The short answer

What the archive says

01Podcast advertising fits small-to-medium and niche brands; mass brands still struggle because you'd need to be on 7,000 podcasts to match the reach of 12 country radio stations. source →

02Expect audio-native advertising on platforms like Clubhouse - influencers doing in-room product mentions that work like podcast ad reads instead of visual ads. source →

And I think there's a lot of beauty bloggers that are making a ton of money on that thing right now because all they have to do is show, if they're on YouTube doing it, make it a TikTok. If you're already making the content, make it a TikTok. I think there's a big opportunity for brands there to work with people and collaborate to.

Right. Because like the problem is, if you're a small to medium sized brand, advertising on this makes sense because, or you don't have to have tons of customers, you just need to niche customers, make sense with podcasting.
