ART19 provides podcast hosting and tools for publishers creating, distributing, monetizing, and measuring shows. Its WarpFeed technology lets publishers choose ad breaks, replace older ads, and serve listener-specific ads. Campaign controls include episode, geographic, and positional targeting, competitive separation, and frequency capping. ART19 supports dynamically inserted audio spots and host-recorded live reads, which can be tracked and targeted through campaigns. Publishers can also tailor RSS feeds for different listening platforms, including feeds for exclusive or ad-free experiences. Analytics cover downloads, impressions, API listens, geographic breakdowns, and listening by user agent. Custom reports can be organized by network, series, episode, campaign, ad, agency, or brand. ART19 says its download measurement uses IAB v2.2 server-side methodology and filters bot and other non-human requests. Podcasts can be submitted manually to services including Amazon Music/Audible, Apple Podcasts, Deezer, iHeart, Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, and YouTube. API access is available by request to network and series owners; it can create and publish episodes and manage feeds and ad markers, but cannot retrieve analytics beyond an episode's all-time download count. Pricing is on request and usage-based hosting varies with bandwidth, episode count and length, downloads, and Dynamic Ad Insertion.
