Lift Reports measure the increase in conversions from podcast advertising vs. doing nothing at all. We use a control group of podcast listeners that haven't been exposed to your podcast ads. Lift is only available in the US, CA, and Mexico

When you request a report, a Platform Success Engineer will create your report within 3 business days. The requester will receive an email notification letting them know when the report is ready.How it Works
Control Groups
Podsights has three different ways of creating Control Groups.- Podcast Baselines: When you set up a campaign, you can now mark a line item or episode as a baseline. Podsights will use these impressions as the control group.
- Publisher Control Group: Podsights will use a sampled group of impressions from the publisher’s network as long as they use Podsights RSS prefix.
- Household Control Group: Podsights will use a sample group of impressions from our household graph.
Exposed Groups
Much simpler, just the impressions where your ad appeared.The Report
Podsights does Incremental Lift slightly different than the majority of providers in the space. We aren’t looking for just one number; we are looking for a return to the baseline. For a given set of Control Group impressions, the odds that a household visited after day one or after day ten should be about the same. These households were not exposed to a podcast ad, and the site traffic is consistent week over week. For the exposed group, we should see a natural decay in the effectiveness of the advertisement. If I’m exposed on day 0, the odds of me converting goes down over time. The result looks like so:
Podsights Lift Example
You can see a clear bump in the early weeks that declines over time. Lift is the area above the baseline average. Sometime the effects can last weeks, sometimes days depending on the show, format, etc.
