Audioboom Launches International Expansion Role

Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the leading global podcast company, is pleased to announce the appointment of Craig Eastwood as Vice President - International. Mr. Eastwood who previously served as Commercial Operations Director at British podcast network Adelicious, steps into an expanded role that will be pivotal to Audioboom's long-term growth strategy.

As Vice President - International, Mr. Eastwood will be responsible for spearheading Audioboom's global roadmap. His remit includes developing commercial partnerships in key distribution regions, shaping and executing strategies for on-the-ground operations in new territories, and identifying opportunities for growth through mergers and acquisitions outside the US and UK.

These priorities will be central to strengthening the Company's position as the partner of choice for creators and brands worldwide.

The appointment follows Audioboom's recent acquisition of Adelicious, which created the UK's largest homegrown podcast network. Mr. Eastwood's move into this new role signals Audioboom's ambition to replicate that success across international markets.

Craig Eastwood, Vice President - International, commented: "Drawing on the experience of helping Adelicious achieve rapid growth, I'm excited to apply those learnings on a larger global scale. The podcast industry continues to evolve rapidly - international markets present huge opportunity for both creators and advertisers."

Audioboom's CEO, Stuart Last, commented: "Craig's leadership has been central to the success of Adelicious and their integration with Audioboom. His deep understanding of both the operational and commercial sides of podcasting make him the ideal person to take on this expanded role, and this appointment marks an important step as we build the next phase of Audioboom's global growth."
