Globe Up Close: live webcast and podcast sponsorship
Our new Globe Up Close webcast and podcast sponsorship connects your brand with The Globe’s engaged audiences from coast-to-coast, as they engage with our award-winning journalists, in the most important and timely topics that matter.
The Globe is uniquely trusted to deliver Canada’s most vital news and information, and Globe Up Close dives deep into the biggest news and business, politics, personal finance and investing, arts and entertainment stories, in a series of sizzling, energetic conversations. We’ll produce a podcast from each live webcast that’s available on all major podcast platforms.
