Facilities:
Transition to Digital: Initially, The Wave Podcasting operated both in-person with a Los Angeles-based studio and online, offering versatile podcast production solutions. In 2022, we transitioned to a fully online model to better serve our global clientele. This shift has not only broadened our reach but also enhanced our operational flexibility and efficiency.
Online Presence & Reach: Our robust content marketing strategy has significantly amplified our online visibility. The Wave Podcasting now garners approximately 78,000 web impressions monthly. Our SEO expertise has secured an average search position of 37 across various key terms, with many of our articles consistently ranking on the first page of Google, driving organic traffic and increasing our market influence.
Team Composition: The Wave Podcasting is powered by a dynamic team of nine dedicated female-identifying contractors who specialize in different aspects of podcast production:
- Head of Production: Oversees all production elements to ensure seamless operations and top-quality output.
- Video Editors (2): Skilled in crafting visually compelling content, enhancing the viewer experience.

Barriers to Entry:
Distinctive Market Positioning: One significant barrier to entry in the podcast production industry is differentiation. Many agencies offer similar services, making it challenging to stand out.

This unique positioning has helped us secure a loyal client base, making it difficult for new entrants to sway our customers.
