Podbean Launches “Start Advertising on Podcasts” Contest 2022!

Podbean is excited to announce our “Start Advertising On Podcasts” contest for 2022! 

Podcast advertising effectiveness to engage listeners and drive business continues to attract more advertisers. However, there is plenty of room to build more awareness for this effective medium.  Podbean’s Ads Marketplace makes it easy for advertisers to discover podcasts to run their ads on. It’s also simple for podcasters to sign their shows up and have advertisers select their shows to run their ads, allowing podcasters to easily monetize their podcast. 

We’re running this exciting contest for podcasters to put together a creative audio ad about podcast advertising and Podbean’s Ads Marketplace.  The goal is to let businesses and brands know they can easily start to advertise on podcasts via Podbean’s Ads Marketplace.  This is a chance to take your creativity and audio skills and make something amazing to build further awareness for podcast advertising…and potentially win some cool prizes!
