In a very short time RawVoice will be rolling out it’s evolutionary new podcasting website called Blubrry! Upon launch the new Podcasting site will be in need of National Advertisers to roll out media campaigns with a very high number of world wide established podcasts.
If you are a media company, and have properties looking to get in the podcast advertising space we will ask that you negotiate your campaign today. The RawVoice team has spent 6 months of planning, and invested 100’s of thousands of dollars to deploy the new site, and when it is launched in late June it will be unlike no other.
Contact marketing@rawvoice.com for advertising spots on all of their properties.
Podcasters there is little time left to get signed up for the pre-launch orientation!

Today I say an article written that was giving certain companies accolades in the podcast media space, who are reaping the rewards for some of the work we have done here over the last year. To not get any credit is wrong, I will be honest sometimes I wonder if the editors of these articles have done their homework and actually know who is moving ad deals for podcasters.
There are only a few companies that have been consistently successful in executing podcast ad campaigns and putting real dollars in podcasters pockets, and we are one of them. Since May of 2005 Podcast Connect has been delivering ad campaigns for various companies and we know we have a formula that works.
Our ad inventory is sold, and our podcasters are getting paid this is what counts in the end. My second company RawVoice is having equal success at the Podcaster News Network having just finished a campaign for the USA Network, and with our imminent launch of some new product offerings we are set to bring into play aggregation of podcasters in a much larger way.
All I can do is continue to be the advocate I have, and make sure that we continue to deliver the goods for our advertising partners.
