Advertiser Perceptions: Podcast Advertising Discussion And Spending Intention Hit A Twelve-Year High Among Agencies And Marketers
In advance of the first IAB Podcast Upfront in 2015, the Cumulus Media | Westwood One Audio Active Group® commissioned Advertiser Perceptions to study agency and brand sentiment on podcast advertising. For the last twelve years, the study has been reprised annually to track buy-side podcast advertising consideration and intention. The latest Advertiser Perceptions study, conducted in June 2026 with 300 marketers and media agencies, reveals advertiser/agency podcasting discussion and spending intention has hit a twelve-year high.
