Fondy Famous was built to celebrate the incredible businesses, nonprofits, and changemakers that make Fond du Lac special — and there is no charge to be featured. Our goal is to keep it that way. While we offer optional paid boosts, the truth is many small businesses and nonprofits simply can’t afford traditional advertising. We never want cost to be a barrier for them. But producing Fondy Famous comes with real expenses — studio time, editing, equipment, and platform fees. That’s where sponsorship comes in. Your support keeps this platform running and accessible for everyone, while giving your business high-impact local visibility and professional content you can use across your own channels.
Fondy Famous is a video podcast and social media platform spotlighting local businesses, nonprofits, historic homes, and community changemakers. Every Friday morning, we publish new stories across multiple platforms. Our content is reaching over 2.5 million views per month, and our audience is expanding into Oshkosh, Sheboygan and the surrounding areas.
Sponsoring Fondy Famous is more than just supporting local small businesses. It’s a smart marketing investment! Sponsors receive:
We love sharing about local businesses on our unmatched social media page, huge local email list, website, and more. Yours could be next!
The Fondy Famous Podcast features new and legacy businesses to put them on the map. Find out how you could be featured at no cost.
We’re proud to offer non-profits the ability to advertise with us at no cost. These spots are currently full, but sponsorship allows us to add more.
Becoming a sponsor is more than supporting a cause, it’s a smart marketing investment. Your brand shows up where your customers already are, in ways that feel authentic and community-driven.
Sponsors receive:
High-frequency, high-visibility exposure to a loyal local audience
Shareable, professional content for your own marketing
Ongoing brand mentions with each new feature
Alignment with a trusted, grassroots community brand
