Subject: Notion x Tech & Founder Weekly — Saw your 10x renewal on Lenny's Podcast & Newsletter ($39 CPM 3-Flight Pilot) Hi Notion Partnerships Team (Global Creator Marketing Lead), I track verified sponsorship renewals across Workspace & AI Productivity via SponsorRadar, and noticed Notion has run 10 verified flights on Lenny's Podcast & Newsletter (notion.com/lenny | code: LENNY) at an estimated ~$72 CPM. Because multi-flight renewals signal strong promo-code and vanity-URL conversion with Workspace & AI Productivity buyers, I wanted to share an high-intent audience arbitrage opportunity with Tech & Founder Weekly: • Verified Reach: 75,000 active subscribers/listeners per release • Audience Fit: High concentration of B2B / Prosumer SaaS decision-makers & technical buyers • De-Risked 3-Flight Pilot: 3x 60-second Host-Read Mid-Rolls + Dedicated Vanity Slug (notion.so/techfounde) + Custom Promo Code • Pilot Rate: $8,712 total for 3 flights ($39 effective CPM — 15% below category benchmark of $52 CPM) • Conversion Guarantee: If your vanity URL doesn't hit your baseline click-through benchmark across the first 3 flights, we run a 4th make-good insertion free. Worth a quick 10-minute look at our Q4/Q1 attribution deck this Thursday? Best, [Your Name] Tech & Founder Weekly • Verified via SponsorRadar Intelligence
