Why Programmatic Audio Advertising?

Digital audio entertainment formats, including podcasts, music, radio, and audiobooks, are experiencing rapid growth, with the average podcast listener in the US spending 50 minutes per day tuned in. This screen-free entertainment’s popularity is here to stay. Advertisers should tap into programmatic audio to connect with a diverse and expanding audience through this emerging channel.

4 Benefits of Programmatic Audio
Advertising

  • Audio is an engaging format that listeners experience in full, fostering a deep connection with the content.
  • Allows you to fine-tune your targeting by focusing on specific genres, playlists, moments, and listener demographics, such as online behaviour.
  • Popular among digitally savvy millennials and Gen Z who are more likely to engage with and take recommendations from podcasts.
  • Audio is a powerful complement to other programmatic channels, so you can reach your listener everywhere they are.

Powerful Listener-Level Targeting

Leverage 1st-party data, lookalike targeting, and contextual targeting to deliver audio ads tailored to specific demographics, music and non-music genres, and locations.

Programmatic Audio: How to Reach Your Listeners

Audio Advertising FAQs

Programmatic audio combines the power of ads served on audio platforms with AI-driven ad-buying and targeting technology. Your ads will play in a screen-free audio environment while listeners stream content like podcasts, audiobooks, and music.

Leveraging AI technology takes this to the next level by identifying and purchasing audio ad inventory during the content your target audience is most likely to listen to.

Audio advertising offers marketers an opportunity to connect with listeners while they’re enjoying content they already love on various audio platforms, including audiobooks, podcasts, and streaming playlists. These ads tend to be more immersive and are retained more effectively by listeners, as they occur in a screen-free environment.

Unlike traditional radio, advertisers can leverage the same data as from other advertising channels like display, native, and CTV to target their customer. The result is an immersive audio experience powered by data-driven audience targeting.
