PROMOTIONS
The ultimate podcast growth hack
Get discovered on the Fountain homepage and reward new listeners. Build a bigger audience overnight on any budget.
Podcast ads people actually listen to
Podcast ads are sold on a CPM basis (i.e. the cost for a thousand downloads). But we don't listen to every podcast we download - plus we skip past ads anyway, right? If you're buying podcast ads to get new listeners, you will never know how many people actually listened to them. On Fountain your budget gets paid back to every listener who heard your ad, boosting your campaign's performance while delivering measurable results.

Boost your audience growth with Fountain Promotions
"In December 2022 we started investing in Fountain Promotions to help our new podcast generate early momentum. Since then we have been promoting our latest episodes on a regular basis and we have seen our audience grow exponentially. In June 2023, we reached 100k total downloads and just six months later we hit 300k. Fountain Promotions work!"
