Balanced Portfolios: Applying Investment Philosophies to Acast’s Product Management

At Acast, we host more than 135,000 podcasts, attracting more than a billion listens each quarter. Our product team is dedicated to connecting these podcasts, and their vast global audiences, with the right brands. More specifically, we do this by building software products that allow us to match podcast creators' audiences with brands that want to advertise to them. We enable this matchmaking through our productized Acast marketplace. We also serve the podcast episode to the listener and dynamically stitch in the ad, depending on who that user is. Essentially, we help match advertisers and audiences in a way that helps grow the creator economy and allows more people to connect through storytelling worldwide.
