How Advertising Campaigns Work
The advertiser selects an advertising package.
The advertiser submits payment through a secure payment page or invoice.
The advertiser provides a finished audio advertisement or written script.
The Forbidden Knowledge Network reviews the advertisement for approval.
The campaign is scheduled across eligible podcasts according to audience relevance and available inventory.
The advertisement runs until the guaranteed number of impressions has been delivered.
The advertiser receives campaign delivery confirmation or a campaign report, depending on the package purchased.
Campaigns begin after payment has been received and all required materials have been submitted and approved.
Guaranteed impressions may be delivered across multiple podcasts, episodes, categories, and podcast platforms.
The exact podcasts used for a campaign depend on audience relevance, content category, campaign size, requested dates, and available advertising inventory.
