In every market there are power users - the smaller number of consumers who account for a high degree of demand. In the podcasting space, we call them 'Super Listeners,' These are the people most likely to hear podcasting ads and to really have an opinion about them - how do podcast consumers react to advertising? How do they feel about the role of ads and commercial messages in the content they love? To find out, PodcastOne and Edison Research have produced the first Super Listeners study.
Spoiler alert: Super Listeners are highly receptive to ads, the ads work, and they change purchase behavior and brand perception. But the data is not without a warning to the industry. Watch the on-demand webinar to learn more.
