Episode Show Notes

“It’s amazing how many layman people out there who aren’t in the marketing and advertising world don’t realize that there’s actually a connection between, “of, if I go buy this product, it helps the host’... That authentic request is so important.”

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again - podcast advertising is so successful because of the relationship the host has with their audience. That relationship is ultimately what the brand is purchasing when they buy an ad campaign. 

But with so many different types of ads, hosting platforms, and campaigns, it can be confusing to understand what it is exactly you’re buying. 

In today’s episode, Heather is joined by Luke Slota, the Head of Podcasts at the OutLoud Group, to peel back the veil in the name of transparency. 

Tune in to hear Heather and Luke discuss: 

  • The importance of transparency in podcasting 
  • What large companies like iHeart and Spotify mean for the industry
  • How advertisers can successfully integrate YouTube and podcasting into a campaign
  • The discoverability issue with podcasting
  • One key way hosts can be successful in podcast advertising

“My recommendation to buyers is to take any predictions from a frequency-capped campaign with a grain of salt.” Frequency capping is the ability to define the maximum number of times an ad can be delivered to a listener within a given time period - and it’s the newest hot topic in podcasting.
