I was looking at the newly rebranded midroll.com and saw this quote
“”Out of all of Igloo Software’s opportunities last year, 7% came from podcast sponsorships,” according to Marko Savic, Igloo’s Creative Director. “But the remarkable thing is that a full 21% of opportunity value was influenced from those podcast ads.
