ARN’S iHeartPodcast Network has announced a multi-year partnership with TED to represent their podcast slate in Australia including both sales representation and amplification.
Delivering over 1.8 million Australian downloads every month, the slate is led by TED Talks Daily. Every weekday Australians listen for ideas on every subject imaginable — from artificial intelligence to zoology— given by thinkers and creators from around the world. The slate covers a further 20-plus shows engaging Australians across topics like business, health, technology and Work content.
Corey Layton, head of digital audio said TED’s leading content has been inspiring and educating listeners for years.
"We’re proud that TED has entrusted us to pair their premium slate with brands and listeners alike," he said.
Laura Beyer, senior director of TED Partnerships, said the company is excited to bring TED's audio content to Australia and New Zealand, where it's long had a strong following of people watching TED Talks online and hosting independently organized TEDx events in their local communities.
“This will now enable us to reach a more global audience with a diverse range of topics — from technology to business to design — and provide access to TED content in a new format," said Beyer.
