Sonnant, the AI powered audio data and monetisation platform, and Podcast Db, a 2.6 million strong searchable podcast database have joined forces. Now that these data driven giants are partnering, advertisers and brands will be able to find contextually suitable and safe advertising wherever podcast content exists.
Tony Simmons, CEO of Sonnant, says “We have spoken with advertisers and brands all over the world. They want to spend money in audio, and podcasting in particular as a complementary, essential marketing channel. But big shows are sold out, or too expensive, smaller shows (or the long tail) are too abundant and hard to strike deals with each show. So, that money isn’t realized in the audio industry. Collectively, we will provide advertisers, of all shapes and sizes, a seat at the table”
