I started my podcast a year ago to educate brands on podcast ads and why our host-read ad format, which we have used since its inception, is the best and will always outperform all other podcast ad formats.

Why? Because at the center of that connection is the podcast host, whose familiar voice listeners trust. As podcast advertising grew - host-read ads became advertisers preferred format.

Brands need to be aware of their competition and decide whether to take on established clientele OR go after new business.

Today I am going to talk about the addition of DAI, Dynamic Ad Insertion, to our network TWiT.tv and the difference between it and host-read ads.
First, a little context. When the pandemic first hit in 2020, we lost 60% of our advertisers in two weeks. We quickly realized we were one-dimensional because we were an ad-supported network that only offered host-read ads.
Since 2020 we have added DAI, which means dynamic ad insertion, and we allow Advertisecast to sell our residual open audio inventory. We also diversified our host-read ad inventory by allowing agencies to book...2023-07-1402 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Brands Should Work Directly With Podcast Networks
Having been in podcasting business for several years, brands would benefit more if they worked directly with podcast networks because networks know what it takes to be successful and agencies who buy across thousands of podcasts do not implement the tools you need for a successful campaign - hence they waste brand money, while networks know how to position brands properly on their network & they save brands money. Here are four reasons why brands should buy direct.
Agencies do not implement ALL the tools to gauge podcast campaigns successfully - brands need to implement ad tech to gauge...2023-07-0802 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Podcasting Advertising Requires Patience
Having been in podcasting for 15 years, some agencies and brands do not understand that podcasting requires patience and you must be in for the long game to succeed. Here are three reasons why you need patience:
Podcasts are on demand, and hardly anyone simulcasts. TWiT.tv has been simulcasting for years as we do all of our shows "live to tape," which means you can watch our shows while we are recording episodes, and we do not bill our advertisers for our live stream, meaning a fan may see an ad viewing our live stream and we do...2023-06-3004 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)TWiT.tv Audience Testimonials
Last week I covered the importance of audience testimonials. Now I want to share what our fans say about our network.
"I have purchased several items advertised on the TWiT network. I buy them because I trust Leo Laporte and his team's knowledge of the latest in technology. If Leo supports it, I know I can trust it."
"I have bought and/or subscribed to a number of products and services over the years as a result of ads on TWiT network shows. The ads are thoughtfully done, and the trust the network has built with its...2023-06-2302 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Audience Testimonials And Why They Matter At TWiT.tv
Last week I covered the importance of building trust with your audience, and previously I have dived into sponsor testimonials. Today I want to focus on audience testimonials.
Here are 3 reasons why they matter on our network.
Being a tech podcast network, our number one focus is catering to our audience and delivering the best content and expertise that we possibly can to super-serve them. Because of this, 99% of our audience listens to every podcast episode they download from our network. They love our content and let us know with reviews, emails, tweets, etc., helping us...2023-06-1601 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Trust And The TWiT.tv Audience
When Leo Laporte, the founder of TWiT.tv established our podcast network in 2005 - he did so with his tech audience in mind. He chose to treat them with respect and full transparency and to deliver them the best tech news and analysis he could with other trusted expert hosts. When he decided to pivot and become ad-supported, he remained true to his original mission & applied the same attitude to sponsors.
Here are 5 reasons why building trust with our audience has helped our sponsors.
We vet ALL sponsors to ensure they have high integrity and trusted...2023-06-0901 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Setting Podcast Advertising Expectations
Having worked in the podcast industry for fifteen years at TWiT.tv, we provide brands with expectations when purchasing podcast advertising on our network. Brands need expertise if they are going to succeed in this space, and sales leaders need to communicate these four points to brands before signing IOs.
Podcast ads are on demand, meaning they are recorded and then released to the public to download and listen to at their leisure. Brands must allow 8 weeks before gaining traction from one podcast ad. These are not radio, TV, or banner ads that people see immediately. Podcast ads...2023-06-0202 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Best Practices For Brands When Buying Podcasts
Having worked in the podcast industry for fifteen years at TWiT.tv and overseeing sales for most of it, I want to provide brands with an outline of best practices when advertising on podcasts because I have learned that all traditional ad agencies ignore them entirely - which is where brands lose. Brands need expertise if they are going to succeed in podcast advertising. I recommend taking it in-house and buying directly from podcast networks that understand how campaigns work.
Here are four things you need to know about buying podcasts if you have already determined the...2023-05-2604 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Podcast Advertising Effectiveness
Having overseen podcast ad sales for over a decade, here at TWiT, we know how to properly implement podcast campaigns on our network. Here are the top four tools you should use to properly gauge your podcast campaigns.
Use ad-tech, such as Podsights, Claritas, or Podscribe, to properly gauge attribution. These providers will include a tracking pixel in the podcast feed and a tracking pixel on your website. Then the ad tech company can track who downloaded a podcast episode with an ad in it, and they track that IP address for 60 days to see if they visited...2023-05-1902 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Sales Tip - Communicate with the CMO and CSO To Maximize Campaign Results
I have worked in all aspects of C-level positions over my 35+ year career with an emphasis in accounting, finance, growth, partnerships, biz dev, media, and sales - I prefer to work with partners who bring their marketing and sales leaders to the first strategy meeting. And here are my top 3 reasons why this will maximize campaign results.
I find it common at several companies for their sales and marketing teams to have different agendas and not be fully aligned in working on the same goals, or they are just too busy to communicate regularly. It always baffles me...2023-05-1202 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)What Brands Should Do In Uncertain Times
Brand marketing is an easy target that CMOs face pressure to minimize in times of uncertainty. Since the explosion of inflation last year, major cuts in the tech sector, the Russian/Ukrainian war, and the escalating political issues in the US and frankly everywhere. Brands are struggling to make decisions, and marketing is the first place they cut. CMOs resist cutting their budgets because how else do you expect to remain relevant and meet long-term goals if you are not marketing your brand?
Research indicates that reducing brand marketing budgets in downturns backfires, and the minimal savings...2023-05-0502 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Understanding Your Clients Goals
The entire job of a salesperson, or here at TWiT, we refer to our clients as partners, so the entire job of a partnership person is to be the guide and help partners achieve their growth goals. Therefore understanding your partners needs is critical before you start working with them.
Here is the list of 10 questions you need to ask before signing a new partner to a campaign:
Understand what the partner wants to promote.
Who do they want to reach - job title?
Company size and industry?
What advertising has worked before, what hasn't? And...2023-04-2802 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)TWiT.tv Has Simulcasted Its Pods Since 2009
After attending the Podcast Movement in Las Vegas, I discovered that partners and agencies are finally into simulcasting. And lucky for us, TWiT.tv has been simulcasting all of its pods starting in 2009, well before YouTube became a household name and TikTok wasn't even a thought.
And when I say TWIT.tv simulcasts - I mean, it's way more than YouTube, as most of our video downloads are outside of this platform. Because we've been simulcasting for years, we can show off our partners products and services. We can show off websites, how we use a particular...2023-04-2101 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Sought After IT Skills & How TWiT.tv Can Help
Today I want to talk about the IT job explosion. LinkedIn's Opportunity Project recently produced 2023's Most In-Demand Hard Skills List.
Here are the top 10: Software Development, SQL, Finance, Python, Java, Data Analysis, JavaScript, Cloud Computing, Operations, and CRM (Customer Relationship Management).
In the current economic climate, every business is either a tech firm or a tech-enabled company, whether they admit it or not. Thus, maintaining your technical skills is crucial. Tech skills are the most widely sought-after quality across industries; according to LinkedIn statistics, skill sets for professions worldwide have changed by about 25% since 2015...2023-04-1402 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Audience's Listening Habits on TWiT.tv - Audience's Listening Habits on TWiT.tv
In previous episodes, I have mentioned our qualified audience, which is highly technical and full of lifelong learners.
From our 2023 survey reaching over 10K fans, 99% of the TWiT audience listens to most or all of our podcast episodes, while 85% listen to ALL of our podcast episodes. The reason why our fans stick around is that the content is king, and the content of our shows is the #1 reason our fans come to us. The number 2 reason is that they want to hear from our trusted hosts. Because of this, our fans stick around for entire episodes of...2023-04-0702 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)TWiT's Audience Metrics from 2023 Survey - TWiT's Audience Metrics from 2023 Survey
TWiT's audience is highly qualified. 72% are age 25 - 54, 85% made a purchase based on a TWiT ad, and 99% listen to most or all of the podcasts.

I want to talk about another sponsor who originally signed to our network in 2007 and only left at the end of 2022 because Audible fired their agency again. It takes time to connect with the new one, especially because Amazon owns Audible now. I anticipate we will get them back because we cater to life-long learners - 78% of our audience are college graduates or hold advanced degrees. Plus, why would Audible be on our network for 16 years if we didn't deliver results? Clients only renew YOY if they work.
Some of the longest interstitial ads on our network...2023-03-2401 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)B2C Campaign - Ford Case Study
I want to speak to the impact we make when we sign brands to our network, especially expensive B2C products like a car. 70% of our audience makes over $100K a year, and 26% make over $200K yearly. We cater to an affluent audience, and our host-read ads work.
When Ford came to our network to promote their car technology, they signed up for a one-year campaign because they were one of the first to put tech in their cars. They chose our network because we were one of the largest independent tech podcast networks around. We had...2023-03-1701 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Tracking Your TWiT.tv Campaign
Unlike radio and TV ads, the full impact of every podcast ad dropped on our network takes 8 weeks to reach its fullest impact. Here are the 3 reasons why - #1 You have to give the audience time to download the episode, #2 You have to give them time to listen to the episode, and #3 You need to provide them with time to act on the ad read.
We place our partners on our sponsor page, show episode page, and in the RSS feed episode description. Direct partners also receive social media and newsletter promotion, and ALL partners receive over-delivery...2023-03-1002 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Dynamic Ads versus Host-Read Facts #2
I want to continue from last week's episode and do a deeper dive into why host-read ads in a podcast are more impactful than dynamically inserted ads. This is my 2nd podcast covering this topic, and I plan to do more because the difference is substantial.
First, who truly listens to 30 or 60-second dynamically inserted ads when listening to a podcast? I don't, all podcast players have skip features, and since the ad is read by some random person that I don't care about, I immediately skip the ads because it's easy.
Ads longer than...2023-03-0302 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Dynamic Ads versus Host-Read Facts #1
I've been reading about podcast advertising and its decline since its boom in the pandemic. A record number of podcasts launched and monetized during the pandemic, and several are closing now that it's over. Actors, athletes, and anyone stuck at home, the entire world, launched a podcast during COVID, and now there is a downturn as people are realizing that podcasting takes time, commitment, an audience, and hosts who have something to say that have an audience who wants to hear from.
Our network, TWiT.tv, was established in 2005, and today we have 13 ad-supported podcasts and 15 ad-free...2023-02-2403 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)TWiT.tv - Ad Copy Pointers
Let's talk about advertising copy. TWiT.tv provides a full-service continuity team that includes ad copywriting. However, many of our partners choose to supply us with their internal ad copy. Often, these copies are mass-produced and not tailored to our highly qualified audience, which causes them to fall flat in conversions. Our audience is curious and willing to try. We know something needs to be corrected when numbers show that our listeners are visiting sponsors websites but failing to sign up or make a purchase. We modify ad copy to highlight the most important features while including the why...2023-02-1702 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)TWiT.tv Campaign Results - Offer Codes & Landing Pages
We understand that sales teams want to work with ad partners that deliver the most value for every impression. When a potential sponsor approaches us, it's almost always with a prior understanding of how we position ourselves alongside them. Our sponsors know our network, listen to our shows, and want to connect with our audience.
You've heard it before; we frequently use the term "partners" because we look at each sponsor as a partnership, not only for the mutual benefit of our organizations but to benefit our audience. Because our fans are tech-savvy and security-focused, they expect...2023-02-1002 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)TWiT.tv's Annual Survey - It Works! - TWiT.tv's Annual Survey - It Works!
Here at TWiT.tv, we do not invade our audiences' privacy like Google, Facebook, Apple, Spotify, and the rest of the tech world. We rely on an annual survey to allow our audience to contribute information to us instead of tracking them to find out who they are because we want to respect our fans.
It's not rocket science why podcasts have begun to dominate the media landscape. Podcasts are readily available and accessible to anyone with a listening device; most people can multitask while listening, and, most importantly, podcasts build community. And if anyone knows about...2023-02-0302 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Sales Tip - How To Keep Clients Happy
When we think of keeping people happy, we have a tendency to overthink it. The same thing applies to your clients. It's not as complicated as you might think, but there are some important things to consider. Here are six steps to keeping your clients happy.
Present Clear Terms and Expectations. When starting out the relationship between yourself/your company and your client, it's important to be clear about what you offer. For example, someone will generally not be pleased if they expect a yacht and get a canoe. This is an extreme example, but the point is...2023-01-2702 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)TWiT's Two Ad Model Instead of One - TWiT's Two Ad Model Instead of One
TWiT.tv has been an ad-supported network for over 17 years, and when we first took on advertising in 2007, we adopted a two-ad-read model versus a one-ad-read model for all of our shows. Our ad format is as follows: each show episode has two ad positions for each sponsor - first is the host-read billboard (typically 10 - 15 seconds) and second is a host-read interstitial ad (typically 1-2 minutes and can be longer). Flash forward to 2023 - we still use this model today, and this is why:
We adopted the two-ad model because we paid for testing different formats...2023-01-2003 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Sales Tip - Sales Is All About Relationships
Here are five steps for building successful relationships:
Bring integrity to your relationships - it's about focusing entirely on your client's needs and being part of their solution. Ask questions - Do they want to fill their pipeline with new business? Are they trying to get a new product out in the world? Are they trying to capture market share? Set aside your voice and listen to their needs.
Always take selling out of your first meeting - make it a discovery call & do your research about them and their company. Ask about existing and past advertising campaigns...2023-01-1302 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Overview of the TWiT.tv Campaign Process
Campaign Launches - The first ad drops live on air & published after the episode is edited and reviewed by our Continuity Team. The ad is updated in the reporting doc within 24 hours after posting the episode for viewing/listening. Impressions are updated every Friday until the end of the following month. The full impact of one ad takes 0 - 8 weeks.
Campaign Updates - Ad copy can be updated weekly and/or by the show. We recommend sticking with one CTA throughout the entire campaign to build trust with the audience - ROI will be higher. Continuity will check your website...2023-01-0603 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Podcast Ad Tech Case Studies - Online Learning

The first campaign was for an online learning company focused on growing its B2B business. It was a B2B branding campaign looking to sign large enterprises. The total spend was $215,960.
