High Conversion Rates

Podcast audiences are loyal and trust the brands they hear about. In fact, 79% of Evergreen listeners have made a purchase after hearing an ad. One concern some brands have, especially with political podcasts, is aligning with polarizing viewpoints. But here’s the thing—podcast audiences choose shows that match their values. If your brand aligns with a podcast’s message, you’re reaching an audience that resonates with your viewpoint. If neutrality is key, choose an objective show.
