What do advertisers want from the audio marketplace in general and from radio in particular?

Let’s ask an agency head! Or in this case, an “anti-agency” head: Ric Militi, CEO of InnoVision, a company that buys terrestrial radio, Pandora, and a whole lot more.

This was one of the standout Q&A’s from hivio 2014, the audio future festival.

Among the questions Ric answers:

• 
  
• What kind audio do you buy? Why?
  
• What is the BEST thing about the audio space from the advertiser’s perspective?
  
• How do you factor in — or overrule — Nielsen ratings in your decision-making?
  
• How do you see your buying decisions changing in the future?
  
• How is traditional radio missing out, if at all? What don’t broadcasters understand that they need to?
  
• What advice would you give to anyone in the audio space who wanted you to spend money with them?
  
• Do you spend on podcasts? Why/why not?
