June 14, 2023 – London, UK:

Audiomob, a leading global AdTech solution provider in mobile gaming, has partnered with Katz Digital Audio, America’s leading solution for streaming audio and podcasting. Katz Digital Audio is part of Katz Media Group, the largest media representation company in the US. The partnership combines Audiomob’s audio-only advertising format for mobile gaming with Katz's massive reach in the US market, further expanding Katz’s gaming vertical. 

Katz Digital Audio is a true audio anywhere platform, providing advertisers access to more than 5,000 audio streams and 250,000 podcasts, reaching 230 million monthly consumers. Brigid Judge, Audiomob’s US Business Lead said: “Teaming up with Katz was a natural and unquestionable decision for us. They are highly regarded as a leading digital audio network in the US, and we are thrilled and proud to join forces with them to revolutionize digital audio advertising in the realm of mobile gaming.”

Katz is the first US media sales company to drive Audiomob's patented audibility technology as the industry standard for delivering in-game audio ads. Audiomob is the only company that provides this patented technology which ensures that the ads are always audible when played. This gives advertisers confidence that their in-game ads will reach and engage with audiences. A recent study saw that 80% of people liked that Audiomob’s ads did not disrupt gameplay. By the end of 2023, Audiomob is projected to scale 3 billion impressions per quarter. 

“With 155 million mobile gamers in the U.S., mobile gaming has massive universal appeal across all demographics. We’re excited to help advertisers ignite growth by tapping into Audiomob’s impressive in-game ad technology to reach consumers everywhere audio exists,” said Scott Porretti, President of Katz Digital Audio.

The integration of audibility technology also has practical applications for Katz’s sizable stake with advertisers at local and national levels. Advertisers will be able to better target key audience demographics, which also strengthens Katz’s political advertising portfolio, especially in the run-up to the 2024 US elections. 

CEO of Katz Media Group, Mark Gray, adds, “Katz serves as a trusted partner to an ever-expanding portfolio of digital audio publishers and advertisers nationwide. We are thrilled to add Audiomob's mobile gaming technology to our premium content and continue to help brands reach and engage with diverse audiences with unmatched scale across any device, geography, or target segment.” 

Christian Facey, Forbes 30 under 30 awardee and CEO of Audiomob, stated “As an award-winning startup that’s expanding into the US market, it’s vital that we only work with the best of the best. That is why partnering with Katz, the largest and most reputable demand partner in the US, is so exciting. Working with Katz, we can help advertisers to scale in a hyper-engaged medium, by providing only the most relevant audio ads. This ultimately helps to build more credibility and trust between brands and users.”
