This initiative aims to seamlessly transform real-time news headlines into dynamic audio content on the Acast podcast network, creating a unique and tailored content experience for listeners.

Acast, one of the leading podcast platforms, will leverage AudioStack’s AI audio technology to transform news.com.au content into compelling content marketing placements within its extensive content catalog.

Aaron Matthews, Head of Creative at Creative Fix, says "This is the next step towards a truly integrated and tailored content experience where listeners receive relevant news updates, in real time, about topics of most interest to them. AudioStack also helps to overcome the traditional barriers faced by audio producers, with most audio ad production being time-consuming, making this ideal for productions with tight timelines.”

AudioStack’s scalable technology not only allows for news content to be delivered in real-time but also dynamically pairs news categories with relevant podcast genres. The process also includes the integration of music and sound design to enhance the overall listening experience.

The news audio ads, presented as 30-second news bulletins represent a forward-thinking collaboration and a major stride in the intersection of traditional news delivery and modern podcast consumption, promising a more engaging and personalized experience for Acast listeners.
