Everything You Need to Know About Podcast Advertising
Podcast Advertising is a new advertising format that allows advertisers to take an early mover lead in the wild west of celebrities, journalists and storyteller content being downloaded everyday from the largest audio platforms in the world.
How much does it cost to advertise on a podcast?
Podcast advertising can range from $18 to $25 CPM, which is based on an estimate of downloads of a particular program or mix of programs. Podcast networks typically require a minimum spend from advertisers to access the more popular programs but based on a blended mix of spend going towards a large group of separate podcast shows. Radioactive has the ability to allocate spend towards a more focused program or smaller set of programs the way that advertising is traditionally strategized across any given format or channel.

Podcast Ad Agency
Most advertisers decide first to go directly to a well known podcast ad sales department or sometimes even a large podcast network. Most of the time, it is wiser to first approach a podcast ad agency such as RadioActive Media for many important reasons. First of all, a podcast ads agency has a pulse on the value of individual program buys across the universe of all available ad buy opportunities. Secondly, an agency has access to individual programs as a podcast agency, at a reasonable price, while approaching a network will require you to spread your ad buy across many different programs (some you may not really even want to advertise on and serve little value). And thirdly, agencies and higher ROI podcast advertising companies are more vested to your needs, which require more flexibility and communications than other ad networks and individual podcast sales departments are capable of providing.

The Power Of Podcasts
3 Advantages Of Podcast Advertising
Niche Markets
The penetration of podcast consumption in the US is around 15%. That’s in itself is solid, but it becomes much more impressive when you consider the focused audience reach they provide. This variety allows advertisers to focus in as tightly as they choose, reaching out to their core audience, or encroaching on a competitor’s turf.
Personal Pitch
While it’s possible to have a pre-recorded spot placed on a podcast, it’s far more effective to have the podcast host deliver a pitch themselves. Podcasts connect with people in a very direct, personal way, and the hosts can be perceived as a friend rather than a marketer. This personal connection means that advertising on podcasts doesn’t feel intrusive to the listener.
Tech Savvy Listeners
Podcast listeners are comfortable using technology. Though podcast platforms are user friendly – iTunes being a primary example – there still has to be a certain comfort level in order to do so. Though demographics often skew towards the young side, advertising on podcasts can be an excellent way to bring your message in front of a tech savvy, specific market with the funds to act on your call to action.
