Listen Later

At Marketecture Live, Peter Birsinger, Founder & CEO, Podscribe, with Matthew Drengler, Head of Partnerships, Podscribe, breaks down the current state of audio measurement and what the data really shows about podcast and streaming performance. From conversion benchmarks to ad formats and incrementality, this session reveals how brands can measure, optimize, and scale audio advertising like any other digital channel.

Takeaways

  • Audio is fully measurable today with real-time dashboards, attribution, and incrementality
  • Podcast ads often outperform streaming audio in conversion efficiency
  • Host-read ads deliver stronger performance and lower acquisition costs
  • Buying individual shows drives better engagement, but programmatic can balance cost
  • Earlier ad placement in episodes leads to higher conversion rates
  • Longer ads tend to perform better due to storytelling and host trust
  • Frequency caps are critical to avoid diminishing returns
  • Incrementality is key to understanding true performance beyond attribution
