The Agile Brand with Greg Kihlström®


Much is made about the creative decisions in ads for the Big Game, but how does all that money, those requisite celebrity cameos, and everything else that goes into these multi-million dollar investments translate into Return on investment? Today we’re going to talk about what the numbers tell us from all those high-profile ads and who the winners and losers of the Advertising Bowl are in 2025. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome Nataly Kelly, CMO at Zappi, who unveiled their annual Super Bowl Ad Success report on Monday. We’re here to talk about the approach, the results, and what those results mean for brands that invested a lot of money - and time - into their campaigns. About Nataly Kelly I help companies unlock global growth For more than two decades, I have helped scale businesses across borders, as an executive at B2B SaaS and MarTech companies. I’m Chief Marketing Officer at Zappi, a consumer research platform.

After last year’s Podnews Report Card highlighted the difficulty of submitting a show to Apple Podcasts, Apple has fixed things - rolling out a new, streamlined, process to automatically submit a show for creators using selected podcast hosts. It removes the requirement to open an Apple account first. The launch podcast hosts are: Audioboom, Audiomeans, Ausha, Blubrry, Buzzsprout, Captivate, Castos, Hubhopper, Libsyn, Pinecast, Podbean, Podspace and Transistor. Creators can then claim their show in Apple Podcasts Connect at a later date, should they want to. There is a new, streamlined process for that, using a token to place in your RSS feed. The new process also handles transferral of podcasts from one account to another. The existing method of submitting a show isn’t going away, if you’re on other hosts. The clarity of responses to the Podnews Report Card last year was clear - with creators and publishers saying the Apple Podcasts submission process was “awfully complicated” with “too many hoops”, that the account requirement was “ridiculous and unnecessary”, and that it was particularly bad for “people who are new to podcasting”. We shared all the responses with Apple last year, and are delighted to see significant change, which should benefit the entire industry. Please, if you’ve not yet done it, complete the Podnews Report Card this year : and who knows what we can accomplish this time around. Edison Research released the Top 25 Podcasts in the UK for Q4/2024. News podcasts did well this quarter, which included the US Presidential Election. The BBC has the most titles in the list overall, though Goalhanger Podcasts has three shows in the top 5. > > > Read more of today’s podcast industry news stories on the Podnews website : and get our free daily newsletter.

There are more ads in podcasts than ever, says Magellan AI, which released its Quarterly Benchmark Report for Q4/2024 . Average advertiser ad load increased over 20% year-on-year (but is still significantly less than broadcast radio, we’d add). The data shows a y-on-y ad-spend increase of 19%; and a 10% q-on-q increase in the number of brands advertising on podcasts. AIR released its 2025 Rate Guide , with updated benchmark freelance rates for producers, sound designers, story editors, fact-checkers, and researchers in the US audio industry.

Trusted by top podcasters and brands like Tim Ferriss, Ali Abdaal, and Spotify, it’s their go-to creation platform. Try Riverside today and grow your podcast! First look: Branded podcasts work - listeners like the brand more after listening to a branded podcast - shows that both keep their attention and that they would recommend to others. That’s the finding of the new 2025 Benchmark Report on Branded Podcasts released today by Signal Hill Insights. The research, based on survey responses from more than 15,000 podcast listeners, gives a number of strong reasons why brands should be investing more in podcasts. First look: SiriusXM has just announced that it is to expand its SiriusXM Podcasts+ premium subscription to Spotify, YouTube Music, and other podcast apps via SupportingCast. “This expansion brings SiriusXM Podcasts+ benefits – including ad-free listening to new episodes, exclusive bonus content, and early access to new episodes of popular shows – to all major podcast platforms.” (You can also subscribe directly with Apple Podcasts ).

Trusted by top podcasters and brands like Tim Ferriss, Ali Abdaal, and Spotify, it’s their go-to creation platform. Try Riverside today and grow your podcast! Spotify shared some creator earnings from the first month of the Spotify Partner Program. “Hundreds of podcast creators surpassed $10,000 in monthly revenue”, the company said, but also gave three specific examples of January earnings. We’re All Insane earned more than $17,000. (An advertising planning tool that Podnews has access to suggests that this show does 579,000 downloads a month overall.) Kinda Funny Gamescast made over $10,000. (This show, we think, gets 124,000 downloads a month overall.) Your Mom’s House with Christina P. and Tom Segura and 2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer , two podcasts from YMH studios, saw combined earnings of more than $105,000. (These shows may do a total of 6.5mn downloads a month). So, is this doing better than advertising? Podnews analysis suggests that We’re All Insane is achieving $29 CPM; Kinda Funny $80 CPM; and YMH is doing $16 CPM. However, total download numbers are from all platforms, not just Spotify. Should Spotify account for 50% of total consumption, of course, you can double those CPM numbers. And baked-in advertising is still fine within these shows, so this is additive revenue. Spotify was also keen to highlight the growth in consumption that video gives: We’re All Insane claims a 6x consumption increase in total hours year-on-year; Kinda Funny and the YMH Studios shows around 22% month-on-month. The company adds: “The top 20 video podcasts eligible for the Spotify Partner Program have seen an average 24%+ growth of consumption. Overall, video podcast consumption on Spotify is up more than 20% since the program’s launch.” Some other detail: Within Spotify for Creators, participants can see the sources of their revenue with ad-supported (streams) and premium (share). (Wouldn’t it be fun if you wanted to share some with us?) Spotify promised videos would be “uninterrupted by ad breaks”. At the time, we wrote that it would be “uninterrupted and ad-free”, but we got that wrong: Spotify Premium users see unskippable ads at the beginning and end of video content: they’re just not interrupted by video ad mid-rolls. > > > Read more of today’s podcast industry news stories on the Podnews website : and get our free daily newsletter.

Exclusive: Amazon’s Wondery has closed its operations in Mexico and in Brazil. Podnews understands that the closure was announced in a short staff meeting earlier this week. Those impacted include Sarah Barrett , the company’s Head of Mexico Podcast Content. It comes the same week as some of Wondery Mexico’s shows were nominated for the Ondas Globales awards; and the LATAM units own a successful YouTube page with more than 500,000 subscribers. Amazon tells Podnews: “After a careful review of our priorities and customers’ needs, we’ve made the difficult decision to close Wondery’s Brazil and Mexico original content operations. This decision wasn’t made quickly or easily, and we remain committed to developing immersive storytelling and audio content for audiences.” A raw download figure doesn’t tell you whether those listeners are new, or returning. Are they people who listened once and swore to never again listen? Or are you not reaching new audiences at all? Bumper has worked out how to calculate new vs returning listeners, using first-party data within the Apple and Spotify dashboards. That data will be added to the Bumper Dashboard soon (which we reviewed last August .) If you’re curious, here’s a graph showing how the Podnews Weekly Review performs on Spotify, using weekly figures. No idea what we did in mid June.

Acast has posted its first year in profit , according to the company’s financial year-end report. The full report claims a 19% net sales growth for 2024, and an EBITDA profit of $2.2mn. Total listens were down 13% in 2024, which the company attributes to Apple’s changes in iOS 17 . In Q4/2024, net sales grew by 17% overall, with sales in North America growing by 33%. However, the number of listens was down by 8% in the quarter: Acast say this is because the BBC left Acast’s network for Triton Digital . The BBC left in late November, so expect a further decrease of listens in Q1. The UK itself is a “challenging market” according to CEO Ross Adams (though Acast didn’t represent the BBC there). Netflix wants to get into video podcasts , according to Business Insider . It reportedly tried to hire Alex Cooper last year.

Edison Podcast Metrics released the top US podcasts for Q4/2024. The “podcast election”’s effect was visible, as Theo Von ’s show rose three spots to #5, and Pod Save America rose to #10; conservative talk shows have also done well. Talk Tuah with Hailey Welch debuted at #11: her last show was in mid December focusing on “how to avoid getting cancelled”, just days before her crypto coin crashed in value, and she cancelled herself . Alphabet, the parent company of Google and YouTube, released its Q4/24 results. The CEO Sundar Pichai said: “YouTube continues to be the leader in streaming watchtime and podcasts” - which many say is the first time podcasts have been mentioned in Google’s financial results. YouTube ads grew 13% to $10.4bn for the quarter (which included the US election). Transistor has released a new page template for its podcast website tool.

Trusted by top podcasters and brands like Tim Ferriss, Ali Abdaal, and Spotify, it’s their go-to creation platform. Try Riverside today and grow your podcast! Spotify released its Q4/24 financial figures. 2024 was the company’s first full year of profitability (posting net profit of €1.14bn (US $1.18bn). Revenue grew 16% year-on-year to €4.2bn ($4.3bn). There are now more than 330,000 video podcasts, and 270 million people have streamed one, says the company. Chris Petersen has also taken a look at the numbers . A claim we reported on yesterday from the Australian Podcast Report “requires additional context and clarification”, says CRA, the Australian commercial radio industry body, following queries by Podnews. We carry statements from CRA and Triton Digital ; and give our own take: not least, CRA gave us quite a different response the first time we asked. “ Music publishers are asking Spotify to remove thousands of unlicensed songs from podcasts on its platform ”, reports the Wall Street Journal , claiming the number is around 2,500. The story adds: “Spotify said it reached out to NMPA ... and asked for details, but didn’t receive any response.” Spotify has always removed shows with whole music tracks, irrespective of licensing. But here’s how you can use commercial music in your show . > > > Read more of today’s podcast industry news stories on the Podnews website : and get our free daily newsletter.

Trusted by top podcasters and brands like Tim Ferriss, Ali Abdaal, and Spotify, it’s their go-to creation platform. Try Riverside today and grow your podcast! Americans listen to audio for almost four hours every day, and almost one-in-five hours listening to ad-supported audio is listening to a podcast. The data is released by Nielsen today in the company’s 2024 Quarterly Audio Report , including data from Edison Research. Commercial radio gets a 67% share of ad-supported audio. For those aged 18-34, podcasts are even more popular, taking up almost a third of all time spent listening to ad-supported audio. Positive numbers, but ones that show how much growth is possible. 48% of 18-34s in Australia listen to podcasts every month, according to new data - and podcast listeners are listening to more shows. The 2024 Australian Podcast Report was released today , released by Australian commercial radio industry body Commercial Radio & Audio. The report, though, needs to be read with caution, since it relies heavily on data from the Triton Digital Podcast Ranker, which only lists participating publishers. One claim in the press release , quoted by Lizzie Young, CRA’s CEO, is that “63% of podcasts are achieving more than 100,000 average monthly downloads in 2024”. That simply isn’t true: based on our analysis, this number comes from the top 200 participating shows in the ranker (where, for example, in December, 139 of the 200 listed shows achieved more than 100,000 downloads - about 70%.) Most podcasts will achieve significantly less than this. Additionally, the report claims that total average monthly listeners in 2024 increased 8.5% year-on-year, but these are numbers for participating publishers, and as the small print notes, “numbers will increase as new publishers join”. The ABC joined in Dec 2023. The CRA wasn’t able to respond to us by press time. Other Australian data includes the Deadset Studios PodPoll 2024 , released in September. mowPod Charts is a new replacement to Chartable’s chart ranking tool. “Forever-free”, the tool contains historic data, email notifications, and doesn’t require an account. > > > Read more of today’s podcast industry news stories on the Podnews website : and get our free daily newsletter.

One of the UK’s biggest podcasts, Sh**ged Married Annoyed has signed with Adelicious . The show was with Acast, and joins other Avalon shows from Russell Howard and Frank Skinner on the podcast network. The award-winning show has spawned a book, a TV chat show, and had two live arena tours (including selling out Wembley SSE Arena and the O2). The Podcast Business Journal interviewed Avalon co-founder Jon Thoday and Adelicious MD Andrew Goldsmith last year. In 2020, podcasting in Türkiye grew faster than anywhere else on Earth. Now, the industry is part of a US $31mn digital audio ad market - and it’s only set to grow further. Rıfat Özcan writes for Podnews today, looking at the rapidly evolving Turkish podcasting ecosystem. EarBuds today carries International Podcast Recommendations , from Andreea Coscai. Kast Media’s bankruptcy procedure appears to have got a lot more complicated - the owner of Jim Cornette’s shows, Arcadian Vanguard, is suing Kast Media CEO Colin Thomson and his family members - and also suing LiveOne and PodcastOne. The complaint alleges that $6.9mn of cash went missing; claims that family members received two cars and a $7,665 Cartier watch; and also alleges that this was occurring with PodcastOne’s knowledge. The summons was served on Friday.
