Performance Marketing Unlocked

Spotify reveals how audio ads can drive performance

Is audio advertising a viable performance marketing channel? The millions of Brits listening to music and podcasts everyday tell us there is certainly an active audience ready to be leveraged, but UK adspend indicates that marketers aren't yet sold on the medium.


To convince them otherwise, this episode of the Performance Marketing Unlocked podcast features Ed Couchman (20:19), Head of Sales for the UK and Northern Europe at Spotify. With over 626 million monthly active users, Ed believes Spotify represents why audio advertising is quickly becoming performance marketing's most underutilised advertising channel.


Like any good salesman, Ed brought his pitch along with him. From the medium's success in the US to Spotify Ads Manager's litany of case studies, even the most sceptical performance marketer will be hard-pressed to ignore audio's potential.


Opening the episode however, is PMW's News Reporter Reem Makari (2:56). Reem joined PMW from a podcasting background and famously adores the practice, so she jumped at the chance to go head-to-head with host Joe for some verbal jousting on why audio ads should demand more marketing dollars than alternative performance channels.


This podcast was hosted by PMW's Multimedia Editor, Joseph Arthur.
