The Ultimate Guild to Podcast Ads
Podcasts currently reach over 42% of Americans every month, and that is projected to increase at least 5% in 2025!
With so many people listening to podcasts—and projected continued growth—there are more opportunities than ever to get your message in front of an audience who will listen.
And this new wave of advertising isn't going anywhere; podcast ads are set to climb exceeding $4 billion in revenue by 2025.
It's an excellent time to learn how to harness this medium whether you're a podcaster selling ad space, or a brand looking to promote your product. In this blog, we'll break down everything you need to know about podcast advertising and show you how to leverage different types of podcast ads for optimal results.
Why is podcast advertising effective?
One of the advantages of podcasts is their ability to produce highly tailored content and attract a highly engaged audience.
This heightened engagement leads to more opportunities for targeted, host-read ads that genuinely resonate with the listeners. These ads tend to generate two to three times the engagement of traditional radio advertising. Read More

Producing a trailer for your podcast has a significant advantage in terms of podcast discovery. Popular podcast apps like Apple Podcasts and Spotify highlight trailers in a unique way. When someone discovers a show from a search, Spotify places the trailer at the top, and Apple Podcasts puts the trailer above the author but below the episode list on the show page.
If you don’t see a trailer listed on your favorite podcast, it is simply because that podcast didn’t publish one. The apps react to what creators provide, so if one isn’t published, the app simply adjusts.
Due to their placement and shorter length, trailers are ideal for attracting new audiences. Listeners can quickly see if your content is something they want to listen to without scrolling through all your episodes or listening to an entire episode before clicking that follow button. Read More
