Podsights, a podcast advertising measurement service, will be able to utilise Spotify’s technology and intelligence to bring more accurate measurement and actionable insights to podcast advertisers, the Swedish firm, said in a blog post.
Chartable is a podcast analytics platform that helps publishers with their podcast audiences through promotional attribution and audience insight tools like SmartLinks and SmartPromos.
Spotify said the acquisition of Chartable will also strengthen the offerings of its podcast advertisement platform Megaphone, which it purchased in late 2020 for $235 million. Last December, the company also bought an Australia-based podcast technology platform Whooshkaa, as part of its efforts to modernise digital audio advertising.
According to BACL, the biophilic-inspired business park will offer smart workspaces within a vibrant public realm. The project’s most exceptional and breathtaking attribute lies in the Urban Forest, a lush oasis in the centre of the development. This green space will serve as a focal point, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the area. The upcoming metro station in Airport City will provide seamless connectivity to the business park from the northern side, ensuring convenient accessibility.
