Ad Results Media (ARM) is the pre-eminent performance-based audio advertising agency, widely recognized as a pioneer and global leader in the podcast and audio-first media landscape. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Houston, Texas the agency has spent over two decades at the forefront of the audio revolution. In 2010, ARM made history by placing the first-ever advertisement in a podcast, a milestone that cemented its role as a foundational architect of the modern podcasting industry.

Today, ARM serves as a strategic partner for a diverse roster of clients ranging from high-growth startups to Fortune 500 established corporations, including household names like Molson Coors, FanDuel, Pepsi, and ZipRecruiter. We specialize in a comprehensive suite of audio and creator-led channels, including podcasts, terrestrial and satellite radio, streaming audio, and YouTube. By combining the intimate power of host-read endorsements with data-driven precision, ARM helps brands forge authentic, powerful connections with highly engaged audiences.

The agency’s competitive advantage lies in its signal-based planning approach. ARM leverages a proprietary tech stack fueled by AI and machine learning, alongside a massive results database, to move audio from an upper-funnel awareness tool to a measurable, performance-driven engine. Our full-service workflow covers the entire campaign lifecycle: from strategic media planning and expert negotiation to creative execution, product seeding, and advanced analytics reporting. This rigorous focus on measurement, attribution, and incrementality ensures that every ad dollar is optimized for maximum return on investment.

Beyond our technical capabilities, ARM is defined by its extensive industry relationships. As one of the world's largest buyers of podcast media, we possess unmatched purchasing power and access to premium creator networks. This scale was further amplified in early 2025 through a strategic partnership with Stagwell, a global marketing network, which expanded ARM’s reach and integrated its specialized audio intelligence into a broader global infrastructure.

Driven by a culture of relentless curiosity, Ad Results Media continues to innovate in a fragmented media landscape. Whether through our super listeners research studies or our investment in creator-based video, the agency remains committed to its core mission: elevating the power of audio to drive business growth and cultural impact. For brands looking to navigate the complexities of the audio and creator economy, ARM provides the expertise, scale, and data necessary to succeed in the earshare battle.
