YOLO tunes into Audioboom with £245k investment

YOLO tunes into Audioboom with £245k investment

YOLO (LON:YOLO), an AIM listed company investing in leisure and technology, has invested £245,000 in digital social media platform Audioboom (LON:BOOM).

The cash deal sees YOLO acquire 2.5mln shares in the firm – equivalent to a 0.47% stake in the company.

Audioboom styles itself as the NetFlix for audio. It was initially set up as a user generated content social network, akin to Twitter for audio.

However, the service offering is now aimed squarely at the largest broadcasters, publishers and sporting organisations, which use Audioboom’s technology as their default audio player on their websites and social media channels.

Simon Robinson, chief executive of YOLO, said: "We are very pleased to have taken a strategic investment into Audioboom, on the basis that the business has strong growth and value potential within the global mobile audio and streaming sector.

“As the leading spoken-word audio on-demand mobile platform, Audioboom is well positioned to establish a global userbase of listeners covering sport, news, business, entertainment and current affairs."

Audioboom Launches New Android App



Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the leading spoken-word audio on-demand mobile platform, announces that it will relaunch its Android app with an updated design and a host of new features tomorrow.



The new app - which will be available from Google Play - launches shortly after the announcement of the Company's partnership with comedian and presenter, Russell Brand, who will be recording The Russell Brand Podcast exclusively for the platform.



The platform currently has 3.4 million registered users around the world, and works with over 2,300 global content partners and broadcasters.



The Android app includes:



· a completely redesigned interface in line with the Audioboom iOS app;

· Your Player, which plays the freshest content from the channels and people the user is following, plus trending and relevant audio from the categories they like;

· a custom-built recommendations engine to learn what audio the listener loves;

· a download function to save audio posts for offline listening with one swipe;

· an updated record, trim and upload function to let the user quickly create their own clips to share with the world.



Rob Proctor, CEO of Audioboom, commented:

"The launch of our iOS app at the end of last year was a huge success, and we're excited now at long last to bring the same functionality to our Android users. We believe we are reinventing radio consumption for the digital age, and the new app allows people the opportunity to listen and curate audio when they want to. Having moved from user generated content to high quality, professional content, we are rapidly becoming the Netflix for audio."

Following AudioBoom CEO Rob Proctor’s results statement on 23 Feburary, House Broker Arden Partners updated their forecasts on results day.

Arden is forecasting sales of £3m for the year to 30 November 2015 rising to £7 million in 2016. A loss of £3 million is forecast for 2015 with a small profit of £0.2 million for 2016. The broker has a share price target of 24 pence. - See more at: http://www.investorschampion.com/aimzine/

Word up: AUPEO! is currently available on more than five million vehicles globally, covering 20 marques and 60 countries.


Aupeo, the personalised Internet radio service, is to start carrying spoken-word content from Audioboom (LON:BOOM).

The content will be available on Aupeo's in-car offering, AUPEO!, which is currently available on more than five million vehicles globally, covering 20 marques and 60 countries.

Audioboom will create, curate and seamlessly deliver UK, US, Australian and European news, sport, comedy and entertainment audio content directly into the AUPEO! platform.

The AIM-listed firm will generate revenue-sharing income based on the installed base, which includes the Audioboom "stations", as well as a 50% share of advertising revenue (net of channel fees) generated on clips listened to for more than 30 seconds.

In the short-term revenue expectations are likely to be modest, Audioboom said, but the board expects these to increase significantly as take-up and familiarity grows.

Content aggregated and provided by Audioboom will be available to AUPEO! users early in the second quarter of 2015.

Rob Proctor, chief executive officer of Audioboom, said Aupeo is one of the most innovative operators in the in-car entertainment sector, which will be a major focus of Audioboom over the coming year.

Audioboom (LON:BOOM) – Speculative Buy

On Friday, Audioboom announced a global agreement with Aupeo, a market leading supplier of in-vehicle platforms and personalised content for connected vehicles. Aupeo, owned by Panasonic, recently launched Personal Radio by AUPEO!, the in-car infotainment platform and service which allows consumers to listen to news, sports, traffic and weather with their favourite music in their own intuitive, personal and vehicle-friendly radio station. The service is currently available on more than five million vehicles globally, covering 20 automobile brands and 60 countries. We see the market growing substantially in the medium term. Audioboom will be a global provider and delivery platform of audio content to Aupeo and will create, curate and seamlessly deliver UK, US, Australian and European news, sport, comedy and entertainment audio content directly into the Personal Radio by AUPEO! in-car infotainment platform. Audioboom will generate revenue-sharing income based on the installed base which include the Audioboom stations as well as a 50% share of advertising revenue generated on clips listened to for over 30 seconds. In the short-term revenue expectations are likely to be modest but the Board expect these to increase significantly as take-up and familiarity grows. Content aggregated and provided by Audioboom will be available to AUPEO! users early in the second quarter of 2015.

Our view: The significance of this deal is that Panasonic has chosen Audioboom as its platform for delivery of the spoken word to its in-car radio service. This collaboration further enhances Audioboom’s reputation as a global brand, and seeks to position Audioboom as a leader in spoken-word audio content within the automotive market. A large percentage of radio audience is in-the-car and we believe the Audioboom/Aupeo agreement is not insignificant. As the CEO of Audioboom comments: “We’re absolutely delighted to work with Aupeo and to be one of their key collaborators world wide. We consider the company to be one of the most innovative in the automotive infotainment space, which is a major focus for us over the coming year as we continue to grow our global user base of listeners.” We continue with our view that Audioboom is not just the only social media company listed in the UK, but uniquely focused on the spoken word.

Update on key performance indicators

Update on key performance indicators



Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the leading spoken-word audio on-demand mobile platform, announced at the time of its recent annual results that it would provide regular updates on its key performance indicators (KPIs). The Board intends to provide quarterly updates with reference to its quarter ends (being February, May, August and November). However, ahead of its AGM to be held this week and in light of the recent launch of the new Android mobile app, the exclusive Russell Brand podcasts and the marketing campaign, the Board wishes to provide KPIs in respect of March.



Content partners - over 2,400 active content partners by the end of March (up more than 150 during the month), with recent notable additions including BBC Radio 4's Six O'Clock News, the All Blacks (New Zealand Rugby), the ATP Tour (the worldwide men's tennis tour) and the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. Total content partners number approximately 4,000 whereas active content partners are those who have posted content in the previous week.



Registered users - over 3.6 million at the end of the month, with more than 200,000 new registered users signing up in March, a monthly record.



App downloads - 244,000 total mobile app installs during March (113,000 iOS and 131,000 Android), another monthly record. This figure is almost 50% of the total mobile app installs in all previous months taken together. The apps charted in the entertainment categories on the Apple App Store and on Google Play respectively.



Although not currently a KPI, it is worth noting that monthly active uniques (MAUs) - being the number of unique users who have accessed Audioboom content in the past month via the website, both apps and embeddable content players - measured 22.8 million in March.



In terms of monetisation, a significant number of companies have now signed up to advertising campaigns associated with Audioboom content, including McDonalds, Burger King, Holden Australia (a subsidiary of General Motors), Walmart and Progressive Insurance.



Audioboom CEO, Rob Proctor, commented: "The KPIs show the progress we have made in a short period of time, with March being comfortably our best month since launch. There has also been a multiple increase in "follows" on the app which is particularly exciting as it indicates user engagement and the developing relationship that users have with Audioboom. As well as the mobile growth, it is pleasing that traffic to the website in March increased almost 75 per cent over February."

App integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto



Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the leading spoken-word audio on-demand mobile platform, announces the global integration of its iOS and Android apps with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto respectively.



Using the Audioboom app, users can now listen to the very best spoken-word content, on demand, whilst in their car. Changes to Audioboom's iOS and Android apps allow them to be integrated into over thirty of the biggest car manufacturers in the world using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Manufacturers include Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot and Renault.



Users can simply open the Audioboom app on their phone and plug it in using the car's in-built USB port. The app will then seamlessly take over the vehicle's built-in display. Users can navigate through the app as usual, browsing through audio clips by category or what's trending using their car's touch control system on the dashboard or through their steering wheel controls.



This is another breakthrough into the commuter market for Audioboom, who recently announced a deal with in-car entertainment specialist Aupeo, a system which is currently available on more than five million vehicles globally.



Audioboom CEO, Rob Proctor, commented: "2015 was always going to be the year Audioboom targeted the car, as 80% of all audio listening comes from drivers. With our Aupeo partnership and now the integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Audioboom is at the forefront of reinventing the in-car audio experience."

Quarterly key performance indicators



Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the leading spoken-word audio on-demand mobile platform, announced at the time of its 2014 annual results in February that it would provide quarterly updates on its key performance indicators (KPIs).



The following KPIs cover the Company's second financial quarter from March to end-May:



Content partners- over 3,000 active content partners1 at the end of May. Approximately 650 new content partners were added during the quarter, with recent notable additions including the hit US podcast Undisclosed: The State Vs Adnan Syed, Baseball America, SNY.TV (New York Giants, New York Jets, New York Mets), ARU (Australian Rugby Union), Epsom racecourse, 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, BBC Hindi, MCM Comic Con and the Bob Harris Legend Series.



1Active content partners are those who have posted content during the period



Registered users- over 4 million at the end of May, with almost 600,000 new registered users signing up in the quarter (including c. 206,000 in May, a new monthly record).



App downloads- over 1,275,000 total mobile app installs during the quarter (approximately 60:40 Android to iOS), with more than 550,000 added in May alone, another monthly record.



Although not currently a reported KPI, the number of "listens" (that is, the number of times users consume Audioboom content through the website, the iOS and Android apps, and via the embeddable content players) will become an important metric in the coming months as it will ultimately drive advertising revenue. Total listens for the quarter exceeded 75 million, taking the total lifetime listens for Audioboom content past the 500 million mark.



Audioboom CEO, Rob Proctor, commented, "May was another record month, not just for our reported KPIs but also for other key metrics including monthly active users, listens and follows. Together with strong performance in March and April, the quarter was comfortably our best to date. With our current rate of growth we are on track to meet or exceed the full year expectations for all these performance measures."
