Digital Audio Advertising
With people spending more and more time listening to podcasts or radio or streaming music, the popularity of audio advertising has skyrocketed.
Programmatic audio advertising allows your ads to get in front of millions of relevant people on platforms such as Spotify or Apple Music, making it ideal for businesses wanting to increase brand awareness.
What is digital audio advertising?
Programmatic audio advertising is the automated selling of audio advertising space on streaming services such as Spotify. The ads can be distributed across a variety of devices such as desktop, mobile, or smart speakers, and clever targeting solutions are available to ensure you get your message across to the right audience.
What makes digital audio advertising particularly powerful is that it enables brands with the ability to engage with a highly focused audience; people often listen to digital audio without any other media competing for their attention.
What’s more, since most people consume audio content with their headphones on, it makes for a uniquely personal, emotive and intimate ad experience.

Podcast Audio advertising
Programmatic Audio Advertising is not able to include Podcast Audio Advertising which opens new doors for an advertiser to reach a new and more engaged audience. ‘Baked-in’ host read ads are great for building trust and usually have a deeper engagement as the host is working directly with the product.
New technology now enables “host read ads” from a script within the podcast but the host read ad is dynamically inserted into the podcast as opposed to baked in as part of the podcast itself. This new tech is a hybrid of old baked in ads but with the power of programmatic.

- Data led targeting (geo, behavior, demographics)
- Easily track impressions, downloads etc.
- Creative optimisation
