The people behind True Native MediaIndependent Since 2016. Built for What's Next.A team of strategists, relationship builders, and podcast enthusiasts who care about the people and businesses behind every partnership.

A Lot Has Changed Since 2016. So Have We.

When Heather Osgood founded True Native Media in 2016, podcast advertising was still finding its footing. With a background in radio advertising and a belief in the potential of podcasting, she saw an opportunity to help independent creators build sustainable businesses while connecting advertisers with audiences in a more meaningful way.

What started with a focus on authentic, host-read advertising has grown into a podcast representation and advertising agency working with hundreds of shows and brands across the industry.

Today, the way people create, distribute, and consume content looks very different. And as the industry continues to evolve, so does our approach to representation, monetization, and the partnerships that make it all possible.

Our Vision

Great podcast advertising starts with trust. Trust between creators and their audiences, between brands and their partners, and between the people working behind the scenes. We believe the strongest partnerships respect those relationships and create meaningful value for everyone involved.


Our Mission

Podcasting is no longer defined by a single platform, format, or advertising model. As creators build businesses that extend beyond audio, we're evolving alongside them, expanding how we approach representation, monetization, and brand partnerships while staying true to the relationships that built our business.
