Audio Summit: Activating Audio to Drive Brand and Business Growth presented by Audacy

This event is over.

Is there an audio hole in your marketing plan? Are you leveraging audio to its full potential?

According to a 2021 study from WARC, consumers in the United States spend 31 percent of their total daily time with media listening to audio. The audio universe has exploded in recent years as online streaming services, online and satellite radio, podcasting, smart speakers, and AM/FM radio’s resiliency and ubiquity present more ways for consumers to connect more deeply with content they want, voices they trust, and brands they desire.

And audio works! In 2021 a study conducted by Nielsen Research for P&G, the largest audio advertiser in the U.S., found that across 15 brands adding audio to the mix increased monthly reach on average by more than 36 percent. Separately, dozens of sales lift studies across 14 different product categories also conducted by Nielsen reveal that audio delivers a $5.06 ROAS for CPG brands and a $14.74 ROAS for retail advertisers. Bottom line – in the marketing mix audio reaches and motivates new and under-delivered consumers at a lower CPM than TV, Video and Digital delivering more consumers, lower costs, and better results.

Whether you are new to the audio category or looking for innovative ways to drive better results, join us in this virtual half-day conference presented by Audacy. You’ll learn how successful advertisers are partnering with platforms across the audio landscape to create new and effective ways to drive brand resonance and business growth.

PODCASTS & BEYOND - THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL INFLUENCE OF AUDIO

Podcasts live at the intersection of culture and celebrity with hosts’ entertaining and influencing a captive audience of passionate fans with long-form storytelling format.  The followers of these influencer-hosts can’t get enough and want to extend their engagement well beyond the show.

Conan O’Brien’s Needs a Friend podcast in partnership with Chevrolet did just that by integrating new live formats, bonus content, social & video experiences, and more and the results of these integrations were incredible.   

As Americans tune-in and turn-up AUDIO, the incredibly powerful long-form influencer marketing of Podcasts can be your “Launch Pod” to developing highly engaging integrated, multidimensional campaigns.

INFLUENCER MARKETING THAT DRIVES TRUST, ENGAGEMENT & RESULTS

Influencer marketing campaigns that do not include radio influencers are missing a significant loyal fan base and followers. Radio personalities drive conversation, and engagement and keep consumers listening. They are the original social influencers who influence opinions and purchasing decisions among their audiences. Marketers will hear directly from radio’s influencers about how they connect with listeners and what it takes to create successful endorsement campaigns for brands.
