Enhances Brand Safety Measures with ComScore Technology
PITTSBURGH, PA / ACCESSWIRE / October 4, 2023 / Today, Liberated Syndication Inc. ("Libsyn"), the leading all-in-one podcasting platform for creators and advertisers, announced its September 2023 Podcast Advertising Rates, including the highest and most accessible CPM categories, and touched on advancements in its brand safety and suitability targeting solutions.
The Podcasting Advantage: Building Brand Trust & Safety
Podcast advertising elevates consumers' brand awareness, sparking curiosity, driving engagement, and boosting their interest in making a purchase from that brand's products or services, according to Nielsen's 'Podcasting Today' report. This is driving home why brands are increasingly choosing podcasts as a medium for advertising, but they want to ensure brand safety and protection of their reputation across such digital audio campaigns.
That's why Libsyn is committed to prioritizing brand safety for its advertisers. The Company's AdvertiseCast marketplace leverages ComScore technology to scan and analyze the transcripts of individual podcast shows within the marketplace, enabling contextual profiling of their audio inventory. These integrated components work seamlessly together to score shows, empowering brands to ensure ad placement safety and suitability.
Dave Hanley, Chief Revenue Officer of Libsyn's AdvertiseCast, affirms, "Our advanced brand safety and suitability solutions prioritize advertisers' peace of mind. Through our AdvertiseCast marketplace, we utilize ComScore technology to meticulously analyze podcast show transcripts, enabling contextual profiling and show scoring. This commitment ensures brands can confidently navigate the digital audio landscape."
