Octant Media

You built the audience. The hard part is done.

Independent security media, professionally represented.

We represent the podcasts and newsletters security practitioners actually read. Published rates, audience figures explained in full.

Get started How it works

For properties

You make the show. We sell the ads.

Most independent security shows have a real audience and empty ad inventory.

Exclusive representation, fixed term
We run the pitching, negotiation and invoicing
You approve every advertiser
You keep the majority of every dollar

It costs nothing to start.

For advertisers

The audiences ad platforms can't reach.

Security practitioners are the hardest B2B audience to reach with paid media — and the most expensive.

64% lower

Cost per qualified lead from niche creators, against paid media

Search ads run up to $187 for one click — a single visitor, before they read a word. We cost a fraction of that
A sponsorship reaches the whole measured audience
Rates published up front — no auction, no bidding against yourself
One invoice, however many placements

How it works

Representation

One agreement, one term. We become the only people selling ads on your show, and nothing changes about how you make it.

Placement

We take your audience to security companies who want to reach it, at prices we publish up front. You approve anyone before they run.

Payment

We handle the paperwork and chase the invoice. Your share arrives on a set schedule, every time.

Methodology

Audience numbers you can check.

A download, a Spotify play and a YouTube view are three different events, measured three different ways. Summing them produces a number that describes nothing.

What each source actually counts

Source

Unit

What it actually counts

RSS & podcast appsDownload

A file request — delivery, not playback. Apple pre-downloads automatically; roughly 13% are never played.

SpotifyPlay

Thirty seconds or more, deduplicated per account. A resumed episode counts twice.

YouTubeView

Roughly thirty seconds. The methodology has never been disclosed.

We report each source separately, name the standard behind it, and price against the one you are buying.

Roster

Roster in formation.

Octant is signing its founding properties now. If you publish a cybersecurity podcast or newsletter and your inventory is unsold, we should talk.
