Types of Podcasts Ads

As with all types of marketing, advertising on podcasts can fall into a few different classifications:

1. Production Style:

• Advertisers can either provide or generate pre-produced commercial spots, like customers have heard on the radio for decades, or they can have the podcast host read the advertisement themselves.

2. Insertion Type:

• Ads can be inserted dynamically into a podcast based on demographics and/or advertising targets, or they can be baked-in, where the podcast host makes them a permanent part of the show’s recording.

3. Sponsorship Options:

• Whether opting for a native ad or a larger, broader sponsorship opportunity, businesses with varying budgets have plenty of options available to them.
