How much does advertising on RSM Ad Manager cost?

RSM Ad Manager provides ad solutions for any budget.

Podcast, Streaming Video and Display advertising runs on a CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions) model. Your CPM is based on your selections (e.g. placement and targeting) and will be displayed as you are setting up your campaign.

RSM Ad Manager will calculate the amount of impressions -- the number of times your ad will run -- based on your CPM and budget.

For an effective ad campaign, we recommend a budget that delivers at least 25,000 ad impressions per week, where available.

Radio advertising is based on a Cost Per Spot model. When building your radio schedule you will see the cost per spot for the station you select. This is the cost to air your ad a single time.

To ensure your campaign is effective, we require a minimum of 24 spots per week, per station.
