Challenge
Curt Mercadante was already a believer in the power of podcasting. As host of Freedom Club Podcast and founder of the Freedom Media Network, he knew what the platform could do.
But launching a book was different. The Five Pillars of the Freedom Lifestyle needed immediate traction, national reach, and strategic placements to drive real buyer action – not just content.
Curt needed a partner to amplify the right message, on the right shows, to the right audience.
Solution
We deployed a 2-phase podcast PR campaign for Curt: the first focused entirely on achieving Amazon Best Seller status, and the second shifted into strategic positioning for his evolving brand.
Across 24+ shows, we placed Curt in front of high-intent personal development, entrepreneurial, and freedom-focused audiences – reinforcing his expertise and energizing his message.
The result? Bestseller credibility, renewed visibility, and momentum that continues to drive his coaching business forward.

“I got Amazon Best Seller status - one of the reasons, absolutely, was this Podcast PR program. Without hesitation, I recommend the team at Command Your Brand.”
Why It Matters
Curt wasn’t new to podcasting – but this time, he wanted results.

Work With Us
If you’re a speaker, author, or coach with a message that moves people – let’s get it heard on the right stage.
At Command Your Brand, we engineer strategic podcast visibility that turns reputation into revenue and stories into authority.
The Real Value of Podcast Visibility
This isn’t a one-minute ad. It’s thirty minutes of stage time where you’re the authority.
To quantify that, we compare it to standard podcast advertising rates. A 60-second ad typically runs $25 per 1,000 listeners.
If a show reaches 30,000 listeners, that’s $750 for a single ad.
Now extend that across a 30-minute featured interview.
That airtime is worth $22,500 by ad standards — but instead of a commercial, the episode is about you.
Apple Podcasts data shows listeners stay for 80% or more of each episode. That means they’re hearing your story, your message, and your offer.
This is visibility with gravity. Presence that builds trust.
And value that compounds long after the episode ends.
That’s authority, trust, and time working together to create real ROI.
