The Strategy and Creative Solutions team will be responsible for creating massive ideas based on deep consumer insights. Content Partnerships will be aligned with ARN’s major content brands, including KIIS, Kyle & Jackie O, Will & Woody, Gold, The Christian O’Connell Show, Jonesy and Amanda, and iHeart; the Client Experience team will serve as a single point of contact to implement ideas; and the Creative Studio will be responsible for developing all audio, video, and digital creative assets.
Chief Operating Officer of ARN Michael Stephenson said:
“Creativity is at the heart of advertising, and massive integrated ideas delivered across multiple platforms at scale make brands famous. Integrate by ARN will sit right at the heart of the ARN commercial structure and will be the glue that brings our unique assets together. This is going to be massive.”
