Study: Air Personalities Drive Advertising Effectiveness


It is commonly accepted wisdom that talent-reads by podcast hosts or AM/FM radio personalities drive powerful brand impact and sales effect. Now, a new study from System1, the creative effectiveness measurement leader, uncovers how talent-reads impact a brand’s market share and short-term sales effect.

The key findings are highlighted in this week’s Cumulus Media | Westwood One Audio Active Group® blog.  

 



  • Host-voiced ads tested among the podcast audience generate an additional star rating versus the general population  
  • Among the podcast audience, the host-read ad generates a happiness score 2X greater than that of the general population 


  • System1 short-term sales effect spike rating grows 16% to 18% among podcast listeners exposed to the host-read ad versus the general population 
  • Dentsu: Audio ads outperform video for attention and brand recall, according to Lumen study  


  • MAGNA/Vox Media: Podcasters are more influential than social media influencers  
  • Jacobs Media Techsurvey 2023: Personalities outpace music as the main reason for listening to AM/FM radio 
  • MARU/Matchbox: Listeners feel connected to their favorite AM/FM radio DJs, personalities, and shows  
  • Extraordinary levels of audio attentiveness combined with host engagement means the lowest degree of audio ad avoidance
