Sponsor the Most-Watched Podcast in Franchising
Reach the decision-makers behind the next generation of franchise brands. If your product or service helps franchisors scale, this is where your message belongs.
Why Sponsor the Podcast?
We’re not just a podcast. We’re the platform franchisors trust.
Emerging Franchise Brands is the #1 most-watched franchisor podcast on YouTube—hosted by Frank Fiume, the founder of i9 Sports® and a pioneer in the franchise world. With 15,000+ subscribers, 500,000+ views, and new founders tuning in every week, our audience isn’t casual—they’re committed, curious, and in build mode.
Sponsoring the show puts your brand directly in front of:
- Growth-stage founders actively investing in their brand
- Emerging franchisors who are scaling fast
- Serious franchise buyers looking for trusted partners
- Suppliers and industry leaders seeking game-changing solutions
And because we limit the number of sponsors, your message doesn’t get lost—it stands out.
