Beasley Business Model Canvas

Game publishers and leagues supply IP rights, official schedules and rules that preserve competitive integrity, enabling teams to enter sanctioned events; global esports revenue topped an estimated $1.5 billion in 2024, driving higher team valuation. Event partners and venues facilitate tournaments and on-site fan activations that convert attendance into ticket, F&B and merch income. These relationships unlock sponsorships, media rights and direct monetization while creating cross-platform content opportunities across streaming, short-form and broadcast channels.

Agencies drive predictable upfronts and remnant sales, converting radio/audio reach (~90–92% US adults weekly, Nielsen 2024) into revenue. Labels and syndicators supply premium content (recorded music $26.2B 2023; streaming >65% IFPI 2024). Tech/ad‑tech enables programmatic audio and DAI (programmatic ~86% display 2024), while ratings and analytics (podcast ads $2.14B 2023) validate inventory and pricing.

Stream stations across apps and web and publish podcasts and VOD to capture increasing on-demand consumption; the digital audio market showed double-digit growth in 2024 while US podcast ad revenue exceeded $2 billion in 2023. Execute SEO, newsletters, and social strategies to expand reach and acquisition. Manage push notifications and CRM to build daily habits and retention. Continuously test new formats to raise average time spent per user.
