Event summary:
Over the last year, the audio industry started every day at top volume and didn’t let up a decibel.

Consumer demand for audio left advertisers scrambling to catch up with reality, and the crescendo continues to show no sign of stopping soon. In this panel, find out: What has been the most exciting development in audio over the last year? Why has audio advertising had such a strong performance; to what extent is this explained by pureplay entrants? How are improved advertiser perceptions influencing spending intentions? What is most exciting about the future of audio and what capabilities should we expect? How are we delivering the foundations for the future? Why should investors be tuning into the success of the audio advertising industry?
