Audioboom Announces Executive
Hires and Record Advertising Inventory
Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the leading
global podcast company, is pleased to announce the hiring of two
key sales executives to expand the Company's revenue
operations.
Molly Harvey, formerly of SiriusXM
and CBS Radio, joins Audioboom as Vice President of Brand Sales,
while Shaun Wilson, formerly of Spotify and Sony Entertainment,
joins as Vice President of UK Sales. Shaun is returning to
Audioboom, where he previously held the role of UK Head of
Sales.
The pair will drive the expansion of
Audioboom's blue-chip customer base following the successful launch
of the Company's brand-focused sales unit in 2023 which has seen
strong early-stage traction with monetisation partnerships
established at 8 out the top 15 major US advertising
agencies.
Joining the Company in April 2024,
Harvey and Wilson will have access to record levels of advertising
inventory through the Audioboom platform. In March 2024, Audioboom
created more than 1.1 billion available advertising impressions -
10% more than the previously announced record of 1 billion in
October 2023.
Audioboom's CEO, Stuart Last,
commented: "Our network flywheel is generating record
levels of advertising inventory and we are investing in our sales
operation to ensure we extract maximum value from it. Molly and
Shaun are highly skilled and experienced sales executives, and they
will play a key part in the growth of Audioboom's monetisation
engine."
Molly Harvey, VP of Brand Sales, commented:
"I'm thrilled to join the team at Audioboom, where
I'm looking forward to leveraging my passion for podcasts and
advertising to drive measurable results for our brand
partners."
Shaun Wilson, VP of UK Sales, commented:
"My return to Audioboom comes
at an opportune time in the podcast space where brands are calling
out for premium, creative, outside the box executions to really
differentiate themselves to audiences."
