Acast, also known as Acast AB (publ), is a publicly owned company headquartered in Sweden. Founded in 2014 with approximately 410 employees, the company operates in the online audio and video media sector. It specializes in providing programmatic ad buying solutions for the podcast industry.
On March 3, 2026, Acast promoted Kate Digby to the newly created role of sales director ANZ and appointed Katie Stenson as group business director, as it expands its Australian operations. Digby, previously Acast's commercial strategy director, will be tasked with driving revenue growth and overseeing the company’s commercial direction across Australia and New Zealand. This follows the company's March 1 announcement of the opening of its new Sydney office and podcast studio in Woolloomooloo, intended to serve as a central hub for its growing Australian operations, an event preceded by a housewarming party on February 27 to launch the new facility. Previously, on February 21, Acast secured a multi-year exclusive partnership with "The Best One Yet," a daily pop-business podcast that has accumulated over 80 million lifetime downloads.
Acast's customers primarily consist of telecoms and financial Services companies. Examples of Acast's customers include HSBC and Virgin Media O2 (VMO2).
