Full line-up announced for HARK Live in Manchester

HARK Collective has confirmed the full speaker line-up for HARK Live, taking place at voco Manchester on 29th April 2026. The free event, brought to you by audioadpro, will unite agencies, businesses and brands from across the digital audio advertising sector for a day of insight, discussion and networking, marking the official launch of the collective.

Speakers confirmed for the event are from ACCENT, Audiomob, Distorted, Get Carter Productions, Humanise and Octave, who will explore how advertisers can better understand, engage and influence listeners across digital audio.

With 'Know Your Audience’ as the theme underpinning the day’s agenda, the programme will address how to plan strategically ahead of production, what creative best practice looks like across audio channels, and how brands can navigate audience behaviour in today’s media landscape.

HARK Collective was founded to connect professionals working across the digital audio advertising space, with a mission centred on driving greater scale, effectiveness and creativity within the sector through collaboration and a stronger collective voice for the industry.

“Bringing together this breadth of expertise under one roof reflects exactly what HARK is about,” said Roger Cutsforth, Co-Founder of audioadpro. “We want the delegates to leave our first event with fresh thinking, new connections and a real sense of what digital audio advertising can deliver.”
