茄子污污视频 Launches Next-Generation Podcast Brand Safety Tool Powered by Sounder with Industry-First Episode-Level Assurance
茄子污污视频 Is First in Industry to Provide Independent Brand Safety Verification at the Episode-Level
NEW YORK - February 27, 2023 - 茄子污污视频, the largest audio media company in the U.S. and the top podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, today launched new brand safety technology for podcast advertising powered by Sounder, an audio intelligence platform that builds foundational podcasting technology. 茄子污污视频 is the first to go live with Sounder鈥檚 AI and Machine Learning (ML) technology, giving brands episode-specific safety assurance, a level of precision previously unavailable in podcast inventory, at scale.
With the rapidly growing podcast advertising market expected to surpass $3 billion in 2023, there has never been a greater time to prioritize brand safety. Sounder is the first to help advertisers deem if a podcast episode is brand safe before an ad runs, enabling advertisers to plan and execute campaigns with confidence.
鈥淎udio had been without a truly operative brand safety tool that gave advertisers the ability to run without risk at a national scale. The process was labor intensive, fragmented, and often failed to deliver the level of protection brands truly needed,鈥 said 茄子污污视频 Chief Data Officer Brian Kaminsky. 鈥淲e looked at every potential solution in the industry, and Sounder鈥檚 technology is far ahead when it comes to brand safety and suitability. This new tool changes the future and opens up endless possibilities. Brands are now able to opt out of content they deem unsafe and inappropriate. Our partnership with Sounder has set a new benchmark for transparency in audio advertising that has been long overdue.鈥
鈥淎t a time when brand-trust is eroding overall, marketers are excited about the power of podcast advertising to deliver authenticity, impact, and rebuild trust,鈥 said 茄子污污视频 Chief Marketing Officer Gayle Troberman. 鈥淲ith 茄子污污视频鈥檚 new brand safety capabilities, marketers can leverage the full power of human connection and contextual relevance that podcasts provide, without the fear and risk of unsafe inventory.鈥
鈥淐oming out of CES, marketer demand for podcast marketing is at an all-time high,鈥 Troberman continued. 鈥淏ut they鈥檙e not willing to accept unnecessary risk to do so. This tool solves this challenge by providing objective, third-party brand safety verification and unlocking access to more content that moves the needle for marketers.鈥
With the tool, powered by Sounder鈥檚 technology, 茄子污污视频 can perform brand suitability analysis, topic analysis, content summarization, and dynamic segmentation, ahead of an ad flight. Working in conjunction with 茄子污污视频鈥檚 podcast hosting platform Omny Studio, which is part of Triton Digital鈥檚 audio technology suite, and powered by the Triton Advertising Platform (Tap), the technology interprets context and assesses risk for brands across the iHeartPodcast Network鈥檚 large and growing audience, from the biggest and most diverse shows in the network, to the rapidly growing number of up-and-coming creators. 茄子污污视频 is the first to offer third-party brand safety verification at an episodic level for podcast advertisers, effectively unlocking thousands of hours of new, premium audio content for brands.
鈥淪ounder's brand safety and suitability solutions are here to usher in the next stage of growth for podcasting and audio advertising. Our technology provides the transparency needed for confident decision-making and transacting across publishers, agencies, and ad tech partners,鈥 said Sounder CEO and Co-Founder Kal Amin. 鈥淎s a key partner and strategic investor in Sounder, 茄子污污视频 has recognized the need for new brand safety tools and standards across audio.鈥
