Proof of Concept in the Nordics – Global Ambitions Ahead

Podspace has already established itself as a trusted partner for leading publishers and media houses in the Nordics, where both SaaS revenues and advertising have grown rapidly. This proven profitable model now forms the foundation for the company’s global expansion.

“The podcast industry is on the verge of its next big shift – where technology not only distributes audio, but builds a data-driven business that gives publishers control over distribution and seamlessly connects audio, video, and digital advertising. That’s where the market is heading, and Podspace aims to lead that transformation on a global scale,” says Carl Fridsjö.

This fall, Podspace will continue its expansion with new hires across Europe and the U.S., while preparing for further international rollouts.
