How to advertise on Office Ladies: what it costs, who buys, and how to book

Abhishek Thory

Office Ladies sells its host-read inventory through the hosts' own operation rather than off a public rate card, quoted per campaign. Spotsnow attributes the overwhelming majority of the show's ads to direct response, close to 95%, and its top spender, BetterHelp, has run roughly 44 to 51 ads on the feed. For a buyer, that mix reads as a coded, promo-driven machine, not a branding billboard. Spotsnow estimates all of this from tracked advertiser activity, not audience surveys.

Why Office Ladies is built for host-read direct response
Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey played Pam Beesly and Angela Martin on The Office, and now break the series down episode by episode. They co-authored the New York Times bestseller The Office BFFs, so the credibility they lend a read isn't borrowed, it's lived. The show sits in mental health care territory for its top advertiser, but its category placement is TV and film.
Spotsnow attributes close to 95% of the show's ads to direct response. That's the format doing the work: promo codes, vanity URLs, and clean attribution a brand can actually measure. Reach is estimated at roughly 1,700,000 listeners per Spotsnow, and that number is an estimate, not an audited count.
The rewatch format is why attention holds through the break. The hosts fold a sponsor into the same warm, story-first cadence they use for a set anecdote, so listeners don't reflexively skip. A host-read borrows that trust. When two people who lived the source material vouch for a product, the ad rides the same credibility as the show.
Engagement backs it up. Apple Podcasts carries an average rating near 4.8 stars across roughly 81,000 to 90,000 ratings, and Instagram following sits around 1,000,000. YouTube and TikTok are lighter, so the influence here is concentrated in the feed and on Instagram, where the audience actually shows up.
Who is advertising on Office Ladies
The roster runs deep and blue-chip, with Spotsnow tracking roughly 86 to 101 brands in the recent window. Recognizable names include BetterHelp, Squarespace, State Farm, Indeed, and DoorDash.
The anchor advertisers, broken down
BetterHelp
BetterHelp sells online therapy memberships. Spotsnow data shows roughly 44 to 51 ads on the show and estimated total spend over $1M, all classified as direct response. An audience skewing female, younger, and mid-career maps cleanly to a therapy subscription sold on convenience and a promo code.
Squarespace
Squarespace sells website building and hosting for creators and small businesses. Spotsnow shows roughly 32 to 38 ads and estimated total spend over $1M, direct response. A female-skewing, entrepreneurial-leaning listenership fits a builder aimed at people launching their own thing, which the hosts themselves did.
State Farm
State Farm sells auto, home, and life insurance. Spotsnow shows roughly 29 to 34 ads and estimated total spend over $1M, classified as direct response with a small awareness edge. A broad, US-concentrated household audience in prime insurance-buying years is a natural fit for a national insurer.
| Brand | Est. total spend | Direct-response | Time of spend (last 1 year) |
|---|---|---|---|
| BetterHelp | Over $1M | Yes | Recurring through the year, active into recent months |
| Squarespace | Over $1M | Yes | Recurring, active into recent months |
| State Farm | Over $1M | Yes | Concentrated in the most recent two quarters |
All spend figures are Spotsnow estimates.
Why TV and film brands cluster here
Rewatch fandom is a rare thing in podcasting: an audience that shows up weekly out of affection, not obligation. The hosts aren't reviewing a show from the outside, they made it. That authority is why a therapy service, a website builder, and a national insurer all repeat-buy the same feed instead of testing once and leaving. The listener is in a warm, nostalgic headspace, already leaning in, and a coded offer read in the hosts' own voice lands as a recommendation rather than an interruption. When three brands with nothing in common all sink over $1M each into the same show, the pattern isn't the pitch, it's the trust the pitch travels on.
How your ad could sound
Host-read, Office Ladies (Primally Pure)
0:00 / 0:00What works: the read leans into unhurried, first-person storytelling that keeps listeners through the break. A line like "I remember driving down over the next year watching as the house was built" carries the same texture as the show's own anecdotes, so the handoff into a sponsor feels natural rather than bolted on. That personal framing is the whole reason a host-read outperforms a produced spot here.
What's worth tightening: a segment this warm can drift before the offer arrives. If you buy this show, insist the discount code and the call to action land inside the same segment as the story, with a clear next step and a reason to act now. Attention earned by a good anecdote is wasted if the code shows up late or the CTA stays vague.

What makes a show like this convert
- The format sells trust. Close to 95% of the show's ads are direct response, per Spotsnow, because a host-read carries codes and URLs a brand can measure.
- The hosts have real authority. Fischer and Kinsey lived the source material, so an endorsement reads as a recommendation, not a script.
- The audience is engaged and reachable. An estimated 1,700,000 listeners, a 4.8-star Apple rating, and roughly 1,000,000 Instagram followers point to a fan base that actually listens.
- Repeat buying proves the math. BetterHelp's roughly 44 to 51 ads is not a test, it's a brand that keeps coming back because the returns hold.
Office Ladies in a nutshell
The audience skews female, concentrated in the US, and clusters among younger to mid-career adults with a meaningful high-income slice. BetterHelp, Squarespace, and State Farm all buy in on host-reads, each with estimated spend over $1M. The show is quoted per campaign rather than sold off a public rate card. If your goal is coded, measurable direct response, this feed is built for it.
Frequently asked questions
Office Ladies is sold on a quoted basis rather than a public rate card. Four things move the number: placement (mid-roll host-read prices above pre-roll and post-roll), read type (a host endorsement prices above a produced spot), commitment length (multi-episode flights and category exclusivity price better than a single test), and how close you are to the air date. For market context, a host-read spot on a typical show costs a brand roughly $20 to $30 for every thousand listeners it reaches. In-demand shows clear well above that. The more useful signal for this show is who already buys: BetterHelp has run roughly 44 to 51 ads, alongside Squarespace and State Farm. Repeat buying at that level tells you more about where a show prices, and what it's worth to the brands buying it, than an outside estimate can.
Ads run on most episodes, so the show is in demand and inventory moves fast. Plan on reaching out sooner than you think you need to.
Plan on about 1 week to book, 2 to 3 weeks to produce and run, plus 2 to 3 weeks of lead time, so roughly 5 to 7 weeks end to end.
Office Ladies is sold direct rather than through one of the large networks. You can approach the hosts' representation, the Office Ladies Network, or book through a platform that already has the show in its inventory. You can view different advertising platforms here.
Yes. Spotsnow attributes close to 95% of the show's ads to direct response, and the anchor advertisers all run coded host-reads. If you're a DTC or services brand selling on a promo code, this feed's mix is aimed at you rather than at pure awareness.
