Audio Ads

High-impact audio placements — delivered directly to the ears of your target audience.

Rythme’s Audio Ads offer a native, non-intrusive way for artists, labels, and partners to reach listeners during playback. These ads are strategically placed between tracks for users on the free tier, giving your message full audio focus — without needing screens, banners, or clicks.

Whether you're announcing a new album, teasing a drop, or promoting an external brand collaboration, audio ads blend seamlessly with the listening experience — and convert attention into action.

Best Practices

  • ✅ Keep it short, clear, and energetic

  • ✅ Use one CTA only (confusion reduces engagement)

  • ❌ Avoid over-compression or distorted vocals


Ideal For:
