The State of Podcast Agencies 2024 report delves into the challenges and opportunities faced by podcast agencies today, highlighting significant findings such as:

• Trackable ROI remains the largest constraint for client success, impacting 33% of podcast agencies.
• The majority of new business for agencies (88%) comes from word-of-mouth recommendations, followed closely by referrals (81%).
• Despite advances in analytic tools, 83% of agencies still rely primarily on download numbers to gauge client success.
