The brief:
In the past, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK ran audio ad campaigns targeting Spotify Free music listeners with our self-serve advertising platform, Ad Studio, to great success. They were excited to test our newest self-serve ad placement, podcast advertising, as a brand awareness driver for their junk removal service.
The solution:
As avid podcast listeners themselves, the team behind TWO MEN AND A TRUCK saw the value in aligning their brand with trusted voices and showing up in an environment where audiences are tuned in.
“We know more and more people listen to podcasts, and those podcast listeners are really focused on the content,” said Greg Kohler, the Digital Advertising Lead of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK. “And as a podcast listener myself, I like hearing ads—I know they’re supporting the creator too.”
Podcast ads were a new format for TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, but Ad Studio’s easy-to-use platform made their campaign creation and management a seamless process. “The experience of booking podcast advertising was so similar to what I expected from running previous Ad Studio campaigns, and it made it clear and easy to get started with this new medium,” Greg told us.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK also worked with the Ad Studio team to develop and produce the creative for this campaign. We wrote a script, recorded, and mixed the approved ad for free based on the brand’s creative brief.

“The process of submitting the brief was super easy,” said Greg. “We got it back quickly; we were so pleased with how it turned out.” Having Spotify handle this aspect of the process was a welcome time-saver. For other channels, the brand builds out their audio ad themselves from start to finish.
