Veritone One, one of the world’s leading performance influencer and audio advertising agencies, today announced that Purple, a leader in comfort innovation and the creator of the renowned Purple® Mattress, has selected Veritone One as an agency of record for audio advertising.

Purple chose Veritone One for the agency’s audio advertising expertise and unmatched performance assessment, transparency and accountability delivered through AI-powered analytics and reporting. Veritone One will help Purple redesign its audio advertising strategy by leveraging a mixed platform approach of podcast, radio and streaming advertisements.

“Partnering with Veritone One was a natural fit as they are on the cutting-edge of audio technology and we have a legacy of being technology innovators,” said James Brohamer, Omnichannel Marketing Director for Purple. “We are confident that Veritone One can help us successfully overhaul our audio strategy with the help of their AI technology and insights that allow for quick pivots in the ever-changing landscape of audio advertising.”

Using Veritone One’s proprietary reporting and data visualization dashboard, VCAP, Purple will have near real-time access to ad performance and measurement data. The VCAP dashboard will be tailored to Purple’s specific KPIs and campaign objectives. With all performance data in one place, Purple’s dedicated account team can quickly evaluate channel performance and ad efficacy.
