Podcasts have moved from niche to normal. More than half of Australians listen every month, often with headphones in and nothing else competing for attention. Advertisers are following, and podcasting is the fastest-growing part of audio ad spend. But it is still far less crowded than social feeds, so a well-written ad can own a moment that a scroll never gives you. Programmatic audio lets you target listeners by topic, audience and location without negotiating show by show.

Podcasts have moved from niche to normal. More than half of Australians listen every month, often with headphones in and nothing else competing for attention.
We write and produce the spots in-house, buy placements across podcast and streaming platforms programmatically, and plan broadcast radio alongside digital audio rather than as a separate buy.

Podcast advertising agency questions
They do different jobs. Host-read ads borrow the trust a listener has in the host and suit brands that need explaining, while produced spots give you control of the message and run across many shows at scale. Many campaigns use both, with host reads on a few key shows and produced spots for reach.
Yes. Our team writes the scripts, organises voice talent and produces the finished spots in-house, in the lengths each platform needs. For host-read ads we write a brief and key points so the host can make it sound natural.
Yes. We can buy specific shows, whole genres or audiences across many shows, and we exclude content that doesn't suit your brand. Choosing exact shows gives you control, while broader buys give more reach for the same budget, so we usually mix the two.
Listeners rarely click, so we look at what happens after they hear the ad: branded searches, site visits and enquiries from the areas and audiences we reached, plus listener surveys or promo codes where they fit. That shows what audio is adding alongside your other channels.
It depends on who you need to reach. Radio still reaches large numbers of people in the car and at work, and is strong for local and regional brands. Streaming audio and podcasts add targeting and measurement, so we often plan them together rather than choosing one.
Audio works best when people hear your ad more than once, so the budget needs to cover enough frequency in your market. Our clients usually invest $10K or more a month in media across channels, and we'll tell you honestly whether audio deserves a share of that yet.
Marketing should act like part of your commercial engine. Not a cost centre.
We started Sneaky because we were tired of watching great brands miss their potential. Campaigns that didn't convert. Data nobody tracked. Junior advice, and service that left people chasing.
So we built the agency we would want to hire. A senior team on every account, no hand-offs, and every decision measured against profit, not platforms. We'll speak your language.
