Digital Radio advertising is ads that run anywhere on a digital audio platform. It can mean podcast advertising, digital music subscription advertising (Pandora, Spotify, SoundCloud), or digital radio streaming like iHeartRadio and SiriusXM.
We have extensive experience buying digital radio advertising, and one of our go-to products is Pandora Radio, owned by SiriusXM.
Here is a quick rundown of digital radio advertising features and how it’s a fantastic way to target your demographic strategically and an effective alternative to traditional radio advertising.
