Why Brands Aren't Spending That Extra $1B on Podcasts (Yet)

Advertisers want to spend an extra $1B in podcasting; but they’re holding back until we address the industry’s biggest issues.

This week on The Media Roundtable, we’ve assembled a powerhouse of CAOs to talk about the findings of our 2025 What Brands Want report.

At this summer’s CAO Summit, we learned that podcasting could be one billion dollars bigger… if brands had what they need today. After polling brand leaders on their hurdles and needs, the results are in. Dan Granger (CEO & Founder, Oxford Road) breaks down the findings with:

• Justin Fitzpatrick (Head of Performance Marketing, Found)

• Julianna Crozier (Associate Director, Influencer Partnerships & Growth Marketing, Thrive Market)

• Will Flaherty (SVP, Growth, Ro), and

• Giles Martin (EVP, Strategy, Oxford Road)

The team is talking: Closing the Measurement Gap, Beating the Clutter, Minding the Macro, and more. Let’s dig in.

“Any sort of improvement that we can make on the measurement side to prove the efficacy of our ad dollars is going to only enable us to put more and more budget into the channel.”
