Subject: Vanta x Tech & Founder Weekly — Saw your 13x renewal on Lenny's Podcast & Newsletter ($52 CPM 3-Flight Pilot) Hi Vanta Partnerships Team (Director of Demand Gen & Audio), I track verified sponsorship renewals across Security & Compliance (SOC 2) via SponsorRadar, and noticed Vanta has run 13 verified flights on Lenny's Podcast & Newsletter (vanta.com/lenny | code: LENNY) at an estimated ~$72 CPM. Because multi-flight renewals signal strong promo-code and vanity-URL conversion with Security & Compliance (SOC 2) 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 Security decision-makers & technical buyers • De-Risked 3-Flight Pilot: 3x 60-second Host-Read Mid-Rolls + Dedicated Vanity Slug (vanta.com/techfounde) + Custom Promo Code • Pilot Rate: $11,682 total for 3 flights ($52 effective CPM — 15% below category benchmark of $69 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
