Clearly, nothing is more important than protecting our children. Childhood obesity is a real and serious problem, and efforts to combat it deserve praise. It’s possible, however, for certain tactics to overreach, as some in our industry are suggesting is the case with new legislation that will completely ban digital ads for certain products high in fat, salt and sugar (HFSS). It’s possible that compromises may emerge. But in the meantime, many brands will turn to audio (with responsible advertising as dictated by the media industry’s self-regulatory policies) as podcasts, streaming and radio are not considered under the new legislation. When they do make the switch to audio, how will brands know they’re striking the right chord with consumers? What’s right for a radio ad versus a podcast ad? How can sonic branding help compensate for a lack of visual? This isn’t just a matter of rehashing video & TV ads -- audio is a unique channel that demands its own diligence and strategy. Join Amanda DiMarco, Director of Customer Success at Veritonic, as they bring new data on best practices and how marketers audio messages are resonating for listeners in the midst of this complex issue and how to make the most of the restrictions using audio.

The ongoing cultural shift toward audio -- the “audio boom” as described recently by Axios and many other entities -- was well in play long before the pandemic hit. From new podcasts launching seemingly every minute, to nearly half the US population conversing with voice assistants, to Clubhouse, we’ve clearly been experiencing what Rishad Tobaccowala calls “the colonization of the ears.” The global lockdown was only a catalyst. It is, of course, the marketer’s job to jump on the opportunity and turn listener into loyal customer. While many have tread carefully, perhaps wary of a perceived lack of good data, many other brands have gone deep and wide on audio marketing, knowing that there’s never been a more critical time to leverage the power of sound.
