Radio-proven
Audio-native detection engine
Built for spots, sponsorships, and live-reads — the same engine coming to podcast
The gap that costs you deals. A host mentions a brand. A sponsored segment runs. Your competitor acts first — not because they were smarter, but because they heard it first. Spotwise is building the detection layer that closes that gap.
- Prospect. Pain: You suspect a brand is spending on podcasts in your market — but you cannot confirm it, so you cannot approach them with confidence.. What Spotwise does: The same detection logic that surfaces new radio advertisers the moment they air will apply to host-reads and branded segments — surfacing new spenders before they are common knowledge..
- Research. Pain: Host-read ads are hard to clip, harder to attribute, and nearly impossible to track across a show library without listening manually.. What Spotwise does: The same transcript-plus-audio capture that catches every spot on radio will be the foundation for recognising every branded read in a podcast feed — once podcast monitoring launches..
- Pitch. Pain: You walk into a pitch against a show that already carries the advertiser — but you do not know that, so you lead with reach alone instead of category exclusivity.. What Spotwise does: When podcast data joins the mix, Spotty will be able to reference category spend, competitive placement, and audience fit alongside the radio intelligence it already uses — so your pitches land with context, not just numbers..
- Close. Pain: Sellers lose deals because they cannot defend audience overlap or prove the advertiser's spend pattern across formats.. What Spotwise does: Estimated spend, modelled from panel data and rate cards, is already a core radio output. The same methodology will extend to podcast — defensible numbers you can put in front of a buyer..
- Grow. Pain: After a campaign runs, there is no easy way to show a podcast advertiser what aired, when, and alongside what — so renewal conversations start from scratch every time.. What Spotwise does: The always-on monitor layer is coming to podcast, so your account managers know when a client's campaign runs — and when a competitor moves in on the same show..
