The costs associated with audio advertising can vary depending on factors such as ad inventory availability, targeting options, ad formats, ad length, and the demand for specific audiences or content. Audio advertising can be priced on a CPM (Cost Per Thousand Impressions) or a fixed-rate basis, and the overall costs should be assessed based on the campaign goals and expected returns.
Traditional radio relies on broad station-based and estimated audience demographics, making it difficult to precisely target or measure true performance. Streaming audio ads leverage first-party data and digital measurement to reach specific, high-intent audiences and connect listens to real downstream actions like site visits, searches, and conversions.
The biggest difference for advertisers between streaming audio and traditional radio comes down to precision and accountability. Traditional radio buys reach by station and time slot. You're paying to reach everyone listening, even if they're not in-market for a product or service. Measurement is largely modeled, making it difficult to know which ads actually influenced sales. Streaming audio through a demand side platform allows advertisers to target real shoppers based on first-party behaviroral signals, such as recent vehicle research, service-related browsing, past purchases, and lifestyle events. In short, streaming audio delivers awareness plus actionable performance data and targeting.
