You might have already heard about the brand new Podigee Dynamic Ad Server? If not, no problem. This is not about the tool itself, but about what you can do with it.
Dear Podigee users: Today is a great day for the Podigee community and of course for us as the Podigee Team. We would like to announce to you the pricing model for the Podigee Dynamic Ad Server.
Podcasts have grown significantly in the last few years, gaining millions of listeners around the world. Thanks to the growth of this industry, companies, and brands are more and more interested in advertising in podcasts.
Starting with ads, promotions or sponsorships in podcasts can be challenging. First, of course, you need to find the right advertising partner. Once you have signed a deal, you need to figure out how and where to place the advertisement in your podcast.
Before Dynamic Ad Insertion, podcasts were generally monetized by adding baked-in ads to the audio. Pre-recorded or spoken by the hosts, they have been placed at very different points in a podcast episode. Not only the ad itself, but also the position of the ad can have an essential impact on the success of a campaign.
Podcast productions are becoming more and more complex. This is accompanied by an increase in the number of people involved with very different requirements and responsibilities. We are very proud that we can present a feature that allows you to manage roles and permissions for your users and podcasts - as simply as possible and as detailed as necessary - today.
What makes your podcast outstanding? What should be the first your listeners hear, when they are listening to the newest or one of your older episodes? You would like to introduce yourself or the podcast at the beginning of each episode, but you don't want to record it again and again? Make your life easier then and record an intro once and we will take care of everything else.
For all the users that appreciate and benefit from our Private podcasts feature, get ready to enjoy it even more! And for all those, who are not using them yet, two more arguments to try them out.
