On the Mic

Some of 2022's hottest audio topics included brand safety, contextual targeting, making podcasting a top tier player, and creative strategy. As we close out our 2022 On the Mic season, we thought it best to end on a subject that could potentially present a creative option for each of these topics: Programmatic Ad Buying.

In today's episode, Lindsay Smith sits down with Bryan Barletta of Sounds Profitable fame and Jordan Bentley, Founder of Audiohook, to discuss how programmatic ad buying works, the evolutions in the technology, and why we shouldn't be afraid to embrace this emerging tech.

Best practices have a tendency to rule our life, even if you don’t always notice them. There’s the best way to load the dishwasher. There’s the best way to compose an email. There’s the best way to approach an advertising campaign…

But what if what we consider to be best practices are actually hindering us? Utilizing a “one size fits all” approach puts a limit on critical thinking and creativity and when it comes to advertising and creator content, what’s good for the goose definitely isn’t always good for the gander.

In this episode of On the Mic, host Lindsay Smith is joined by Creative Director, Tony Carnevale, and Associate Account Director, Andrea Schwarzbach to discuss best practices, when they’re appropriate, and when we should toss them out the window.

We all have systems and research data that we can safely rely on to craft compelling advertising campaigns, but have you ever seen an approach and wondered “how did that idea work?!”
