IAB Announces Podcast Measurement Updates
IAB Tech Lab, the global digital advertising technical standards-setting body, has announced the latest advancements in podcast measurement with the release of Podcast Technical Measurement Guidelines v2.2. The updates are now available for public comment, until March 23, and the Podcast Working Group invites all podcast companies and industry stakeholders to provide feedback within the next 30 days.
As the podcasting landscape continues to evolve, the need for enhanced metrics and improved filtering logic in server-side measurement becomes crucial. The primary objective of the Podcast Technical Measurement Guidelines v2.2 is to address the challenges faced in measuring downloads of the podcast audio file, where client-side confirmation of ad play is typically unavailable from the player apps that consumers use for listening to their favorite shows. This server-side measurement guidance published by IAB Tech Lab is unique in the industry, setting the gold standard for reliable and transparent podcast measurement.
“With the release of Podcast Technical Measurement Guidelines v2.2, IAB Tech Lab reaffirms its commitment to adapting to the dynamic technology and practices in the podcasting industry,” said Anthony Katsur, CEO, IAB Tech Lab. “We urge the entire podcast ecosystem to review the guidelines and actively participate in the feedback process. Your input is instrumental in shaping the future of podcast measurement and the growth of this valuable inventory for an audience that tends to be more deeply focused on the content.”

What's the difference between shows that double or triple their audience every year and those that struggle just to break even?
Are there specific tactics, marketing channels, or show attributes that contribute to the growth of these breakout shows?
And if so, what can you learn and apply to your show to accelerate your growth?
These are just a few of the questions I created the Podcast Marketing Trends Report to get to answer.
The Women's Podcast Industry Network exists to guide you further towards reaching YOUR next-level wherever you are in your journey and whatever it is you are working on while also creating opportunities for networking with high-achieving women & non-binary people doing the same.
We believe real growth and expansion happens when we come together, collaborate, and hold each other up.
From quarterly virtual networking events and in-person meet-ups (the latter coming soon) to weekly standing meetings that you can jump into with others to bounce your ideas off of someone new or share feedback or to just casually meet a new member. Learn More
🎙️💫 Podcasting is not just about having a great voice or interesting guests, it's about the willingness to constantly learn and evolve. 🌟💡
Successful podcasters know that the key to growth is implementation and reflection. 🔥
