Voice-activated devices of all kinds are becoming mainstream in the U.S. For brands, the time is now to learn more about user behavior and consumer preferences on these platforms.
Voice Sponsorship
NPR believes in the power of voice to inform and connect us. So, it is no surprise that NPR is leading in today’s voice-activated world. While these devices can help users manage a myriad of things, many are using them to listen to audio – in fact 55% of smart speaker owners report listening to more audio since getting their device. From smartphones to smart speakers, sponsors can work with NPM to identify ways to share their message in NPR content across voice-activated devices.
