Its planning tools search podcasts by keyword, network, genre, or topic, compare audiences and inventory, and help build media plans. Competitive intelligence analyzes ad activity and spend by advertiser, podcast, genre, vertical, demographic, and timeframe, with watchlists and notifications. Aircheck tools review ad content, length, and placement, flag delivery issues, and check promo codes and vanity URL reads. Pixel-based attribution tracks conversion events across podcasts, broadcast and streaming audio, YouTube, and video, with adjustable exposure and look-back windows.
