IAB report quantifies Covid-19 hit to US podcast ad revenues
Advertising industry body the IAB has published its latest figures on the podcast ads market in the US. “With an expected growth rate of 14.7%, US podcast advertising revenues are nearing the $1bn mark,” it claimed.
Are they really, though? The report doesn’t actually give a figure for its 2020 revenue prediction, but it does for 2019: $708.1m. 14.7% growth on that would mean $812.2m of podcast advertising revenues in 2020. It’s certainly nearer to $1bn than last year, but ‘near’ seems a bit of a stretch.
The report does explain how the IAB has revised its original forecasts for the year though: it expected 29.6% growth for the US podcast ads market this year (which would have taken it to $917.7m) before the Covid-19 pandemic hoved into view, causing many ad campaigns to be put on hold.

A couple of times in public appearances this year, BPI boss Geoff Taylor has alluded to a partnership with the advertising industry and police to crack down on such sites, while promising more info at a later date. That date came yesterday via an announcement by City of London Police.

Liveblog: BPI and IAB talk Brand Advertising on Pirate Sites
A panel session about brand-sponsored piracy featuring the BPI and Interactive Advertising Bureau? Haven’t we been here before? Yes, in May 2013 actually: that conference saw Google and musician David Lowery in the mix too.
There were unlikely to be quite as many sparks today at the Copyright & Technology conference in London, with no Google. But the panel promised an interesting debate nonetheless with Geoff Taylor from the BPI, Nick Stringer from the IAB, Nick Swimer from law firm Reed Smith, and consultant Jeremy Penston.
