Services & fees · Seaford, NY

a pitch sent is worth nothing. a conversation secured is the only thing worth paying for.

So it’s the only thing we charge for. Every Kettlequill campaign is priced by the interviews that actually happen — four, five or six — and everything that makes those interviews worth having is folded into one flat fee: the research, the brief, the kit, the clips.

The full-steep column is tinted because it’s the one most founders choose. Ready to pick one? The three steeps are just below.

Three steeps

By the piece

for founders between campaigns, or already booked on their own

Some arrive with an interview already in the diary and simply want to walk in prepared. These are the pieces most often asked for alone — the same craft as a campaign, priced by the item, invoiced on delivery.

  • the talking-point brief$290per recording

    For a show you booked yourself. Two pages on the host and their listeners, three stories phrased in your words, and the question you’d rather not be asked — with a calm way through it.

    request a brief
  • the media kit$1,140

    Written and designed, delivered as a PDF and a shareable page in about ten working days. Hosts can lift from it directly into their show notes.

    commission a kit
  • the show audit$680

    Twenty-five programmes in your category, ranked, with a paragraph on each host and who genuinely listens — so you know where to aim before anyone pitches.

    order an audit
  • the mock interview$485

    Forty-five minutes in the chair with one of us playing a sharp, curious host. Recorded, then returned with written notes on pace, stories and the answers that ran long.

    book a rehearsal
  • the clip pack$340three cuts

    Three captioned vertical cuts from any episode you’ve already recorded, ours or not, colour-matched and ready for LinkedIn.

The footnotes

the fine print, set in the same type as everything else

not for sale, at any price

  • Paid placements or sponsored segments dressed up as interviews
  • Guaranteed download numbers
  • Blast lists sent to a thousand hosts at once
  • A promise of any one particular show

  1. Footnote one, personal pitching: Pitching isn’t sold on its own. We’re paid for conversations that happen; putting a price on the pitch would quietly reward us for sending more of them.

    back to the ledger

  2. Footnote two, secured interviews: An interview counts toward your steep once it has been recorded. If a show cancels, or the episode hasn’t aired within 90 days of recording, we rebook from your approved list at no added fee.

    back to the ledger

  3. Footnote three, captioned clips: Clips are yours to post, re-cut and keep — delivered in 9:16 and 1:1, captions burned in, with a separate caption file for your own editor.

    back to the ledger

  4. Footnote four, weeks on the circuit: Weeks are estimates; hosts keep their own calendars. We keep pitching until your count is met, and the fee doesn’t move if it takes a little longer.

    back to the ledger

  5. Footnote five, the flat fee: Half the fee is invoiced at kickoff, the balance once your third interview is secured. Settled by ACH, wire or card — never a per-pitch or per-show charge.
