Did you know: There are untapped opportunities for advertisers in Kids and Family Podcasts. A study by Realm’s Kids and Family division, Pinna , in partnership with US kids podcast Story Pirates to unveils a wealth of opportunities for brands to reach high-earning families by advertising on Kids & Family podcasts. Some of their findings… ???????? 82% of kids listen to podcasts with their parents. This creates a unique co-listening environment where families are consuming content together, offering advertisers direct access to both children and their purchasing-decision-making parents. ??The car emerged as a primary listening environment, with 78% of respondents stating that they listen to kids and family podcasts while driving, making it a distraction-free companion for family road trips and commutes. Compared to more visually-driven media like YouTube, streaming services, news outlets, and gaming platforms, which are consumed amongst a myriad of competing distractions, car listening offers a more focused environment for advertisers, ensuring maximum message retention. ??71% of respondents reported a household income of over $100,000, and 56% identified as listening to podcasts for over three years. ??The survey also revealed that families primarily discover podcasts by listening to other podcasts (52%) and through platform homepages (45%), with recommendations from friends or family (42%) also playing a significant role. This suggests listeners are more likely to follow trusted recommendations once they find a show they enjoy, giving advertisers the perfect entry-point for reaching new audiences in a venue they already trust.

I’m still reflecting on the great conversations we had about the untapped opportunities for brands in Kids & Family podcasts at #AdWeekNYC! We unveiled new survey findings that showcase the opportunities in this growing space. Pinna, our Family Audio division at Realm, teamed up with Story Pirates, Rebel Girls, and the GoKidGo Network to survey podcast fans, and the results are game-changing for brands looking to connect with high-income families in a trusted, engaging environment. Here are some key insights: ?? 82% of families co-listen to podcasts, offering a unique chance to engage both parents and kids. ?? 78% of listening happens in the car—a distraction-free setting perfect for capturing attention. ?? 71% of respondents report household incomes of $100K+. As more families seek screen-free entertainment, Kids & Family podcasts are proving to be a powerful platform for advertisers to connect meaningfully with multi-generational audiences. We’re excited to help brands reach families during these key moments! https://lnkd.in/eQ5mUYQx
