RSM Ad Manager allows you to set a podcast advertising budget between $500 - $20,000.
Your campaign will run on a CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions) model. Your CPM is based on your selections (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.
Campaigns of $2,000 or more (before taxes) qualify to have a 30-second audio ad produced by Rogers Sports & Media at no extra cost.
