Vanta
Case study · Network-wide sponsorship

Eleven months, five shows, two newsletters — the deepest sponsor relationship on the network.

Vanta needed to be the default answer on security and compliance for Australian founders — the moment their first enterprise customer asks for proof of controls. Cold ads were getting expensive in a category where the buyer needs context, not impressions.

01 · The brief

One category, five shows, not one

Rather than buy a single show, Vanta took a cross-network campaign across First Cheque, In the Blink of AI, Pick My Brain, FintechFun and Oversubscribed — so the same brand turned up in four different corners of the ecosystem. They've sponsored since June 2024 and are still running. One campaign booked for sixteen episodes ran to twenty-one.

02 · The approach

Native reads, trackable everywhere

  • Native reads woven into high-engagement conversations — never treated as filler.
  • Targeted distribution across the ANZ founder and operator ecosystem, to 35,000+ monthly listeners at the time of the campaign.
  • Cross-channel surfacing across audio, YouTube, LinkedIn and show notes, with trackable CTAs per integration.
  • 171 referrals from three Oversubscribed episodes alone, January 2026.
03 · The results

Reach that renews, and pipeline that moves

171 referrals from three Oversubscribed episodes — 57 per episode, a tracked-link count, not an estimate. Vanta's own monthly check-ins add 44 website referrals and 3 conversions in September 2025, and three to five confirmed sales on Oversubscribed in January 2026. Running since June 2024 with season-two agreements already in place: a multi-quarter commitment, not a one-off test.

"For nearly two years, we've partnered with Day One across shows like First Cheque, In the Blink of AI, and more recently, Oversubscribed. Their collaborative, hands-on approach has made each campaign seamless and effective, strengthening our brand visibility and credibility across the startup community."
