Episode Show Notes

As traditional influencer marketing platforms (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) get increasingly over-saturated with influencer-type content, it's effortless for consumers to swipe right past ads. And so, companies have started to look for new avenues to reach their customers. And that's where podcasting comes in.

But many digital marketers are used to a centralized platform to buy ads with a few clicks. Podcast advertising is lacking in this area, creating a barricade for more digital marketers to transfer a part of their influencer budget into podcasting.

Anna Ratala, Co-Founder and CEO of Zvook.co joins me on the podcast to discuss how she is trying to remove the ad-buying barrier and bring more ad spend into podcasting.

We discuss how the goal is to add podcast advertising into a marketing mix to support and complement what marketers are already doing. We also talk about the struggle of how to attribute conversions to podcast ads, and what you can do to measure its success.
