Streaming Audio Advertising

Reach listeners with a message built for the way they actually spend their day.

Ascent combines audience, geography, timing and strong audio creative so digital audio can be planned with more precision than broad traditional radio.

Audio can be memorable without being broad.

Traditional radio can be valuable, but many businesses need more control over who hears the message, where they are and how often the campaign runs. Streaming audio adds digital audience and geographic controls while preserving the advantage of a format people can consume while driving, working, exercising or moving through the day.

Review and refine

Evaluate reporting, adjust targeting or schedule and coordinate the audio with other channels in the media plan.
Strong audio starts with a strong reason to listen.

Your streaming team just got bigger.

We begin with the audience, campaign objective and message, then choose the targeting and schedule that support it. Strategy, media and creative specialists work together so the audio is not an afterthought. We monitor frequency and performance, explain what the reporting shows and connect audio to the rest of the campaign whenever a multi-channel approach makes sense.

What we can bring to the work.

Frequently asked questions.

Where can streaming audio ads run?

Inventory varies by platform and campaign. We select eligible digital audio placements based on audience, geography, budget and the buying options available at the time of the campaign.

Can you produce the audio ad?

Yes. Ascent can help with concept, script, voice and production so the creative is developed alongside the media strategy.

How is streaming audio different from radio?

Streaming audio can offer more digital control over audience, geography, schedule and reporting. Traditional radio and streaming audio can each have a role; the right choice depends on the market and objective.

Can streaming audio generate leads?

It can contribute to lead generation, but it often plays an awareness and consideration role. We connect the campaign to trackable landing pages, search behavior or other conversion paths whenever possible.

What budget do we need?

Budget depends on audience size, geography, campaign length, inventory and the frequency needed to make the message memorable. We recommend a level that gives the campaign enough reach and repetition to be meaningful.
