Post-Roll

Ads where the Host Reads, either pre-recorded or live, your advertisement as part of the show. These can either be Pre-Roll, Mid-Roll, or Post-Roll. Mid-Roll typically is most effective yet most expensive. We provide podcast planning that places your messages where they will have the most impact.

Direct Response Marketing: Typically a sub-section of host-read, but generates impressions based upon a PROMO code, where one can track the number of listeners during a podcast campaign based upon guests who have used the code derived from the show. It is recommended that this PROMO code offers the savvier podcast listener an actual deal, is at least 6-8 weeks in length, and staggers throughout multiple episodes, not necessarily consecutively.

Pre-Roll
Typically Integrated at Very Beginning of a Show and 30 Seconds In Length. This method is less expensive than mid-roll but typically more effective than post-roll.
Mid-Roll
Typically the most effective given the seemingly most organic, likely unscripted nature. Ads can be 30-60 sec in length and highly customized  while integrated with the show.
Post-Roll Ads
Typically the least expensive host-read placement, placed at very end of a show for 30-60 sec.
Dynamic Insertion

A more broad-based solution that involves inserting a pre-recorded general ad that displays within a show. Once again, these can be pre-, mid, or post-roll, but many networks create an added strategy of displaying your ad in strategic geographic markets based upon listenership while keeping to your budget. In other words, two different podcast listeners of the same show at the same time in different geo-regions might hear a different ad based upon their target audience. The key advantage Pod-Frog’s podcast services use in Dynamic Insertion is Geo-Locating, targeting audiences in specific addressable markets or locations to grow your business in your desired region. We can consult with you to achieve the best possible results.
