audioadpro Expands Team with London Account Director Hire
audioadpro, the programmatic digital audio advertising trade desk, has appointed Chris Compton as Account Director for London, further strengthening its client services team as the business continues to scale to meet demand.
Chris joins from Global Media & Entertainment, where he served as Commercial DAX Gaming Lead, most recently building and commercialising an audio-first gaming proposition within the DAX Portfolio.
With experience spanning media, outdoor, digital, and audio, Chris brings a proven track record in commercial strategy and performance. Over the past 13 years, this focus has been on audio across both traditional and digital channels, working cross-functionally with data, insights, supply, and marketing teams to shape sustainable growth.
Chris comes on board at a defining moment; two years on from its founding, the business has grown from a two-person startup to a team of eleven with its own technology, alongside the recent launch of HARK Collective, an initiative from audioadpro to bring the digital audio advertising industry together.
Commenting on his appointment, Chris said:
“I’m genuinely excited to be joining AAP at such an exciting stage of its journey. For me, the people you surround yourself with are everything - they shape how you grow, learn, and push forward - and it’s clear AAP has built a team with that mindset at its core.
“What’s equally compelling is the product itself: the pace at which the business has evolved, combined with the ambition behind where the technology is heading, makes this a hugely exciting opportunity to be part of.”
audioadpro Co-Founder, Roger Cutsforth, added:
“We are absolutely delighted to welcome Chris to AAP as we continue our investment in the best people alongside the best technology. As soon as Chris and I spoke, I sensed a kindred spirit, and I know he’ll be an instant hit with colleagues and clients. We can’t wait for him to start.”
Welcoming Chris to the team marks a further step in audioadpro’s growth, as it continues to champion a unified, audience-first approach to digital audio advertising - making it more accessible and measurable for agencies and advertisers.
