Why Alaska Úlfhé∂nar Media (AKUMedia)
Our productions exist for one purpose: to help people come back to themselves—calmer, clearer, and more connected. Every show is crafted to support mental and emotional wellbeing, to rekindle pride in our ancestors, and to walk in better balance with all life across the realms. When you partner with us, you’re fueling programming that lifts people out of isolation and back into community, meaning, and courage.
Our purpose
We create immersive audio and video that:
- encourages practical steps toward steadier minds and steadier lives,
- honors ancestral wisdom without dogma or gatekeeping, and
- invites listeners to live with humility, service, and harmony.
Led by a working Celtic–Norse shaman from Alaska
These aren’t abstract ideas. Our host is an active, practicing Celtic–Norse shaman from Alaska—grounded in lived tradition, called by his own ancestors, and focused on service. He translates old ways into modern tools: simple practices, honest reflection, and a clear path forward that people can use today.
Who we serve
From veterans and first responders managing trauma to anyone carrying the everyday weight of work, family, and modern pace—our audience shows up because the work is real, compassionate, and usable. We do not offer diagnosis or treatment; we offer guidance, perspective, and practices that help people feel less alone and more capable.

Why Sponsor AKUMedia?
Our audience shows up for depth, craft, and usefulness—and they carry forward the values of their ancestors. Many of our followers dedicate their lives to ensuring their families are safe, provided for, and strong. In that way, they are loyal to services and products that truly work. While thrifty in everyday spending, they will give a king’s ransom for products and services they can believe in and trust.
Though scattered across the globe, the internet has opened trade routes beyond the imagination of our forebearers. Your message doesn’t just reach a single town or region—it moves through a worldwide community.
When you sponsor AKUMedia, you gain access to:
- An audience seeking tools for balance, healing, and strength
- Listeners and viewers who reward brands that prove their reliability
- A global marketplace that honors loyalty and authenticity
Your sponsorship is more than placement. It’s partnership with a people who live their values—and who stand behind those who stand with them.
Audience & Reach (update quarterly)
Our reach is not measured only in numbers—it is measured in trust. Each download, each view, each share represents a person who has chosen to walk with us, listen with us, and bring these teachings into their daily lives. That kind of loyalty cannot be bought—it must be earned.

While our community is global, it feels local. Our listeners gather around the fire—whether in Alaska, Europe, or across the Americas. They are attentive, intentional, and selective. When we bring a sponsor’s message into that space, it comes with the same voice of trust that they have come to rely on.
Metrics are sourced directly from platform analytics, updated quarterly. Sponsors receive a summary report for transparency.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Partnership with AKUMedia is not just ad space—it’s stepping into the circle of firelight where trust is forged. Every placement is designed to be respectful, intentional, and effective, ensuring your message is heard, remembered, and honored.
And unlike traditional ads that vanish after airtime, our sponsorships live in perpetuity. Each Whispers of the Norse episode, each video, each podcast remains available—gathering new listeners and viewers long after release. Your message continues to work for you, week after week, season after season.
Podcast (audio)
Your message becomes part of the storytelling rhythm:
- Pre-roll (≤30s): A clear, concise welcome before the journey begins.

Bundles
