Advertise with NaijaPodNews
Reach Nigeria's growing audience of audio-first listeners. Your message, delivered in authentic Nigerian English alongside content people actually press play on.
Why Advertise With Us
NaijaPodNews is not another banner network. We are an audio platform built specifically for the Nigerian audience — every listener comes to us to press play on something they want to hear. That means your message reaches people who are already engaged, not scrolling past display ads on autopilot. Our content is narrated in authentic Nigerian English by AI voices, which means your brand is associated with a polished, professional, locally resonant product.
Engaged Audience
Listeners press play intentionally — average session length is measured in minutes, not seconds.
Brand Safe
AI-narrated content is reviewed by our editorial desk. No UGC adjacency without explicit review.
Mobile-First
Built for the way Nigerians actually browse — mobile, on the go, often on slower connections.
Ad Formats
We offer four core ad formats, each designed to fit naturally into a different part of the listening experience. Custom packages and combinations are available — talk to us about what you are trying to achieve and we will recommend the right mix.
Audio Pre-Roll on News Episodes
Your 15- or 30-second audio spot plays before a news episode starts. This is our highest-engagement format — listeners have already pressed play, so they hear your message in full before the news begins. Supply your own audio creative, or have our AI narrators read your script in authentic Nigerian English for seamless brand integration.
- • 15s or 30s spots available
- • Optional AI-narrated read using your script
- • Category targeting (tech, sports, business, etc.)
- • Frequency-capped per listener per day
Banner Ads
Standard IAB display banners placed in high-visibility positions across the homepage news feed, the Stories listing, and the Yarn rooms listing. All placements are above the fold on mobile and desktop. We support static and animated HTML5 creative in standard sizes.
- • Homepage top banner and in-feed placements
- • /stories listing sidebar (desktop) and in-feed (mobile)
- • /yarn listing above the room grid
- • Standard IAB sizes (728×90, 300×250, 320×50)
Sponsored Yarn Rooms
Host a live audio or video room on Yarn sponsored by your brand. Ideal for product launches, Q&A sessions, panel discussions, town halls, and influencer takeovers. We handle promotion across the platform (including a featured placement on the homepage), AI captions, recording, and post-event distribution. You bring the host and the topic; we bring the audience and the infrastructure.
- • 30, 60, or 90-minute live rooms
- • Audio-only or video mode
- • Featured placement on homepage + /yarn during the event
- • Recording delivered for re-use on your channels
- • Optional AI co-host for moderation assistance
Sponsored Stories (Branded Fiction)
Commission an original AI-narrated audio story that subtly integrates your brand, product, or message. Perfect for reaching entertainment audiences in a format that feels like content, not an ad. Each sponsored story is clearly labeled as sponsored, tagged by genre, and lives permanently in the Stories library for ongoing listens.
- • 5–20 minute audio stories
- • Genre of your choice (thriller, romance, gospel, action)
- • Brand integration reviewed by our editorial team
- • Clearly labeled “Sponsored by [Brand]”
- • Permanent placement in the Stories library
Our Audience
NaijaPodNews listeners are mobile-first, predominantly Nigerian, and actively engaged with audio content. They press play because they want to listen — not because a video autoplayed. Our audience skews toward working-age Nigerians (18–45) who value staying informed but lack the time to read lengthy articles. Many listen during their daily commute, while cooking, or while exercising.
Note for the team: replace the placeholder numbers below with real figures from Vercel Analytics or Google Analytics before launching ad sales.
