FULL-SERVICE PODCAST PRODUCTION
We’re not just your podcast producer, we’re your strategic creative partner
At Novice Studios, we believe your podcast isn’t just another piece of content - it’s the literal voice of your brand. It’s how you connect, inspire, and build trust with the people you’re meant to serve.
That’s why we created a full-service podcast production and marketing studio to serve the greater Charlotte area and beyond. Here, we help entrepreneurs, coaches, and leaders step confidently behind the mic while we handle the tech, the editing, and the strategy that turns episodes into business growth.
Our Story
We started Novice Studios because we saw too many brilliant business owners holding back - or straight-up giving up - because podcasting felt overwhelming. Between equipment confusion (“should I be on YouTube??”), endless editing, and the pressure to stay consistent while running out of content ideas… Phew! In all the exhaustion, their voices were getting lost.
We knew there had to be a better way.
So, in 2020, we launched Novice Studios to make podcasting simple, strategic, and sustainable. Since then, we’ve:
Produced 500+ podcast episodes
Created thousands of pieces of video content
Supported 35+ entrepreneurs, businesses, and organizations in launching or revitalizing their podcasts
Our mission is simple: to help you launch, grow, and market a podcast that makes an impact—and fuels your entire content strategy.
Who we serve
Coaches, consultants, and service providers building thought leadership
CEOs and business owners growing their brand authority
Nonprofits and community leaders ready to share their mission
Busy professionals who want to stay consistent without the overwhelm
If you’re ready to stop piecing things together and start showing up with clarity and confidence, you’re in the right place.
