Magellan AI, a leading podcast advertising measurement and intelligence platform, today announced a partnership with Signal Hill Insights, a specialist in brand lift and audience research, to bring unified brand and performance measurement to podcast advertising.
The partnership connects Signal Hill Insight’s brand lift studies with Magellan’s exposure and performance data. Magellan captures ad exposure across both dynamically inserted and baked-in podcast ads using tags and server-side integrations, including inventory that has historically been difficult to measure at scale. That exposure data feeds directly into Signal Hill Insight’s studies, enabling more precise audience matching, stronger control groups, and a more reliable read on how campaigns shift awareness, favorability, and intent.
“This partnership gives advertisers a more complete picture of campaign impact, connecting brand perception to real downstream behavior in one place,” said Jim Ballas, President, Measurement at Magellan AI.
The result is a more unified measurement workflow. Advertisers get a single view of brand and performance outcomes without needing to manage multiple vendors, datasets, or reporting streams.
“Advertisers are asking for clearer, more connected measurement across the funnel,” said Paul Riismandel, President of Signal Hill Insights. “By pairing Magellan’s exposure data with our brand lift methodology, we can provide a deeper dive into how messaging is moving consumers through that funnel, including those who have yet to take any action. This delivers a more accurate view on how podcast campaigns influence both perception and action.”
The partnership is designed to be flexible, making it easier for advertisers to access both brand lift and performance measurement through a single workflow and point of contact.
