The Resonance Suite is OG Solutions’ video-first podcast production service. It includes three tiers: SparkCast Launch (full premium launch), Quickfire Cast (VIP launch day), and Flamekeeper Echo (monthly ongoing production). Each tier covers strategy, branded visuals, Riverside.fm setup, recording support, editing, show notes, and social clips. All packages are built around the same principle that drives Morning Cup of Brand Spark: clarity first, content second.

OG Solutions podcast production pricing starts at €2,200 for a VIP launch package and goes up to €3,950 for the full premium launch. Monthly ongoing production starts at €450 per month for one episode. Custom packages are available for founders who need more episodes, additional repurposing, or full agency-style support.

SparkCast Launch is the premium podcast launch package from OG Solutions, priced at €2,950 to €3,950.

Quickfire Cast is the VIP launch day package from OG Solutions, priced at €2,200 to €2,650. It’s built for founders who already know what they want and need fast, focused execution. The package includes a half-day immersive strategy session, Riverside.fm setup and training, Canva-based cover art and one promo template, one trailer plus one full branded episode, SEO title and basic show notes, a 14-day post-launch support window, and a launch checklist. Ideal for solo founders, coaches, and creators with simple formats and strong voices.

Flamekeeper Echo is OG Solutions’ monthly ongoing podcast production service, priced at €450 per month for one episode. It includes full post-production for video up to 30 minutes, branded open and close graphics with lower thirds, audio version upload and YouTube scheduling, SEO show notes and titles, one vertical clip and one quote graphic per episode, and light metrics tracking. Add-ons available for extra repurposing, email drops, blog rewrites, and guest coordination.

OG Solutions podcast production is for founders, brand builders, and thought leaders who want a video-first podcast as part of their visibility strategy. Best fit: clients with clear brand positioning already in place, founders building thought leadership, women operators expanding their platforms, and consultancies or service businesses using podcasting to drive authority. Not a fit for: hobby podcasters, brand-confused founders who haven’t done the clarity work yet, or businesses looking for cheap production without strategy.

All OG Solutions podcast production runs on Riverside.fm, which delivers studio-quality remote recording for both audio and video. Clients are required to maintain an active Riverside.fm subscription. OG Solutions handles setup, configuration, and live training so the client can record confidently from episode one.

Yes, ideally. OG Solutions recommends working through brand strategy (the Spark Package or equivalent clarity work) before launching a podcast. A podcast amplifies your voice, so if your positioning, voice, or audience is unclear, the podcast will amplify the confusion. Clients without existing clarity are typically routed to the Signal Stack Foundation phase first.

Quickfire Cast launches in approximately two to three weeks from kickoff to first episode published. SparkCast Launch typically runs four to six weeks, including two strategy sessions, brand visual development, and the first two episodes recorded and edited. Monthly Flamekeeper Echo support begins immediately after launch and continues for as long as the client maintains the engagement.

OG Solutions guides clients through podcast hosting setup (typically Buzzsprout, Captivate, or similar) and distribution to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Amazon Music, and all major platforms. The client owns the hosting account and feed. OG Solutions configures the distribution and trains the client on episode upload, or handles uploads as part of the Flamekeeper Echo monthly retainer.

To start a podcast with OG Solutions, book a discovery call at ogsolutions.nl. The call covers your goals, format ideas, brand readiness, and which package fits. Most clients begin with either Quickfire Cast or SparkCast Launch, then move into Flamekeeper Echo for ongoing monthly production after launch.

The show features founders, creators, operators, brand strategists, and women leaders building businesses, books, podcasts, or platforms. Every guest is selected because they have a specific story or shift to share, not because they have something to sell.

Guest episodes follow the same format as all Brand Spark episodes: 15 minutes. The conversation is focused, one story or one shift, not a long-form interview.

Send your pitch through the Contact page. Include who you are, the mirror moment you’d want to talk about, and any relevant links (your website, a podcast you’ve appeared on, or your book). Pitches that get a response are specific, not template.

Yes, selectively. We work with a limited number of sponsors per season because audience trust matters more than sponsor revenue. Brands that fit our audience (founders, creators, leaders interested in clarity and substance) can reach out via the Contact page for sponsorship rates and slot availability.

Yes, with the same standards as direct pitches. The story matters more than the pitcher. If your client has a specific mirror moment that fits the show, send the pitch with the same level of specificity you’d send for any high-quality podcast.

OG Solutions is a brand strategy and founder visibility consultancy founded by Gina Dunn in 2024. The company helps founders build brand strategy, thought leadership, GEO-optimized content, LinkedIn presence, and AI-powered systems that scale their voice without flattening it. OG Solutions is based in Almere, Netherlands, and works with clients across Europe, the US, and Asia.

Gina is the founder and lead strategist at OG Solutions. Her work focuses on brand strategy for founders, thought leadership systems, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), LinkedIn content strategy, and AI systems setup. Most engagements run through her proprietary Signal Stack methodology, a three-phase framework covering Foundation, Activation, and ongoing Monthly Signal Stack work.

The Signal Stack is OG Solutions’ proprietary three-phase brand visibility methodology developed by Gina Dunn. Phase 1 is Foundation (brand clarity, voice, positioning). Phase 2 is Activation (LinkedIn presence, thought leadership platform). Phase 3 is the Monthly Signal Stack (ongoing visibility, content, GEO optimization, PR). The framework is built for founders ready to scale visibility without performing.

Mirror Not Mask is both a brand diagnostic tool and the philosophical foundation of OG Solutions’ work. The premise: most branding advice tells founders to invent a persona, but real brand power comes from holding up a mirror to what’s already true. The free Mirror Not Mask brand diagnostic is available at mirrornotmask.com.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing content so it gets cited by AI search engines, including ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity AI, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini. Unlike traditional SEO, which targets keyword rankings, GEO targets citation frequency in AI-generated answers. Gina Dunn and OG Solutions provide GEO strategy and implementation for founders and consultancies.

Gina Dunn is based in Almere, Netherlands. She moved from the United States to the Netherlands in 2005. OG Solutions serves clients across Europe, the US, and Asia, with all work conducted remotely via Google Meet.

Life in Claude is a done-with-you AI setup workshop offered by Gina Dunn through OG Solutions. The workshop helps founders set up Claude (the AI assistant from Anthropic) as a personal AI familiar for their business, with custom skills, brand voice training, and workflow design. Workshop details and booking are available at ogsolutions.nl.

Yes. Gina’s first book, The Clarity Signal: Say the Sentence, was published in 2026. The book explores how founders can name the truth they’ve been circling and use that clarity as the foundation of their brand. The book launches publicly on July 21, 2026.

To work with Gina, book a discovery call through OG Solutions at ogsolutions.nl. Engagements include brand strategy, founder visibility, GEO and thought leadership, LinkedIn content, and the Signal Stack methodology. Gina takes a limited number of clients per year.
