Don't just take our word for it
“Dovetail has turned out to be more than just a tool for us. Because of the way that you've supported us in the transition, it's helped us strengthen our creator community. We have in-house podcasts, but we also work with teams that operate mostly independently. We're able to offer them so much more now, which has allowed us to expand our podcast network into something more robust. Having a tool that truly meets our needs is the glue.”
“Dovetail has really allowed us to streamline podcast operations — from production to marketing support and data-driven decision making. PRX’s tools integrate well with other tools across the industry, which has allowed us to build a single process that works well for us where we are right now. And there’s a lot of room to grow!”
Built with listener privacy in mind
PRX is taking the lead in establishing standards that ensure the safety of audiences while maximizing revenue opportunities.
Why should you care about privacy?
- Mission: Trust is a two-way street. Public media's ability to thrive depends on the trust our listeners place in us. Using personal data without permission violates that trust.
- Compliance: Privacy regulations are strengthening, not weakening. It is essential for content creators to be ready.
- Technology: Big tech companies like Apple are taking a stand on privacy and will force others to do the same. PRX is an active leader in building values-based technology on behalf of all of our partners.
