Leading With Trailers

Amaze Media Labs has taken its Trailergram product out of beta, launching it on the audiencelift.com. Trailergram invites podcasters to upload their trailers, which then are positioned with contextual relevance on its AI-powered audience growth platform. Podcasters benefit from trailer plays alongside contextually relevent content, where listeners can subscribe to the show. “We have been consistently blown away by the results creators and publishers have been reporting after using audiencelift,” said Amaze Founder Robert Tuchman.
