Sponsorship Audio is out NOW. When a sponsor audio is created, it will be added to the intro of every audio on the page, so literally everyone on site will listen to that ad.
Make sure that you complete all field, listen to the preview before activating, and that the company image/icon is a png format with transparent background so that it looks nice.
Also make sure that one sponsor audio is available at a time to avoid conflicts. The image shows two dummy sponsor audios which you can edit and activate. Utsav Jaiswal Here you go!
Sweet!
Does it have tracking for audio listens and clicks?
I imagine audio listening is just total audio listens. Impressions = story page impressions, and clicks on the logo is google event tracking?
Yupp, I added events to it!
Marcos Fabian.... HOLD ON A HOT MINUTE!
NOT ONLY IS IT AUDIO ADS, ITS SYNTHETICALLY GENERATED AUDIO ADS?
SORRY TO YELL BUT I'M PLEASANTLY SHOCKED!
Ok I activated a fake ad to test! Waiting for it to go live on the story page...
It's live lol. RN it's text and text logo - I prefer just clickable text logo. what do others think? Also on mobile RN it adds a line, can we right align "speed" on the same line as the ad to save a line here?
Limarc, YESS, ITS SYNTHETICALLY GENERATED AUDIO ADS THAT IS ADDED TO EVERY STORY!
David the issue is that the icon has the name on it, not all companies have their name incorporated in their logo/icon.
I could remove the company name If we can have the text logo for every company.
MARCOS. YOU A GANGSTA.
The placeholder ad is now Verse! Utsav Jaiswal can now sell with a live demo on the site.
Marcos Fabian re: “the issue is that the icon has the name on it, not all company have their name incorporated in their logo/icon” I think it’s not going to be many customers and they are like partners in the early days of new offerings, so we can get (or make) text logos for all.
Plus if they could only one, customers I think would prefer text logo over plain text.
Cool will remove the name! 🙂
