Audio ads go mobile with streaming

Audio ads have a bad reputation: They can be blaring, never-ending, vaguely targeted and forgettable. Still, over 3 billion audio impressions per month are bought on digital streams across mobile, desktop and traditional radio. Radio audiences offer scale: A single digital stream had 3 million concurrent users at a given time.

Audio is mobile, and streaming radio has taken over the car.

With tools like post-listen attribution based on behavior later in the day after hearing an ad, audio advertising delivers scalable, measurable results.
