Our roots are strong

Soundrise was born from the podcast division of Market Enginuity, the leader in public media sponsorship sales for over 20 years, representing some of the most iconic stations in the country.

Since 2017 we’ve supported PRX – home to Radiotopia, distributor of critically-acclaimed award-winning shows like Ear Hustle, Snap Judgment, Reveal and This American Life, and partner to Radiotopia and Condé Nast.

Our passion drives us

We believe in protecting the noncommercial nature of inspiring, independent media and fueling it forward. Our sponsors are marketers from leading organizations that share consumer values and appreciate stories that open eyes, change perspectives, and shape worlds. We’re experts at partnering mission-driven organizations with sponsors who appreciate the power of creativity, diversity, and the listener community.

Our principles make us unique

Inspired by our roots in public media, we have a deep respect for production quality and creative autonomy. Soundrise represents a new model for creators – one with sustainable revenue growth without the pressure to conform to the standards of commercial media companies.

Independent Together is our rallying cry. We are champions of creative energy uniting for a common cause – an alliance of a thriving creative class of independent storytellers.
