Leverage your audience
Podcasting is about building a relationship with your listeners. It's what you've always been doing. Now it's time to get paid for it.
Advertisers pay a premium to reach engaged, receptive audiences. An audience like yours.
Accept direct offers
Turning on Captivate Marketplace showcases your show to thousands of advertisers. They can browse your podcast inventory and analytics, and make offers.
You can accept, decline, or counter the offer. Once you agree on a price, the ad will run for the agreed time or impressions, and then you’ll get paid. Easy!
Your Podcast, Total Control
You decide if you want ads. You decide how many ad slots you want. You decide if there are any categories of product you don’t want to be selling.
Your podcast is yours. We never make decisions for you.
Don’t leave money on the table
You’ll have a lot of ad slots across your podcast’s back catalogue, probably more than could be filled by direct sales alone. To fill those slots, you can enable Spot ads.
Either way, there's a payday.
