Podcast production for influential brandscorporationspeopleleaders

Doug Downs and his team at Stories and Strategies have been wonderful to work with on The Speak Good Podcast. Not only are they experts in audio and video production but we get some terrific marketing insights to help us grow the podcast. They get what we’re trying to do with this content and help us create a very positive image for the brand.

The team at Stories and Strategies are true professionals in their craft. They’re patient, knowledgeable, and work hard to not only make the service and product a success but to add that personal touch. I knew my subject matter but was new to podcasting. Doug took the time to make it a wonderful experience.

Stories and Strategies has given us the courage and support to not only launch our own podcast, but GROW our brand using incredible podcast-specific analytics. We always tell Doug to “make us sound good”, and he does just that — without fail. We are really grateful for his reciprocal business ethic and honesty.

Doug Downs and Emily and the team at Stories and Strategies have worked with Utility Safety Partners on The Safety Moment Podcast. Their team led the strategy to grow the podcast’s following and supported a successful rebrand from its original name, The Prairie Podcast, to The Safety Moment several years ago. Throughout the engagement, their work has been professional and well organized, with a clear focus on audience growth and consistency. We would recommend Stories and Strategies to organizations looking to strengthen and scale their podcast presence.

Doug Downs, Emily Page, and the team at Stories and Strategies worked with the Ontario Pay Equity Commission on two podcast series – Level the Paying Field. Across both projects, the work was professional and well organized, and Doug and Emily connected well with our team throughout the process. In the second series, their strategy contributed to a substantial increase in followers, along with growth in downloads. We would recommend Stories and Strategies to organizations looking for experienced podcast production support.

Doug, Emily and the team at Stories and Strategies have worked with RE/MAX Hallmark for the past four years, beginning with the Realty Life podcast. Since launch, the podcast has grown successfully within its target market. As a result of that success, RE/MAX Hallmark now produces three podcasts with Stories and Strategies and is actively encouraging its Realtors to develop more. We would recommend Stories and Strategies to organizations looking to build and expand a podcast presence.

I’ve spent my career inside the podcast industry, selling ads, running listening platforms, leading creator tools, and advising networks of all sizes. I’ve guested on close to a hundred shows. But when it came time to finally launch my own podcast, Podcast Network Insights, there was really only one team I wanted to work with. Doug, Emily and the crew at Stories and Strategies were my first call, and honestly, they’ve exceeded every expectation. They bring the same strategic thinking and production quality to my show that I’ve seen them deliver for clients across the industry. I couldn’t be happier with the partnership, and I’d recommend them to anyone serious about doing podcasting right.

My personal brand means a lot to me because I know it helps people. When I decided to launch the You Are More podcast, I needed a team that would treat my story and my audience with the same care I do. Emily and Doug at Stories and Strategies have been exactly that team. They understand that this isn’t just content. It’s deeply personal, and they handle every detail with professionalism, sensitivity, and real creative vision. From production to strategy, they’ve helped me build something I’m truly proud of, and I wouldn’t trust my brand with anyone else.
