How Sound Trip works for advertisers

Sound Trip connects local businesses with riders in motion — reaching customers in the perfect moment, just before they arrive.

You share your existing promo

Send us a digital promo you already use — your chef's special, happy hour offer, or a social post. No need to create new content.

We turn it into a short audio ad

Our team transforms your message into a 10–15 second natural-sounding audio ad — something riders actually enjoy hearing, not a typical "radio ad."

Drivers deliver your message

Rideshare drivers use the Sound Trip app, which automatically plays your ad through their car's audio near your target zone. Drivers earn per verified play — so they're motivated to keep rides engaging and on-brand.

You only pay for verified plays

Every play is tracked and verified — the ad fully played, the car was in motion, and the destination matched your nearby zone. You only pay for real, local impressions — never empty plays or mismatched trips.

Why ride-time audio for advertisers

The final minutes of a ride are the perfect moment to reach customers — they're thinking about what's nearby, committed to arriving, and audio cuts through without competing visual distractions.

  • Riders are committed — they're already heading to your area
  • Focused moment — thinking about arrival and what's nearby
  • Audio cuts through — no competing visual distractions
  • Perfect timing — plays right before they arrive at their destination
