Platform and Feature Updates Nov 2019 — Jan 2020
January 2020 is already over (where did the time go!) so it’s time to let you all know what we’ve been working on for the past few months!
Omny Campaign Manager (OCM)
Integrated ad manager
Give users access to the campaign management interface, for scheduling and targeting ad campaigns
Powered by Triton Digital
The Omny Campaign Manager is built using Triton Digital’s world-leading advertising technology — providing unparalleled power and scale
More to come
There are continual OCM features and expansions planned in 2020, including reporting and forecasting.
Omny Campaign Manager (OCM) — Targeting
Target specific ad markers
Use Omny Studio’s inline editor to drop midroll ad markers and tag them for granular targeting. See demo video here
…specific episodes…
Target a single or group of episodes or episodes older or younger than a date range
and geographical regions
Include or exclude certain countries, regions or cities for each flight
Omny Campaign Manager (OCM) — Pacing
Select flight priority
Three different priority options: remnant, standard and sponsorship. Each priority also has a low, medium or high weighting to choose from.
Pacing
Evenly paced or as-fast-as-possible pacing options for each flight.
Ensure that goals are met
OCM will intelligently prioritize flights to ensure goals are met if they are under or over-delivering.
Transcriptions
NEW: Human-generated transcripts
Send your audio off to be transcribed by an actual human with 99% accuracy and a 12 hour turn-around.
Automated machine transcripts
Generate transcripts for your clips and recordings quickly and accurately. Now supports over 28 additional languages.
Publishing endpoints
Publish transcripts to the Omny embed players, Omny.fm pages and to the Headliner videos.
Ad-free playlists
Ad-free option for every feed
Using a tokenized system, each playlist in your Omny Studio organization now has a ‘shadow’ ad-free playlist option for premium subscribers.
Future plans
This token system will be built upon in future releases, for further ad-free podcast distribution options.
Geo-block content*
Block or allow geographic regions
For each podcast series, publishers can block or allow podcast downloads based on the region that the listener is based in.
Replacement audio
If the listener is blocked from downloading, replacement audio can be set for each region. For example, if the podcast was blocked in Japan, the replacement audio could say ‘this podcast isn’t available in Japan.’ etc.
*Selected customers only
Comparison analytics
Select episodes
Select up to 10 different episodes you’d like to compare download numbers for.
Track performance

Translated embed players
