FAQ

Good Questions. Straight Answers.

From ad formats and pricing to sponsorships and monetization, we're breaking down the essentials of the podcast advertising industry.

How much does podcast advertising cost?

Podcast advertising costs vary based on audience size, ad format, placement, and campaign goals. Whether you're exploring a targeted host-read campaign or a larger, multi-show advertising strategy, our team can help identify the right opportunities for your brand. Reach out to share your goals and budget, and we'll work with you to build a campaign that makes sense for your objectives.

What is a host-read ad?

Host-read ads are ads that are created by the host of the podcast. The podcast host samples and uses the advertiser’s product and then creates an ad read that provides personal experience with the product.

What is the typical timeline for a campaign?

Most podcast advertising campaigns begin with an initial three-month commitment, allowing time to evaluate performance, optimize placements, and build momentum with listeners. Many advertisers choose to extend their campaigns into longer-term partnerships based on results. Our team works with each brand to determine the right timeline based on its goals, budget, and advertising strategy.

Why do I need a test campaign?

A test campaign allows you to evaluate how podcast advertising performs for your brand before committing to a larger investment. It helps identify which shows, audiences, and messaging resonate most with your target customers. These insights give us the opportunity to refine your strategy, optimize performance, and make more informed decisions about future campaigns.
