● 02 - WHY PODCAST FOR CARAWAY

177 SHOWS. ZERO STRATEGY.

Caraway is spending $61K/month on podcast advertising across 177 shows - but most are scattered YouTube and Instagram buys with low renewal signals. That means advertisers aren't coming back, which means the audience isn't converting. The opportunity isn't to spend more. It's to spend smarter - fewer shows, better fit, real attribution.

Same demo. Same interests. Same values.
Current State
