WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE PODCAST WORLD
Podcast Ads Outperform CTV and YouTube, Study Shows

According to a study by digital audio consultancy Sounds Profitable, podcast advertising might be more effective than Connected TV (CTV) or YouTube. The research found that podcasts had better results in terms of purchase intent, brand awareness, and favorability. This is because listeners tend to pay more attention to ads on podcasts than viewers do on CTV or YouTube. This suggests that the money being redirected from traditional TV advertising could be better spent on podcast ads.
