Why Matière

the trust of a creator. guaranteed reach.

Podcasts, YouTube videos, social, creators, branded content: your audience chooses this content and trusts the people behind it. Our media creative team tailors your campaign to each one of them. And we guarantee what you get: if we under-deliver, we add more at our cost.

Recommendation, across all our channels

Media creative

one campaign, rewritten for every creator and every show.

That's why a Matière integration doesn't sound like an ad. Our media creative department adapts your message to each property, instead of pasting the same spot everywhere.

  1. 1One big idea, for your brand

    Our media creative team starts from your objective and your audience, not from a format to fill.

  2. 2Rewritten for every creator

    The same idea, adapted to the voice of each host and creator, and to the world of each show. Never the same 30 seconds copied everywhere.

  3. 3Built with production

    A creative kickoff brings together the director, research, the host and media creative before the first line of script.

  4. 4Approved by you

    You approve every script before shooting. Your product becomes part of the story, not an interruption.

Our guarantee

we don't sell a promise, we guarantee a floor.

Every Matière proposal comes with guaranteed reach. If we don't deliver it, we add more at our cost. The risk moves from your side to ours.

01Your report

A clear wrap-up at the end of the campaign: actual listens and impressions, always kept separate, engagement, clicks and promo codes. You leave with all your integrations.

02A guaranteed floor

We set a floor on reach, measured to the IAB First 30 days standard, and on engagement. Not a projection: a commitment.

03We add more until we deliver

If we fall below the floor, we add placements at our cost, on your show or on a similar audience, until we deliver.

A floor, not a ceiling

If we deliver more than the floor, the extra is yours.

No surprise invoice

No refund to claim: we deliver, in additional placements.

What we guarantee

Audience and engagement. Your sales also depend on your offer: we measure them, we don't promise them.

And it doesn't stop at 30 days

we bill 30 days, you keep the asset.

We build our proposals on listens from the first 30 days. The episode itself stays online forever and keeps delivering listens months after the campaign ends, at no extra cost. Anything that comes in after day 30 is a bonus.

Our rates

built to compete with the web giants.

Delivered by the host or creator, in audio, video or on social, your message carries the attention of a premium medium, at a price designed to stack up against your Meta line.

  1. 1Price follows the audience

    A CPM by audience segment, in podcasts, video, social or with a creator. You know who you're talking to.

  2. 2Direct, no middleman

    No platform between you and the creator. The value stays in the content, not in the fees.

  3. 3Three tailored offers

    Matched to your investment, with the same guarantee. You choose the scale, not the level of risk.

  4. 4Everything is costed

    Listens and impressions kept separate, anything added at no charge listed with its value, and the value per dollar of each offer, always above 1.

  5. 5Trade, if it suits you

    Your products or services can count toward the deal, in exchange for media of equivalent value.

What your dollar buysThe same dollar, two different results.

Already doing something else?

we don't replace your channels. we do what they no longer do.

I already do Meta

On Meta, you rent attention in a feed you don't control. In Québec, 13% find social ads relevant and 40% find them annoying. With us, you buy a context of trust.

NETendances, 2024
I already do TV

TV viewing hours dropped 9% in one year in French-speaking Québec. Our filmed shows and YouTube channels reach the same audience, in video, at a moment they chose.

CRTC, 2024-2025
I already do radio

Radio listening is at its lowest level in 5 years. Podcasts and programmatic audio keep the power of the voice, on demand, and the episode stays online.

CRTC, 2024-2025
I want sales, not awareness

95% of buyers are out of market at any given time. Winning brands invest about 60% in brand building. We do both: awareness, plus a promo code, a trackable link or an affiliate link to measure.
