Fully understand how podcasts represent an attractive advertising opportunity for brands.
 | | The Podcast Report | | Here is the roadmap for how brands and marketers can own the future of audio… News broke earlier today that BuzzFeed News is closing down its in-house podcast production team. The decision will put an end to several BuzzFeed podcasts, including "The News," "Say Something," and "Reporting To You."
That decision could come back to haunt the company, as podcasts are exploding as the go-to audio medium in the US.
As audiences for traditional media shrink, a growing number of US consumers are tuning into podcasts. Twenty-six percent of US consumers over age 12 now listen to podcasts on a monthly basis, up from just 12% five years ago.
And more brands are beginning to advertise on podcasts, not only due to the medium's growing audience but also because many listeners tend to be relatively wealthy and young. Moreover, listeners are more receptive to ads on podcasts than ads on other forms of media: 55% of US respondents aged 18 years and older reported either always or sometimes paying attention to ads on podcasts, per a September 2017 WNYC study, versus radio (45%), TV (44%), music streaming services (41%), and online video ads (34%).
