs, or SDKs.

Resonate generates revenue primarily through monthly subscriptions that bundle launch services with ongoing production, hosting, marketing, and management. Tiered pricing structures (Basic, Plus, Pro, Custom) determine turnaround times (3–5+ business days) and revision allowances, with add-on fees for rush requests, additional revisions, RAW file overages, show-notes overages, posting assistance, and creative content services such as cover art and voiceover. Sales are conducted via a sales-led GTM motion gated by 30-minute discovery calls with Podcast Growth Specialists, supported by content marketing (blog, eBooks, newsletter), a free assessment tool, and a presence on LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Pinterest. Resonate is privately held as Resonate Recordings LLC, has raised $250,000 from Access Ventures (March 2021), and operates with 11–50 employees.

Direct peers

• Podfly: Full-service podcast production agency with end-to-end launch, editing and strategy services. Comparable to Resonate in workflow, customer segments and recurring production model.

• Lower Street: B2B podcast production agency producing branded podcasts for enterprise and SaaS clients. Closely aligned with Resonate in business model, end-to-end production scope, and target buyer.
• Content Allies: B2B podcast production agency serving enterprise brands. Resonate was listed alongside Content Allies in the 2026 Top 10 B2B Podcast Agencies for Enterprise Brands ranking, making it a near-direct comparable on positioning and customer profile.
• Pacific Content: Branded podcast production agency that produces shows for large media companies and enterprise brands. Directly comparable to Resonate's enterprise branded podcast offering, with overlapping customer profile.

Broad incumbents

• Casted: B2B podcast marketing and analytics platform extending into production services. Comparable to Resonate on enterprise B2B podcast marketing, though Casted's center of gravity is SaaS tooling rather than services-led production.

Relevant to Resonate because Spotify is both a downstream distribution channel and an increasingly vertically integrated potential competitor for enterprise podcast work.
• Lemonlight: Video and podcast production company serving enterprise and SMB with subscription packages. Overlaps with Resonate on enterprise podcast production but operates more broadly across video formats.
