Audio and radio broadcaster reaching 200M+ listeners across stations, podcasts, and streaming
Audacy operates a large-scale broadcast and audio distribution network spanning 220+ radio stations, podcasts, and digital platforms. The tech stack reflects a hybrid infrastructure—Adobe Creative Suite and Pro Tools for content production, AWS and GCP for distribution, and a sales-and-marketing-heavy hiring posture (170 combined roles across sales and marketing out of 312 active openings). Current projects signal infrastructure modernization (GitLab pipeline automation, Terraform/GCP deployments) alongside pain points in advertiser data management and cross-platform campaign performance tracking, indicating challenges in consolidating revenue operations across legacy broadcast and emerging digital channels.
