I'm Kim Kerton, podcast media professional and all-round passionate human with extensive experience in broadcast, marketing, branded content, content creation, strategy and naturally, podcasting. On the creator side, I'm host and producer of the popular business podcast Unemployed & Afraid, where I explore the glorious chaos that is building businesses (of all levels) with the people doing it. Through the provision of connective stories, relatable lived experience, insights, a touch of humour, and practical learning for business owners, my goal with the Unemployed & Afraid brand is to support 100k business owners to get in, and successfully stay in, business for themselves (and have some fun along the way). On the commercial side, I'm an experienced podcast media strategist, consulting with brands, marketers and business owners who want to connect with audiences through owned podcast platforms. Through strategic concept development, podcast media education, growth auditing and 1:1 support in the building of brand-led podcast media, I instill deep podcast knowledge and brand aligned concepts that stand out in-market, achieve business outcomes, and connect deeply with a dream audience for every brand I partner with. It's my unique combination of extensive commercial acumen, knowledge of audio media and brand-led content marketing after 13 years in broadcast, plus hands-on experience as a podcast creator, marketer and business owner, that makes me a powerful partner and guide for your brand-owned podcast journey.There's loads of ways we could work together - if not on the creation of your own brand-led podcast show or network, you might like to have me speak at your event (or write for your publication) about the exciting business of podcasting or the intersection of personal growth and entrepreneurship.Or, you might like to partner with me to reach and support hard-working SMEs through the Unemployed & Afraid podcast, as a brand partner or potential guest. Maybe you'd like me to host your podcast? (I'm quite good at that as you'll hear). Or perhaps you just like the way I think about podcasting and its role in holistic brand building, or the experience of entrepreneurship - poke around, get in touch, and let’s see how we can work together.
