Entrepreneurs, investors and advisors who position themselves as experts hold a measurable competitive advantage: trust is built through visibility — and visibility is built through content people actually want to consume.

The TABAK Media Studio at Augustaanlage 33 provides the technical infrastructure you need for that content: equipment, rooms, high-speed internet and a fully equipped workstation. You produce yourself or with your team — the studio provides everything you need on a typical production day.

— Production Formats

What you can
produce here.

The studio was designed for professional content of every kind — from the weekly podcast episode to the one-off investor film.

Podcast

Solo format, interview or roundtable — for weekly or monthly episode formats. Ideal for tax advisors, lawyers and entrepreneurs.

Video production

Corporate film, product presentation or thought-leadership video with professional editing and colour correction.

Investor update

Quarterly reports and investor updates in video format — more impact than a PDF, more trust than an email.

Webinar & online event

Live streaming or recorded webinars — with professional picture and sound quality that signals credibility.

Commercial & reel

Short, quickly produced content for social media — LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube in a single recording day.

§

Expert talk & explainer video

Complex topics, simply explained — for clients, investors or your own positioning as an expert.

— Strategic value

What your own podcast does
that advertising cannot.

Advertising is bought attention. A podcast is earned attention. In B2B sales with long decision cycles, the second lever is far more powerful — and often costs a fraction per lead. Six ways this works in day-to-day business.

— 01

Pre-sales trust building.

A client who has listened to two episodes with you before the first meeting walks in pre-qualified and well-disposed. That typically shortens sales cycles by 30–50%, because the question of trust has already been settled.

— 02

A lead magnet with a long half-life.

A LinkedIn ad works for 7 days. A podcast episode works for years. In our experience, content from 2024 is still generating enquiries in 2026. The cost per lead falls with every month the episode stays online.

— 03

Positioning as an authority.

Speak regularly about your field and you become the reference point in your market. The effects are tangible: speaking invitations, book projects, supervisory board mandates, acquisition offers. All from a microphone in the right studio.

— 04

A recruiting lever.

Candidates who have listened to a podcast with you know whether they fit your world — before they apply. That leads to better candidates and lower staff turnover. For every position, a substantial saving compared with recruitment consultants.

— 05

A content multiplier.

A single 45-minute episode becomes 8–12 social media snippets, a newsletter article, a blog post and a YouTube cut. One studio booking produces content for 6 weeks of organic communication.

— 06

A conversation opener for top clients.

Invite someone as a guest, and you have automatically started an official relationship. A podcast invitation opens doors a cold email never would. Sales teams use this systematically.

The honest maths: A full-day booking costs 1,450 €. From that, you typically produce 2–3 episodes plus cut-down content. A single client won through that content exceeds the studio costs of an entire year several times over. The question is not whether a podcast pays off — it's when you start.

— Frequently Asked Questions

What you want
to know.

What does the studio cost — and what's included?

The hourly booking costs €250 net (2-hour minimum). The full-day booking (8 hours) costs €1,450 net. Included in the price: 2× 4K cameras with PTZ, 2× Røde wireless microphones, Sony ZV-E10 II, 55" live monitor, fully equipped workstation, 1 Gbit/s fibre, recording room, guest lounge and hot and cold drinks. Catering can be added on request.

Do you also offer post-production (editing, mastering, distribution)?

No. The TABAK Media Studio focuses on what it does best: equipment, rooms, infrastructure. We deliver the raw files in the highest quality — editing, sound mastering, colour grading and distribution are handled by you or your service provider. This clean separation means transparent pricing and maximum studio availability.

Is livestreaming possible?

Yes. The studio features a fully livestream-ready setup with a 1 Gbit/s symmetrical fibre connection. You can stream directly to YouTube, LinkedIn, Vimeo, X or your own platform — with the 2× 4K PTZ cameras and the 55" live monitor as your control-room preview.

How big are the rooms? Can I set them up to suit my needs?

We have rooms ranging from 15 m² to 75 m² — from a compact solo studio to a spacious multi-camera setup. Tables, chairs, standing tables and lounge furniture can be arranged freely: panel discussion, interview, live event or solo recording. Let us know before booking which configuration you'd like.

Can guests wait or prepare before the recording?

Yes — we have a premium guest lounge at Augustaanlage 33. Your interview partners, guests or crew can arrive there, prepare for the recording or take breaks. Hot and cold drinks are provided free of charge, and catering can be added on request.

Can I appear as a guest on TABAK Talks?

TABAK Talks invites selected guests from entrepreneurship, law, tax and investment. If you have a relevant topic to contribute, write to us. We'll assess the fit and get back to you within a week.
