Why TWiT.tv? - TWiT’s Host-Read Ads Stand Out
Sponsoring TWiT's innovative podcasts puts your brand in front of an affluent, highly-engaged, tech-savvy audience with one-click purchasing power. TWiT only partners with sponsors who have products/services that will benefit their audience.
TWiT's podcasts are in audio/video formats, except for new shows, allowing for product or service demos. Our full-service continuity team will care for your copywriting, graphics, and editing needs.
- 85% of listeners made a purchase based on a TWiT host-read ad
- 99% listen to most or the entire podcast
- 88% are involved in their company's tech/IT decision-making process
TWiT believes in delivering powerful host-read ads that properly introduce a sponsor's products/services to its audience. Overdelivery on impressions is guaranteed as all ads are embedded. Sponsorship promotion appears on TWiT's sponsor page, show episode page, and RSS feed. Newsletter and social media promotion is included, and courtesy commercials on video shows are provided with every ad read.

"ITPro.TV would not be where it is today without the TWiT Network..."
Tim Broom
Founder,
ITPro.TV
"We expected TWiT to work well for us because we were long-time listeners who, over the years, bought many of the products and services we learned about on various shows. We were not disappointed. The combination of the very personal ad-reads, and the careful selection of products that TWiT largely believe in, gives the ads an authentic, trusted voice that works really well for products like ours. 10/10 - Will use again."

TWiT Advertising Terms
Advertising minimum is $25,000 per broadcast quarter.
Cancellation Policy - all quarterly orders are noncancellable. On annual orders or orders longer than a quarter, the first quarter is noncancellable but Advertiser's Agency/Advertiser may request to cancel episode(s) and or banner(s) listed in this broadcast order 90 days prior to the scheduled run date or 45 days before the next broadcast quarter.
Category Exclusivity Policy - is only extended to the show episode that the ad appears on and for the product/service that the advertiser is promoting. To obtain network exclusivity for the duration of your campaign you must buy all shows. We do not offer host exclusivity at all.
Ad Format - each show episode has two ad positions - first is the host-read billboard (typically 10 - 15 seconds) and second is a host-read interstitial ad (typically 1-2 minutes). If the lead host is unavailable then a co-host or in-house host will perform the ad read.
Right of First Refusal - when TWiT.tv asks Advertiser's Agency/Advertiser if they plan to renew then Advertiser's Agency/Advertiser has 5 business days to respond or category can be filled elsewhere.
Tracking Policy - We do not allow Advertiser tracking pixels but allow Advertiser UTM tags on the show episode pages. Podsights is available to direct clients and agencies. However, TWiT.tv does not cover the cost for agencies and contracts need to be made directly with them.
Ad Copy ("Copy") must be sent to TWiT.tv two weeks prior to advertising commencement date. Copy can be changed weekly thereafter. Updated Copy must be sent to Network one week prior. Graphics for billboard and lower third can be changed monthly.
TWiT.tv has the right to review and approve Copy to ensure there are no conflicts with existing advertisers. Any discounts offered to the TWiT.tv audience cannot be changed unless an expiration date is provided with the offer, or TWiT.tv receives a 14-day advance written notice.
Advertiser to have presence on the Network sponsor page, show episode pages, and in RSS feed episode description. Courtesy commercials on video shows, can be provided with every ad read and used anywhere besides paid media. Advertiser to receive social media promotion on Inside TWiT social media accounts and featured in our weekly newsletter 1x.
Downloads/impressions are provided to Advertiser's Agency/Advertiser every Friday (unless it’s a holiday or EOM is earlier that week). These will include audio and video podcast downloads compliant with IAB Podcast Measurement v2.0 Guidelines. Additionally, we add in Google and YouTube numbers because they are tracked separately. Downloads/impressions will be reviewed for make-good purposes approximately 30 days after the broadcast calendar month ends. If a make-good is needed then it will be issued by TWiT.tv as soon as the Advertiser's Agency/Advertiser approves it. TWiT.tv reserves the right to remove ads from its content after impressions are fully delivered to Advertiser's Agency/Advertiser.
