New premium podcast advertising agency ‘White Media’ opens
White Media has launched as a new agency specialising in podcast and audio advertising.
The announcement:
Today marks the launch of White Media, a specialised audio advertising agency focused exclusively on premium podcast advertising. Combining full-service agency strategy with specialised sales representation, White Media is set to become a trusted partner for advertisers, media buyers, and podcast creators across Australia.
With a growing roster of respected audio publishers, White Media connects brands to highly engaged podcast audiences through authentic, data-backed sponsorships and host-read ads. Launch clients include The Bye Round, Soberly Speaking, Emotional Content, Life! With Danni Duncan, Playing & Simple and Can’t Handle The Crime & Scandal.
“Audio advertising is no longer just about being heard, it’s about being remembered,” said Frankie White, the agency’s founder and a former sales executive at SCA and ARN with more than a decades’ experience in media and sales.
“Our mission is to make podcast and audio advertising simple yet powerful. We’re proud to amplify Australian voices with strategies that resonate and deliver results.”
Amy-Jane Brand, the founder and host of the Emotional Content podcast, shared her reasons for partnering with White Media.
“I’ve chosen to work with Frankie at White Media because she backs independently built podcasts with the kind of passion and drive that mirrors my own. Her years of industry experience, combined with a genuine commitment to supporting creators outside the mainstream, is exactly what the Australian podcast space needs more of.
“That’s what sets her apart. As someone committed to staying independent, I want women like Frankie on my team – visionary, strategic, and deeply aligned with my vision for Emotional Content and the future of podcasting.”
Soberly Speaking’s Julia Rangiheuea adds, “As an independent podcaster, protecting my integrity is everything. That’s why I chose to work with Frankie. She sees the vision, respects the brand and isn’t here to change me. With her background in sales and her belief in what I’m already doing, it was a no-brainer to partner with White Media.”
Bridging the gap between creators and advertisers
Positioned uniquely at the intersection of brands, platforms, and creators, White Media bridges the gap between independent podcast hosts and national advertisers. Its dual approach offers scalable advertising solutions that prioritise authenticity, audience targeting, and meaningful messaging.
“Traditional ad formats are increasingly ignored, but podcast ads are trusted, intimate, and impactful,” White explains. “We’re giving advertisers the tools to cut through the noise, while helping content creators focus on doing what they do best, creating outstanding audio experiences.”
Solving the complexities of podcast advertising
The launch comes as Australia’s audio advertising market continues to surge, with podcast listenership growing nationwide. White says the agency addresses key challenges in podcast advertising, including fragmented ad placements, campaign scalability, and reliable ROI tracking.
“By simplifying these complexities, White Media gives brands unparalleled access to premium audio inventory, while helping podcasts unlock more monetisation opportunities.”
White also notes that the timing of the agency couldn’t be better.
“Australia is embracing audio-first strategies, with more than nine million people listening to podcasts each month. Data shows that 65% of listeners take actions after hearing podcast ads, highlighting the medium’s effectiveness.
“Advertisers need streamlined, performance-driven solutions that work across radio, streaming, and podcasts. That’s exactly what White Media provides,” she adds.
