Podcast Advertising Network

Why podcast advertising?

Advertising on podcasts is one of the most effective methods of directly reaching potential customers in a way that traditional, mainstream advertising simply cannot compete with. The growth in the podcast space is truly staggering. There are currently over 2 million active podcasts, up from 550,000 in 2018, a 400% increase in just 3 years!

How To Convert Listeners Into Buyers Anywhere, Anytime

According to the latest Nielsen research, 78% of consumers don't mind hearing podcast ads, while 62% would consider buying a product after hearing it advertised on a podcast.

Podcasts are a different breed of media than their mainstream broadcast predecessors. Podcast listeners are highly engaged and tend to develop a trusting relationship with the hosts of their favorite podcasts. Podcasts offer a personal relationship and sense of community with their listeners that simply cannot be replicated with traditional broadcast media.

No Google SEO

Let's face it, SEO is hard, takes an immense amount of time and it is tough to quantify the costs versus the revenue to your bottom line. You are also subject to the whims of Google and their difficult-to-understand algorithm. Instead, we drive traffic directly through ad placement on popular podcast shows in your niche.

No Facebook Ads

Facebook is known for censoring information and refusing ad buys from what they would consider controversial businesses. We believe in the free market and let businesses and podcasters make their own decisions on which ads they will run on their shows and which they will not. We do our best to match you with your ideal audience who will welcome your products and services and are happy to hear from you even if your message does not fit into the mainstream medias narritaive.

No Instagram Stories

We provide advertising with a long tail, not 20 seconds clips that disappear in a day. All our ads are read by the host of the podcast themselves, meaning they are part of the original episode and stay there for the lifetime of the podcast episode.

No LinkedIn Interruptions

Linkedin traditionally had a terrible return on investment because even LinkedIn experts describe the platform as dull as dirt. It is not an ideal situation to have your prospect's mindset in. Instead, we look at matching you with fun podcasts with a loyal fan base who trust the host and are excited to receive recommendations.
