ReNewy Living is looking to partner with like-minded, values-aligned brands and businesses with a Newcastle-region presence. We’d like to showcase the diversity of environmentally-friendly and -aware brands, products and services that Newcastle has to offer. And we’d like our sustainably-minded audience to connect with your business.

There are two ways for us to work together:

Podcast Sponsorship

By supporting The ReNewy Living Podcast you’re helping us share sustainability stories of our region.

A partnership wth The Renewy Living Podcast gives your business coverage to our engaged sustainable lifestyle community across both digital and audio media.

If you’re interested in sponsoring The ReNewy Living Podcast for Series 2 and beyond, please get in touch with Mardi here or email directly to mardi@renewyliving.com.au and we’ll email you our Podcast Sponsorship Guide outlining the benefits and details.

Other Collaborations, Partnerships & Sponsorships Guide

Want to see how you can become one of our valued collaborators, partners or sponsors? We’d love to work with you, keeping these important elements in mind. 

Sponsorship Guidelines

Before we chat about teaming up together, let’s make sure our values and purpose are the right fit for each other. I encourage my listeners and readers to approach everything mindfully, thinking about what’s truly needed in their lifestyles.

The same goes for our partnership – it’s about being authentic and sharing values we both know are important for people and planet. Read about ReNewy Living’s values and approach to sustainability here..

What I Value in a Partnership

Collaboration with Flowering Cosmos

Here’s what I look for in a business or brand to build a strong partnership. The more values we share, the better our collaboration can be:

  • A presence or connection to the Newcastle area – whether that’s a showroom, a local stockist, a branch, or the ability to service the region
  • Social enterprise, B-corp, business or organisation that shares a commitment to the health and wellbeing of people and planet
  • Australian-owned or Australian made
  • Transparency on materials, manufacturing, and end-of-life for products, supporting circular economy principles.
  • Fair treatment and fair wages for everyone involved in your product or service, especially if produced offshore.
  • Thoughtful management of samples, unsellable items, and excess stock.

I like to keep things genuine, so it’s important for me to truly believe that your product or service is a good fit for my readers and listeners.

Examples of Ideal Partner Brands

Examples of great-fit products, brands or businesses types may include:

  • Home renovation and trade businesses: People make big decisions here, and sustainable choices make a difference.
  • Utility companies supporting renewable energy, potable water and clean sewer solutions
  • Car and bicycle brands encouraging sustainable or active transportation
  • Footwear brands using natural materials such as leather and wool to create durable and comfortable shoes. 
  • Clothing brands that choose preloved, fabric upcycling or have a robust brand lifecycle
  • Books that inspire action and positive change
  • Food and beverage brands that prioritise locally grown, and have sustainable goals for reducing food waste 
  • Experience-based businesses with a sustainable focus, like eco-retreats, walking, tours, or cycling adventures, accomodation.
  • Camping and outdoor brands
  • And any other unique brands, businesses or products that align with ReNewy Living’s values.

What does a Collaboration, Partnership or Sponsorship Look Like?

Collaboration with 17 Flowers

Collaborations, partnerships or sponsorships can take many forms—financial support, product or service sponsorship, authentic blog posts, email newsletters, social media features, or experience-based reviews. I’m open to all suggestions.

Let’s have a chat! Send me an email first to mardi@renewyliving.com.au or contact me here…
