Partnerships — Conversations with Roberto
Partners & Sponsors

We don't sell ad space.
We create shared experiences.

A select number of brands partner with us each season — not to advertise, but to be part of conversations that stay with people long after the episode ends.

This is not advertising. This is alignment.

How We Think About Partnerships
Alignment, not advertising.
Most sponsorships interrupt content. Ours are woven into it.
01

Curated, not crowded

One partner per industry, per season. No competing voices. No banner ads, no pre-roll interruptions. Each partner is chosen for genuine alignment.

02

Alignment, not advertising

Your brand sits alongside conversations featuring guests from Apple, BMW, Reebok, and Nike. That context transfers. It's not reach. It's resonance.

03

Long-term, not transactional

We build relationships with our partners the same way we build them with our guests. With depth, mutual respect, and a shared vision for what design can do.

04

Your brand becomes part of the story

Every partnership is structured so your brand is woven into the narrative — who you are, what you stand for, and why it matters to the design community.

The Partnership Experience
What you get isn't a media buy.
It's a partnership.
Every partnership is tailored, but here's the foundation.

Your story, woven into the conversation

A crafted narrative moment in each episode that connects your brand's values to the guest and the themes we explore. Not a script read. A genuine thread.

Co-branded content for your channels

Each conversation generates short-form clips and visual content — co-branded and designed for social. Every piece is yours to use across your own platforms too.

A seat at the table

Partners are welcomed into the world of each episode — from on-location recordings to the relationships that form around them. You're not sponsoring from a distance.

Relationships that stay open

Our guests don't disappear after recording. Many become ongoing collaborators and mentors. As a partner, you're part of that circle — connected to founders, designers, and executives building what's next.

The Network

Your brand joins conversations with the most influential voices in design and innovation.

let's have a conversation.

We partner with a small number of brands each season. No pitch deck. No pressure. Just a conversation about whether there's genuine alignment.
