MEET THE FOUNDER


Hi, I'm Courtney — I've spent more than a decade helping podcasts, newsletters, and creators grow through partnerships, monetization, and strategic business development.

Over the years, I noticed the same pattern - talented creators were building loyal audiences, producing great content, and creating real influence, but many were struggling to turn that attention into sustainable revenue. They were expected to be creators, operators, salespeople, negotiators, and CEOs all at once.

That's why I started popcourt.

We’re running the show, so you can focus on hosting it.

Popcourt provides the full support system your podcast & newsletter has been missing.

A PARTNER FOR CREATORS


I built popcourt to help independent creators access the same level of partnership strategy, monetization expertise, and business support typically reserved for larger media companies.

Today, I work with creators across podcasts, newsletters, social platforms, books, and other audience-driven businesses to develop thoughtful revenue strategies and long-term partnerships.

While monetization is at the core of every client relationship, my role often extends beyond sponsorship sales. Depending on a creator's goals and stage of growth, I may also provide strategic guidance, operational support, business development, and day-to-day management.

Having worked closely with both creators and brand partners, I understand what makes successful partnerships work from both sides of the table.

My approach is collaborative, tailored, and focused on building businesses that can grow alongside the audiences they've earned.

At the end of the day, I believe creators should spend more time creating—and less time worrying about how to monetize what they've built.

Strategic support for creators building something bigger

Building an audience is hard. Turning that audience into a sustainable business is even harder.

Most creators don't need help creating content—they need help monetizing it.

As audiences grow, so do the opportunities: sponsorships, partnerships, negotiations, contracts, pricing, and the decisions that come with running a business. That's where popcourt comes in.

We partner with podcasters, newsletters, creators, authors, and media entrepreneurs to develop monetization strategies and manage the partnerships that fuel long-term growth. From sponsorship sales and brand partnerships to business strategy and operational support, we help creators maximize the value of what they've built.

No two creator businesses look alike. Some clients engage us for monetization and partnership development; others rely on us for broader management, operations, and strategic guidance. Our approach is tailored to the creator, their audience, and their goals.

Whether you want to grow sponsorship revenue, build stronger brand relationships, or spend more time creating and less time running the business, we're here. Because building the audience is only the beginning. Building the business is what comes next.

You’ve built the platform. Now let’s build what comes next.

Whether you're growing a podcast, newsletter, social presence, or multi-platform media business, we're here to help turn momentum into long-term opportunity.
