Podcast-style ads for running gear on Facebook Marketplace
Podcast-style ads on Facebook Marketplace give running gear brands full message control in 1:1, 15–30s format. Runners trust the recommendations of other runners. Podcast-style ads let a host share their training story, the injury that led to new shoes, or the watch that transformed their pacing — real experiences that drive conviction.
