Ozen.fm Launches With Worldwide Reach, Multilingual Ad Capabilities.

A new programmatic monetization company called Ozen.fm has launched with a network of more than 100,000 shows operating in more than 50 countries. The company says the platform offers ad buyers a new scalable, multilingual sales option as it already reaches more than 5 million listeners each month speaking 15 different languages.

“Ozen.fm is more than just a platform, it’s a commitment to advancing the future of podcasting on a global scale,” co-founder and President Rodrigo Tigre says in the announcement. He says their core goal is to bring programmatic demand to podcasters not only in the U.S., but also across regions like Latin America and Europe.

For podcasters looking for Ozen to sell its inventory programmatically, the company says a large audience isn’t necessarily required. It says it focuses on “relevant, targeted content,” not just audience size. That means creators can submit their podcasts and Ozen will review it and decide whether to integrate the show into its programmatic monetization system. There is no upfront cost, with Ozen making its money through a revenue-share model with podcasters. The revenue split varies depending on the market, partner, and volume.

“We believe that combining advanced technology with editorial excellence enhances the podcast listening experience and drives deeper engagement,” Tigre says. “Developing scalable monetization strategies is essential to sustain and grow this ecosystem. By harmonizing technology, content and monetization, we can create a vibrant future for podcasts.”

Ozen says it is currently working with podcast hosting platforms including Acast, Spreaker, RSS.com, Libsyn, Blubrry, Genuina Media, Adswizz, Entravision, Barometer, Audiohook, Triton Digital and NumberEight, among others.

“We’re building a space where creators thrive, advertisers achieve meaningful results, and audiences can easily discover the content that speaks to them. With the power of technology, curation, and strategic partnerships, Ozen.fm isn’t just keeping pace with the evolution of podcasting; we’re shaping what comes next.”

Brazil-based Tigre joined Zeno Media in May as its new Director of Podcast Strategy, but Ozen.fm is an independent venture that he has been working on for some time. Tigre earlier was Head of Audio for AdsMovil. Before that he was country manager for Entravision Cisneros Interactive.
