Genuine Influence

“Voices
you can
trust”

Trust is a valuable asset in marketing today. The demand for genuine connections and authentic recommendations has never been greater. While social media influencer marketing continues to thrive, podcast advertising is ushering in a new era of influence.

Podcasts by their very nature are curated and intimate, creating a powerful bond between hosts and listeners. This handpicked quality fosters a sense of familiarity, as though listeners are sharing a personal conversation with a friend. Whether it’s hearing about a host’s latest TV binge or their favorite toothpaste brand, these moments create a deeply personal experience.

Podcast advertising offers authentic word-of-mouth marketing at scale, from voices you can trust. Brands investing in the channel can harness the genuine relationships that podcasters have with their audience, and even build their own.

There’s a new sound for influencer marketing, and it’s podcasting.

TRUST & INFLUENCE

Podcasters feel like friends

Brands looking to influence consumers effectively can invest in podcasts to build trust right from the start.

A host’s endorsement is like getting a recommendation from a friend. This parasocial relationship means that a podcast host’s endorsement can resonate more deeply than traditional advertising, cultivating a genuine sense of credibility and trust.
