Reciprocal promotion
Reciprocal promotion is the mutual sharing of an episode by both the host brand and the guest, where each side amplifies the recording to its own audience. For B2B shows it is the simplest way to borrow a guest's network and reach new buyers.
For example, when a partner executive appears on your show, you provide ready-made clips and copy, they post to their LinkedIn following, and you both tag each other so the episode reaches two professional audiences at once.
Why it matters: every guest brings an audience, and reciprocal promotion turns each booking into distribution you did not have to pay for, expanding reach among exactly the kind of professionals your guest attracts.
The reliable win is the guest sharing their own episode - good shows make that effortless by handing over ready-to-post assets the guest is proud to publish.
- Assuming guests will promote without being asked or equipped.
- Sending unbranded or low-quality assets the guest will not want to share.
- Demanding a fixed share schedule that feels like an obligation.

How do you encourage a guest to promote their episode?
Make it effortless by sending a ready-to-post promotion kit with clips, suggested copy, and tags, and time the ask for when they are most engaged, right after recording or on launch day.
What if a guest does not share their episode?
Some will not, so do not depend on it. Send the kit anyway, prompt gently once, and treat any guest amplification as upside rather than the core of your distribution plan.
