MadTech Sketch: Audio's Rising Role in Marketing

Rachel Smith, CEO of ATS London/MadTechMoney, recently presented the latest MadTech Sketch at an event with over 650 attendees. The sketch highlighted the growing importance of audio in marketing, despite historical measurement issues and lack of last-click attribution.

Traditionally, audio's role in marketing has been hindered by measurement difficulties and the lack of clear attribution. However, AI-powered attribution models are set to improve this, potentially boosting audio's recognition in the marketing sphere.

The sketch proposed that mid-to-upper funnel advertising will be crucial in the future, with audio sitting in a sweet spot before the prompt. This is due to AI and chatbot disruptions in the lower funnel. Ciaran O'Kane has revised his sketch to reflect this, now including audio as a significant channel in data-driven marketing.

Audio's effectiveness for brand building is undeniable, and personalized AI-powered jingles are seen as a potential future application. Podcasts, as a refuge from platform issues, have high trust and sought-after inventory in the audio landscape.
