Acast

In 2025, Acast’s Commercial Team set the benchmark for excellence in a rapidly evolving podcast landscape, delivering award-winning innovation, standout growth, and industry leadership. As podcasting expanded across audio, video, and social, the team exceeded targets through market-leading solutions including AdCollab Chat, AI-powered Acast Intelligence, Smart Recommendations, and an enhanced Self-Serve platform—driving higher spend, repeat bookings, and stronger advertiser performance. A landmark partnership with Little Dot Studios created the UK’s leading podcast audio and video marketplace, unlocking premium content on YouTube.

Equally, the team championed inclusion and education through Acast Ads Academy, Podcasts in Colour, and high-impact industry events, while proprietary research such as Podcast Pulse and the Incremental Impact Study positioned Acast as a trusted authority on audience behaviour and campaign effectiveness. The results speak for themselves: 9% growth in new clients, 19% more campaigns booked, 43% year-on-year social revenue growth, and 13 industry awards. Backed by an inclusive culture with 64% female leadership, Acast’s Commercial Team delivered a defining year of creative, commercial, and cultural impact.
