Exaget Week in Review: Local Radio and Advertising, Location + Data and Future of Audio Advertising

According to the BIS/KELSEY’s new industry report, “Local Radio Stations Profiles and Trends for 2014 and Beyond.” Defining the local media marketplace as all local media/services that provide access to local audiences, BIA/KELSEY estimates total local media spending for 2013 to be $132.7 billion. But it’s not just targeting as in where the ad shows up… but also what it contains.

xAd has been pushing this idea for a while and it’s now out with its latest quarterly Mobile Location Insights report. The data xAd utilizes in particular is situational (smartfences) and behavioral (user data, brand affinity, etc). These are showing lots of growth on its network.

The Future of Audio Advertising

Audio advertising has had its ups and downs, directly related to the media technologies popular at the time. Beginning at the turn of the century, audio ads were a major component of the popular radio shows.
