Audio advertising has evolved — it’s no longer limited to traditional radio. Today, you can reach engaged listeners through both FM/AM radio and digital-first podcasts. At Swell, we manage audio campaigns across local radio stations, regional networks, and top podcast platforms. Whether you need a quick-hit brand mention, a 30-second spot, or a host-read endorsement, we build campaigns that connect with audiences on the go.

What’s the difference between radio ads and podcast ads?
Radio ads run on live broadcast stations and reach broad local or regional audiences. Podcast ads run inside on-demand shows and often reach more niche, highly engaged listeners. Both are effective, but they serve different purposes depending on your audience and goals.
Are radio ads still effective in today’s digital landscape?
Yes. Radio reaches millions of listeners daily, especially commuters and local audiences. It’s a powerful channel for brand awareness, event promotion, and reaching demographics that may not be active on digital platforms.
How does podcast advertising work?
Podcast advertising places your ad inside episodes your audience already listens to. Ads can be host-read, producer-read, or dynamically inserted. Because podcast listeners feel connected to the hosts, these ads often have high trust and engagement.
How much do radio and podcast ads cost?
Radio pricing is typically based on market size, time of day, and station popularity. Podcast ads are usually priced on CPM (cost per thousand listeners). Both channels can support modest or large budgets, and we help match you with options that fit your goals.
Can you track ROI from radio and podcast campaigns?
Yes. We use landing pages, QR codes, promo codes, call tracking, and attribution tools to measure responses. While audio is traditionally harder to track than digital ads, these tools give clear insight into how radio and podcasts impact leads and sales.
