In the digital age in which we find ourselves, traditional marketing strategiesën are no longer enough to capture consumers' attention. Brands need to be increasingly innovative and communicate their message in new ways.

One of the most popular and effective ways to do this is through podcasts. From Media House, we already had several podcast titles of which Kick Off, for example, is a well-known one. The market is looking for a large reach and preferably a one-stop shop to reach the millions of listeners.

By partnering with various podcast publishers, we have brought together a large reach in ééone network with over 10 million listens per month, in the form of the Audiohuis Podcast Network.

This network includes De Stroom, FC Afkicken, Corti Media, ILVY Network but also major titles such as America in 15 minutes, Hard Gras, Kieft Jansen Egmond Gijp, Chantal Janzen and Tina de Bruijn.
