LIVE EVENT: Get under the hood of campaigns I ran in 2024
Podcast advertising revenue is on track to approach the $2.6 billion mark by 2026.
The evolution of live events, programmatic and video will help drive growth.
Previously, News, Sports and Comedy related podcasts took the lion’s share of podcast ad revenue.
But now, advertisers are beginning to contribute ad spend to a broad array of podcasts.
Podcast ad revenue percentage share by content genre in 2023:
- Science ~ 1%
- Religion & Spirituality ~ 1%
- Health & Fitness ~ 3%
- History ~ 3%
- Business ~ 3%
- TV & Film ~ 3%
- True Crime ~ 6%
- Society & Culture ~ 11%
- News ~ 12%
- Sports ~ 13%
- Comedy ~ 17%
On Thursday, Sep. 12th, I will be chatting with Fullfunnel founders Andrei Zinkevich and Vladimir Blagojevic about how brands can raise awareness through podcast advertising.
In this live event I will share:
- Under the hood of podcast campaigns I ran in 2024: what worked and what failed

The End
Doesn’t it feel like everything is moving so fast?
Or maybe you feel like things are not moving as fast as they should.
It helps to take a second and reflect.
This time last year, I had gotten ‘laid off’ from OptiMonk (my hours were reduced). This was the 4th time I had gotten laid off in the past six years.
I’m pretty adaptable, but this experience of giving my all to companies that could decide to let me go at any time had taken its toll.
So, I decided to give this new idea a shot - helping SaaS brands reach new audiences through podcast sponsorships.
Well, a year later, I’ve managed 11 campaigns on behalf of 7 different clients and 2024 is not even over yet.
No matter how bad your situation may be, there is always an opportunity to reinvent yourself.
Have a great weekend!
