With Second 'Podcast Upfront,' IAB Hopes Brands Will Buy Into Audio Advertising

NPR, ESPN and others will pitch original shows

Buoyed by the success of popular podcasts like Serial and This American Life, the Interactive Advertising Bureau is hosting its second annual Podcast Upfront this fall to bring together publishers, advertisers and agencies.

Twelve media and podcast companies (up from eight last year) will pitch new content to media buyers during 20-minute presentations on Sept. 7 at Time Inc.'s Henry R. Luce Auditorium in downtown Manhattan. In addition to presenting new podcast shows, publishers will talk to media buyers about how advertising can be integrated into content.
