In the new media landscape, the importance of audio communication is growing. More and more people choose to listen instead of reading and watching, and more and more people now also choose to talk instead of writing and clicking. This new world – with new technology and new behaviours, where we meet our listeners both on air, online and on demand – we call “the new soundscape”.

Through our way of interacting with technology and reaching every other Swede weekly on our user-friendly platforms, we make our listeners' world sound better. In a landscape where both content and interaction are sound-borne, sound also becomes crucial for our advertisers and our job is to make sure they reach an audience that listens.

With over 60% share of the audio market Bauer Media Audio Sweden is the market leader for audio. We have a unique position on-air, online and on demand. Because our listeners are listeners regardless of where we meet them.

On-air and online with radio, including leading national stations like Mix Megapol, Rockklassiker or NRJ. Our radio stations entertain and inform a total of about 5 million listeners every week and that is 50% of the Swedish population with the purpose of enriching everyday life. In addition, we serve 1 million weekly listeners online and on demand with Podplay and RadioPlay – our platforms for thousands of popular podcasts and digital home to our stations. We have 130 employees, mainly based in Stockholm, plus local broadcasting sites in Gothenburg and Malmö, as well as 18 local sales offices serving over 1,700 clients nationwide.

"Today we have almost 20% of our listening digital, which is fantastic, where the launch of Podplay has been crucial. We have a unique position on-air, online and on demand", says Linda Palmgren, CEO Bauer Media Audio Sweden. "This gives us great opportunities for hybrid creative solutions for advertisers to meet their customers at many different touchpoints and we believe that form a large part of the growth going forward, not at least through programmatic sales and self-service tools."
