Forever Dog Productions and Amplitude Media Partners Announce Exclusive Sales Partnership to Drive Podcast Growth in 2025
Forever Dog Productions, an independent comedy company, has recently entered into an exclusive sales partnership with Amplitude Media Partners (AMP), a leading media sales organization. This collaboration, set to begin in January 2025, aims to accelerate the growth of Forever Dog’s catalog of hit podcasts within the advertising landscape.
Founded in 2016 by Joe Cilio, Alex Ramsey, and Brett Boham, Forever Dog has built a reputation for producing groundbreaking and sought-after comedic content across various digital platforms. The network currently boasts 15 unique podcasts, with plans for continued expansion. In addition to their Forever Dog lineup of shows, the network partnered with world-renowned drag queens Alaska and Willam in 2019 to launch Moguls of Media (MOM), a queer-focused digital entertainment network that showcases a cast of drag royalty, including Jinkx Monsoon, Maddy Morphosis, and Jaida Essence Hall among others.
MOM has quickly become a major force in queer entertainment, further expanding Forever Dog’s reach and impact. The network’s programming has been enjoyed hundreds of millions of times by listeners around the world, with award-winning shows previously featured on “Best Of” lists in Time, Esquire, Vulture, Cosmopolitan, IndieWire, The AV Club, and more.
The partnership with AMP will empower Forever Dog to focus on what it does best – create highly entertaining, engaging, and forward-thinking podcasts – while leveraging AMP’s expertise to maximize revenue in a rapidly evolving media landscape. AMP will exclusively manage ad sales and sponsorships for Forever Dog’s network, including its flagship programs and future expansions.
“We are thrilled to join forces with Amplitude Media Partners, a company that shares our commitment to championing independent voices and delivering high-quality content,” said Joe Cilio, CEO and co-founder of Forever Dog. “As we continue to grow our roster of shows and expand our reach, AMP’s expertise will help us unlock new revenue opportunities and connect with top-tier advertisers.”
AMP’s track record of success in enhancing the financial success of independent creators aligns with Forever Dog’s vision of empowering diverse talent in the digital entertainment space. “Forever Dog has proven to be an industry force, not just in the comedy genre but across all of podcasting, and we are thrilled to be their exclusive partner with the intention of driving their next phase of growth,” said John Donahue, AMP Managing Partner. “Their roster of innovative and influential shows offers incredible value for advertisers looking to reach highly engaged, culturally relevant audiences.”
In addition to their partnership with AMP, Forever Dog has also been involved in various fundraising efforts, including raising $80,000 for the ACLU with their Drag Is Good fundraiser and serving as the Grand Marshal Sponsor of the ACLU SoCal float featuring Janelle Monáe in the 2023 LA Pride Parade. The network’s commitment to social justice and LGBTQ+ charities reflects its broader mission to foster a more inclusive and supportive media environment.
Forever Dog’s collaboration with Barometer, a leading AI-powered brand integrity and contextual targeting solution for podcast advertising, has also been instrumental in dispelling stereotypes and driving more ad revenue for their creators. By leveraging Barometer’s best-in-class technology, Forever Dog aims to create a more inclusive and fair environment for all creators, including the drag community.
“Creating a more inclusive and fair environment for all creators, including the drag community, is not only morally imperative but also a smart business decision,” said Barometer CEO Tamara Zubatiy. “Diverse and representative content attracts a broader audience and supports a more inclusive society. Addressing this issue is a step towards a more equitable and understanding media landscape.”
With its new partnership with AMP and ongoing efforts to promote diversity and inclusivity, Forever Dog Productions is poised to continue breaking new ground in the digital entertainment space.
