What Are Sub-Networks?
Sub-networks allow you to organize and manage multiple publisher entities under a parent publisher account. They enable data sharing and audience aggregation while maintaining separate operational control.
How Sub-Networks Work
When a network is added as a sub-network:
- Data Visibility: The parent network can see all campaigns created by the sub-network.
- Audience Tracking: Sub-network show data counts toward the parent publisher's total audience size.
- Dashboard Organization: All sub-network shows appear on the parent's configure page with a different publisher designation, making them easily distinguishable and filterable.
- Ranker Credit: Sub-network shows contribute to the parent publisher's ranking on the Podscribe Ranker.
Adding a Sub-Network
Due to data access security considerations, sub-networks can only be added by Podscribe admins. This restriction is in place because adding a sub-network grants access to all of that network's data.
To request a sub-network addition:
- Contact adops@podscribe.com.
- Specify which publisher you'd like to add as a sub-network.

Sub-Network Limitations
Currently, sub-networks have the following constraints:
- Show Management: Only the sub-network owner can add shows to their own sub-network. The parent publisher cannot directly add shows to a sub-network.
- Admin-Controlled Setup: Sub-network configuration remains under admin control to protect data integrity and security.
Use Cases
Sub-networks are ideal for:
- Media companies managing multiple brands or networks
- Publishers with regional or specialized divisions
- Organizations seeking unified audience reporting across related properties
