We’re Flexible.
Advertiser Provided or Publisher Read Ads

Provide your own audio or have a podcast read your ad copy verbatim or ad libbed. Providing your own audio is great for evergreen campaigns and to make sure your voice and brand stays completely consistent. Host or publisher-read advertisements add an organic feeling and are great for promotions or sales. Flexibility and versatility means you get increased ROI and an engaged audience. No matter where the content comes from we’ll help optimize your podcast advertising campaign and help you deploy your ads in the perfect place.

Privacy First

Backtracks Podcast Advertising does not track or profile ANY users. It’s that simple. We use anonymized heuristics and AI to match advertisers and publishers so that an ad for a local lumber store to a woodworking podcast can find one another. We believe you don’t have to be invasive to be effective. This methodology is a win-win-win for advertisers, content creators, and listeners alike. No privacy or GDPR issues here.

Podcast Marketing
at Scale.

Backtracks is the platform for podcast advertising and data at scale. We make sure the best ads and the best content find each other. We’re not the content publisher, we’re not a consumer listening app, and we’re not the advertiser. We add value for the listener, the advertisers, and publishers with our data and technology. Our platform is constantly improving and adding new features to benefit you. When you use Backtracks, you’ll see the full capabilities of podcast metrics and podcast advertising. Brands, developers, and agencies can use Backtracks’ APIs and SDKs to programmatically interact with campaigns and run reports for campaigns that are large or small.
