Podcorn

Podcorn is a marketplace that connects podcasters and advertisers for native podcast sponsorships. The platform is designed for both podcasters seeking to monetize their content and brands looking to run podcast advertising campaigns. Key capabilities include a marketplace where podcasters can browse sponsorship opportunities, pitch ideas, and collaborate directly with brands, while setting their own rates and retaining control over their content. Brands can use either a self-service option to create campaigns, receive proposals, and hire podcasters within a secure platform, or a full-service option where Podcorn’s team manages campaign creation, execution, and delivery with guaranteed deliverables. The platform also offers Creator Lab, which combines free podcast hosting with automated ad technology. Podcorn states that its technology and data are used to connect podcasters and brands for collaborations, with a focus on native ad formats such as host-read integrations, topical discussions, and product reviews. The service claims no hidden fees or exclusivity requirements.
