Podcast Guests = Sponsorship Opportunities

This editorial illustration was created for a blog article titled "Podcasts That Accept Guests Are More Likely to Attract Sponsors." The goal was to visualize the connection between guest participation and potential monetization of a podcast.

Project Goal

• Create an engaging editorial visual for a professional blog • Represent the idea of guest participation and sponsorship metaphorically but clearly • Use a flat style with a hand-drawn touch to keep it friendly and human

Concept

I decided to show two podcast hosts (a woman and a man) recording together at the table, wearing headphones and speaking into microphones. Behind them, stylized coins subtly appear in the background — as a metaphor for the value that guests bring to content.

Use Case

This illustration was designed for a blog post, but it can also be used in: • Email newsletters • Social media posts • Podcasting guides and sponsor pitch decks

Reflection

Working on this piece allowed me to combine editorial storytelling with playful visuals. I aimed to keep it simple yet meaningful, so the message reads instantly, even without text.
