Sponsorship FAQs
What is Cooking with CISOs?
Cooking with CISOs is a filmed culinary-conversation series where real cybersecurity leaders cook their signature dishes while discussing leadership, risk, buyer psychology, GTM truth, and the human side of cybersecurity. It blends executive-level thought leadership with emotional storytelling, creating unmatched trust, visibility, and affinity for sponsors.
What does a sponsorship include?
- One full episode filmed with a CISO or senior security leader
- A professional multi-camera production powered by Cyberwhyze
- Custom content assets (reels, shorts, clips, quotes, stills)
- Sponsor branding integrated across the episode, set, and opening/closing segments
- Distribution across: LinkedIn (founder + corporate pages), YouTube, The CyberNest expert network, The Cooking with CISOs newsletter & community
- Event amplification (where appropriate)
- Optional co-branded ABM campaigns to your ideal customer list
- A dedicated sponsor performance recap
How long does production take?
Current production cycle: 4–6 weeks from filming to final delivery. Need it faster? We offer an expedited delivery option for an additional fee.
What is the expected ROI for sponsors?
Sponsors typically see value in three key areas:
1. Trust & Affinity:
Human-first content featuring respected CISOs accelerates credibility and creates long-tail brand recall.
2. Demand & Pipeline Influence:
Your episode is pushed to a curated network of senior security leaders, and can be used across your own demand gen campaigns, social content, and sales enablement.
3. Strategic Relationship Building:
You get the opportunity to build an authentic relationship with a vetted CISO guest - something nearly impossible through cold outreach.
Can we choose the CISO guest?
Yes. We maintain a curated network of CISOs and security leaders and will match you to a guest aligned to your ICP, values, and narrative. You may also nominate a guest; all nominees must be vetted and approved for editorial fit. We can also custom recruit a CISO guest if you choose The Chef's Table.
Do sponsors own the content?
Yes. Sponsors receive full commercial usage rights to all final assets—episode, clips, stills, quotes, etc.—for paid, earned, and owned channels.
How is distribution handled?
We distribute across:
LinkedIn: Founder pages, company pages, partner syndication
YouTube: Full episode, shorts, playlists, SEO-optimized descriptions
The CyberNest community: 1,000+ senior security leaders
Email newsletters: Cooking with CISOs & CyberSynapse
Partner channels
Additionally, sponsors receive a distribution playbook to maximize reach through their own channels.
Is there paid amplification?
Yes. We can run paid campaigns on LinkedIn targeting your ABM list or strategic ICP segments. These campaigns dramatically increase impressions, watch-through rate, and downstream pipeline engagement.
What’s the filming experience like?
Fun, relaxed, and relationship-building. Sponsors repeatedly tell us it feels more like a shared human moment than a production shoot. Guests walk away feeling connected, respected, and proud of the content. We film in state-of-the-art kitchens with a dedicated director, producer, and multi-camera crew.
Who is Cooking with CISOs best suited for?
Cybersecurity vendors who want:
- Major credibility and trust with security buyers
- Cinematic content their marketing team can repurpose for months
- A relationship-building experience with real CISOs
- Content that stands out in a noisy market
- A differentiated sponsorship environment that isn’t vendor-spammy
Who is it not for?
Vendors seeking:
- Hard-selling opportunities
- Feature walkthroughs or product demos
- Promotional content disguised as thought leadership
- Content with zero editorial boundaries
- We protect the integrity of the show—because that’s what buyers trust.
What if we need internal approval?
We provide a sponsor validation pack that includes:
- Value storyline
- Audience data
- Sample episodes
- Expected reach metrics
- ROI framework
- Internal pitch script
- Budget justification sheet
This makes it easier to get buy-in from CMOs, CROs, or procurement.
