New Ad Tech Tool Launch

Investor Presentation

Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the leading global podcast company, is pleased to announce the launch of AdRip, a new proprietary advertising technology tool that enables the re-monetisation of the network's vast back catalogue of content.

AdRip - unique to Audioboom - automates the removal of historic 'live-read' advertising that has been previously embedded into shows and is no longer providing revenue. The tool replaces the embedded advertising with new ad-breaks, which then allow Audioboom to sell and insert new ads each time an episode is downloaded in the future.

Audioboom's content receives more than 92 million downloads per month, with more than 50% of that consumption on back catalogue or historic episodes. AdRip will create significant levels of new inventory that can then be monetised through Audioboom's proven sales channels.

AdRip becomes part of Audioboom's advertising technology stack, which gives the Company greater control over revenue generation. Audioboom is able to manage the full chain of distribution, inventory creation, sales and targeted ad-serving across its entire portfolio.

Revenue generated through ad tech has risen from 5% of total revenue in 2020 to 9% in 2021 and the Company will continue to invest in ad tech developments to deliver further growth.

Stuart Last, CEO, said: "We continue to innovate to create tools that will provide scale to our business. As the industry develops, historic episodes will become an even larger part of the listening mix, and with the launch of AdRip we are opening up an opportunity to deliver value against a huge catalogue of rich content."
