The fwd. network has been named the exclusive audio advertising sales partner for Stockton Street, the new podcast hosted by Serena and Venus Williams.
The show explores the sisters’ journey from Compton to global success, mixing reflections on resilience, wellness and sisterhood with commentary on culture and breaking barriers.
Cathy Csukas, CEO and Founder of the fwd. network, said: “Teaming up with Serena and Venus Williams on Stockton Street marks a defining moment for the fwd. network.
“Serena and Venus are more than champions, they’re icons whose influence extends across generations. This partnership unlocks an unprecedented opportunity for brands to connect with their fans through the intimacy of podcasting.”
Venus Williams said: “It was important for us to align with a platform that shares our values. We’re committed to amplifying women’s voices, and they understand the power of creating honest, authentic and meaningful conversations.”
Serena Williams added: “Stockton Street is about truth, growth, and connection, and working with a female-first platform allows us to amplify our story authentically while inspiring the next generation.”
As an independent, female-first podcast platform, the fwd. network says it is uniquely positioned to connect advertisers with the Williams sisters’ audience, focusing on authenticity and brand alignment.
