Work with us
From business leaders to lifestyle communities, podcasts connect brands with listeners in trusted, personal environments. With over a fifth of UK adults listening every week according to Ofcom, podcasts offer one of the most attentive audiences in digital media.
Priority Sounds helps brands plan, buy and produce high-performance campaigns within podcasts, connecting advertisers with the right shows, audiences and moments to maximise impact.
Podcast advertising places your brand directly within podcast episodes on platforms like Spotify or Apple Podcasts. A podcast advert can be delivered by the host, inserted dynamically as a produced audio spot, or integrated into wider sponsorship and branded content partnerships. Increasingly, video is amplifying this impact, bringing podcasts onto platforms like YouTube, where visual formats and product placement drive greater reach and engagement.
Unlike display or social advertising, podcasts connect with highly engaged listeners in a trusted, personal setting. They deliver your message in a space where audiences are tuned in and receptive. With loyal subscribers returning week after week, podcasts build awareness, strengthen trust, and keep your brand front of mind.
As a dedicated podcast advertising agency, Priority Sounds manages everything – from podcast selection and negotiation to creative production and reporting - delivering campaigns built around commercial outcomes.
Ready to tap into engaged audiences? Let’s plan your campaign today.
From host-read sponsorships to branded episodes, we help you build authentic connections that stick. Your message lands through voices listeners already trust, turning everyday listens into lasting brand loyalty.
We recommend the right format based on your budget, objective and growth ambitions. These include:
Authenticity That Sticks
Personal endorsements from podcast hosts, heard as authentic recommendations. When listeners hear a recommendation from a familiar voice, brand recall and response rates are typically higher.
It’s particularly effective for brands looking to build credibility or encourage direct action.
Reach in Every Slot
Dynamic ad insertions placed before, during, or after episodes that are either host-read or professionally produced audio ads. Mid-roll placements tend to perform best as they sit within the main content.
This format works well for brands looking for scalable reach across multiple podcasts while maintaining contextual relevance.
Unrivalled Exposure
Sponsorship involves becoming an official partner of a show, with regular mentions across episodes. Instead of a single placement, your brand is associated with the podcast over a longer period.
This repeated exposure helps build familiarity and long-term brand awareness.
Your Story, Your Show
Tell your story in depth by sponsoring or by producing your own podcast series.
This approach supports thought leadership, storytelling and stronger audience relationships, going beyond a standard podcast advert.
Supercharged Creatives
As audiences increasingly consume podcasts on platforms like YouTube and social media, video has become a powerful extension of the format.
Video also enables natural product placement within the content itself, allowing brands to be seen as well as heard in a more integrated and engaging way.
Podcast advertising in the UK is usually priced on a CPM basis (cost per 1,000 impressions delivered within a campaign). That means you pay based on how many people listen to episodes featuring your podcast advert. The final cost depends on several factors, including the campaign length, podcast ad production requirements and the format you choose. For example, host-read ads often cost more due to their performance strength and the presenter’s involvement.
The cost also depends on the size of the podcast:
