Then, we’re onboarding podcasts to list their ad offering directly in the marketplace, so we create the Fiverr for podcast sponsorships: Podvertise.fm is a peer2peer podcast sponsorships advertising marketplace helping brands, influencer agencies, and podcast hosts to build ROI partnerships.
Tell us a customer success story of yours.
Nedko M. Nedkov: We’ve had both publishers and advertisers who’ve found each other through our platform without our assistance. This is the most powerful feature of our marketplace – to connect both sides to build long-term partnerships.
Your final thoughts.
Nedko M. Nedkov: About 64% of all podcast sponsorships are host-read. Same time there is no marketplace with openly accessible pricing & podcast reach & audience details where advertisers and marketing agencies can access that info and make direct deals. This is what we’re trying to build – a simplified media planner & openly accessible marketplace. Podvertise.fm will fill up the gap and bring democratization for small podcasts to have the same access to advertising & sponsorship budgets as the top podcasts.
