Ad Formats & Pricing
Sponsored Card
$50 / week
A clickable card with your image, headline and link, shown in the content carousels across Vox9, on the web and on the Android mobile app. Flat weekly rate, always on. Perfect for a Kickstarter, a book or comic launch, a game, or a product link.
No CPM maths: $50 a week, or $10/day for a short run. Runs in the carousels people actually browse.
Audio Ad (pre-roll)
$15 / 1,000 completed plays
A short audio spot before episodes. You only pay when a listener hears it all the way through, so nothing is wasted on skips. It scales with your budget:
| Budget | Completed plays |
|---|---|
| $50 | ~3,300 |
| $150 | ~10,000 |
| $500 | ~33,000 |
"CPM" just means cost per 1,000. At $15 CPM, every completed play costs 1.5 cents. $50 minimum.
Advertiser FAQ
Where will my sponsored card appear?
In the content carousels across the Vox9 hub and browse pages, on both the web and the Android mobile app, right alongside the stories listeners are already scrolling through.
What counts as a "completed play", and do I pay for skips?
A completed play is when a listener hears your audio spot all the way to the end. You are only charged for those. Skipped or abandoned plays cost you nothing, so your whole budget goes to people who actually heard your message.
