About Acast

Acast was founded in 2014 and our strategy is to become the world’s largest marketplace for podcast monetization. We do this through connecting podcast creators, advertisers and paying listeners with our technology. We are an independent player working behind the scenes in supplying podcast content direct to hundreds of listening apps, generating and monetizing more than 350 million listens a month. If you are listening to an Acast-connected podcast and hear an ad – it is us delivering that ad behind the scenes and then sharing the revenue with the podcast creator.

Podcast creators come to us to reach and grow as big an audience as possible and, to then monetize that audience to its full potential. Advertisers use our targeted advertising to reach these hyperengaged audiences in an effective way.

Acast has expanded significantly over the last few years and now has a global presence in more than 13 countries. For 2021 the number of listens to Acast podcasts reached 3.7 billion, with net sales over SEK 1bn and today Acast has more than 40,000 podcasts connected to its platform. Acast’s headquarters are located in Stockholm, Sweden, and the Company has nine local subsidiaries including UK, US, Australia, Norway, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico and Canada.

Acast was co-founded by Johan Billgren, current Chief Innovation Officer, and is listed on the Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market. Certified Adviser is FNCA Sweden AB, info@fnca.se, +46 (0) 8528 00 399.
