Acast

I'm thrilled to announce that Acast has acquired Backyard Ventures, a leading US creator network based in Austin, Texas. Backyard brings a premium roster of 200+ US creators and a sales team that is among the best in the business at omnichannel, video-led sponsorships. Paired with Acast's world-class team, creators, and global demand, this combination makes both sides stronger from day one. Together we can help creators grow across every surface and give advertisers omnichannel campaigns at a scale neither of us could reach alone, with podcasting at the core. Huge congratulations to the teams on both sides who made this happen 🚀

I'll be at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity later this month, representing Acast. If you want to talk narrative influence, the future of podcast advertising, or just want to drink all the rosé, let's connect.

I'm so proud of the Acast team for this. In an industry that makes a lot of noisy announcements about future intentions, it feels great to show real execution. Thanks to the great podcast team at Apple for the partnership. It's fun to see such high quality brands making this leap with us. Creators win! https://lnkd.in/equybfkb
