We built Castlytics to solve a problem we kept hearing from brands: podcast and creator campaigns are expensive, but almost impossible to measure properly. Tracking links help, but they miss everyone who types the URL manually. Promo codes help, but they don't capture the full picture. Post-purchase surveys fill in some gaps, but analysing them is manual work.
For a single brand running a handful of campaigns, that was already a meaningful problem. For agencies managing creator campaigns across five, ten, or twenty clients simultaneously, it was a different level of painful.
Today we're announcing that Castlytics is now built for agencies too.
@niels_schnadt Nice idea. Tracking real impact from podcasts is still hard today, this looks very useful. How easy is it to set up the first campaign?
@amraniyasser Super easy really. You can have your first tracking link live in under 2 minutes ... just sign up, create a campaign and you get a short link to give your podcast host or creator.
If you like to give it a crack, I have a free tier that covers up to 3 campaigns, no credit card needed, so you can test it properly.
To get the full picture (vanity path tracking + conversion revenue), you would need to drop a small JavaScript snippet on your site ... one line in your <head>. It takes about 5 minutes and works on any platform (Shopify, WordPress, custom). To make it easy I have added a step-by-step guide built into the onboarding flow.
But honestly, have a play around and just sign up and try it. The tracking link alone already tells you a lot and you will see exactly how it works from inside the dashboard.
Thank you so much for your support!!
