The two-year deal provides advertisers with opportunities to create bespoke, targeted campaigns through sponsorship, host-read ads and spot ads.

How To Fail with Elizabeth Day is hosted by award-winning author and journalist, Elizabeth Day, and it celebrates the things that haven’t gone right. Each week, a new interviewee explores what their failures taught them about how to succeed better.
