About Phil
Phil Cooke, born on August 31, 1954, is an American writer, television producer, and media consultant based in Burbank, California. He is known for his commentary on contemporary American and American-influenced Christian culture. As an evangelical Christian, Cooke has been recognized both as a critic and a commentator; Scott McClellan of Collide Magazine noted that while Cooke may appear to be a critic of Christian media, his critiques stem from a place of love. In 1991, he and his wife Kathleen founded Cooke Media Group, which has been involved in media production and consulting. Cooke has authored the book 'Church on Trial – How to Protect Your Congregation, Mission and Reputation During a Crisis,' addressing strategies for managing crises within church communities. He was also a co-founder of TWC Films, a company that produced two Super Bowl commercials in 2008. Throughout his career, Cooke has combined his roles as a media professional and cultural commentator, contributing to discussions on the intersection of faith, media, and culture.

FAQs
Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
