Overview

JAR helped Saje Natural Wellness deepen customer engagement and grow brand loyalty through values-driven podcast content.

Business Objective

As Saje Natural Wellness expanded its reach, the brand saw an opportunity to deepen engagement with existing customers. With an audience already advocating for the brand through word-of-mouth, Saje wanted to offer content that aligned with their values while expanding brand loyalty.

Saje aimed to cultivate a more personal and lasting connection with their community — especially among devoted customers — by moving beyond products to create a rich, resonant content experience.

“We saw how passionate our customers were about sharing our brand. We wanted to amplify that enthusiasm and provide something they’d feel proud to share.”
Saje Natural Wellness

The Solution

We developed “Well Now,” a podcast designed to reflect Saje’s mission of holistic wellness. Every episode was built on a foundation of thoughtful strategy: beginning with deep discovery sessions to understand Saje’s voice, values, and audience.

The content was audience-first — providing real value through conversations around natural wellness, mental health, and personal growth. Production quality was paramount, with immersive sound design, expert interviews, and narrative clarity guiding every episode.

To ensure the podcast reached the right listeners, JAR’s distribution plan spanned multiple touchpoints:

  • Targeted paid ads on high-performing wellness podcasts
  • Collaborations with trusted wellness influencers
  • In-store “listen stations” and shopping bag inserts featuring QR codes

This full-funnel strategy ensured listeners could discover the show both digitally and physically, wherever they encountered the Saje brand.

The Impact

“Well Now” exceeded engagement benchmarks and demonstrated strong audience resonance from launch.

  • 95% average episode consumption (industry average: 60%)
  • 85% female-identifying listeners (industry standard: 48%)
  • 51% of listeners were under the age of 34
  • Ranked #2 in the Health category on Apple Podcasts at launch, briefly surpassing Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday
  • “Well Now” outperformed industry standards with a 95% average consumption rate per episode (industry average: 60%) 
  • 85% female-identifying listeners (industry standard: 48%)
  • More than half our listeners were under the age of 34
  • “Well Now” ranked #2 in the most popular health podcast at launch, even surpassing Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday at one point

“I love this podcast! It’s chock-full of great content, interviews and practical wellness advice. Highly recommended!”
