What it is

Ads people hear, bought the smart way

Digital audio advertising is the ads you hear on streaming music services and podcasts. Programmatic audio means those ads are targeted to specific audiences and bought automatically — the same way display and CTV are.

It’s one of the few formats that reaches people during moments other channels can’t: working out, commuting, cooking, walking the dog. Their hands and eyes are busy, but they’re listening.

Why it works · Who it's for

Intimate, focused, and hard to skip

Audio is intimate and hard to skip. Streaming and podcast listening keep growing, and the inventory is increasingly targetable. It’s a strong awareness and consideration channel that reaches people in a focused, low-distraction state.

Presence in daily routines

Brands that want to show up during screen-free moments — the commute, the workout, the kitchen — woven into the day.

Interest-rich audiences

Advertisers targeting commuters, fitness listeners, or specific interest groups that over-index on podcasts.

Extend video reach

Anyone running CTV or video who wants an efficient way to extend reach and frequency across screen-free time.

How Optimatic does it

Targeted placement, no mystery

We place audio ads across top streaming and podcast inventory and target by audience, interest, location, and your first-party data — not just a broad station buy.

Audience-first targeting

Interest, behavior, location, and your own data decide who hears the spot — not which station happens to be playing.

Full transparency

You see which platforms and partners we're using, the real media cost versus our fee, and clear reporting on reach and performance.

No mystery placements

Every campaign comes with named inventory and partners. If we run it, you can see exactly where it ran.
