How are your 2024 resolutions going so far? Sometimes, we start the first month with an accelerated motivation to achieve our goals. But, along the way, with the shorter days and winter nights, we can find ourselves losing the drive to check off those personal and professional milestones. We also mistakenly think working alone or adopting the “do-it-myself” strategy may be the best step forward.
Yet, at Mrs. Smith Assist, we’ve witnessed the transformative power of a dedicated team. This month, we celebrate a significant achievement for one of our clients, emphasizing the effectiveness of a collaborative partnership in securing a successful podcast launch.
Grace Kraaijvanger, founder of The Hivery, and former professional ballet and modern dancer, has empowered over 8,000 women in navigating their personal and professional journeys, serving as a beacon of hope and leadership by sharing her experiences with loss, grief, and unexpected challenges. Yet her expertise goes beyond using her strength and vulnerability to help women create their next meaningful chapters; through a variety of resources, retreats, master classes, and now her podcast, Grace has built a community where women can safely self-express, reconnect to themselves, rediscover their passions, and make a significant contribution to the world. We’re so proud to announce that we played a part in this movement.
How the MSA Team Provides a Successful Podcast Launch
With the support of our team, Grace launched her podcast “The Art of What’s Next”, where she will interview inspiring entrepreneurs, writers, artists, and creatives, share their stories, and champion women to embark on the next chapter of their lives. Tuning into weekly episodes, listeners will receive inspiration, courage, creativity, and resources to embrace who they are, what they want for themselves, and everything in between. Our team’s commitment, guided by a comprehensive strategy aligned with Grace’s brand, yielded exceptional results and surpassed her expectations.

The Results
Since the launch of “The Art of What’s Next“, the inspiring and innovative entrepreneur has already garnered an impressive 1,148 downloads within the first 30 days, captivating a broad audience. The engagement was exceptional, with podcast email announcements boasting a 52-54% open rate. Our team also helped her release and promote a podcast trailer to generate enthusiasm and excitement about the interviews she will conduct, and as a result, the first four episodes were a success!
Even more, our meticulously crafted launch plan ensured a thriving debut, setting the stage for an exciting journey throughout Season one. As Grace continues this chapter of her uplifting and heartfelt business, the results affirm the team’s ability at Mrs. Smith Assist to launch a product or service that resonates with any given audience. We, therefore, believe Grace will enjoy an engaging and impactful season ahead. Join her as she unfolds more compelling stories and insights that captivate, inspire, and leave a lasting impression on her listeners.
