广告科技公司Audion完成1500万美元融资,以支持其在美国市场的扩张。
French adtech startup Audion has secured $15 million in Series A funding to fuel its expansion into the United States, the world’s largest digital audio advertising market. The round was led by XAnge, with participation from existing backers Newfund, Kima Ventures, and business angels including former Deezer executives, bringing the company’s total funding to approximately $20 million since its 2019 founding.
Audion, headquartered in Paris, operates a programmatic platform that enables advertisers to buy, serve, and optimize audio ads across streaming services, podcasts, digital radio, and connected devices. The technology leverages real-time bidding, contextual targeting, and dynamic creative optimization, claiming to improve campaign performance by up to 30% compared to standard audio ad delivery. The startup has already built a presence in Europe, working with brands like McDonald’s and Renault, and says its revenue doubled year-over-year in 2023, with over 2 billion ad impressions served monthly.
The fresh capital will primarily fund a New York office and the hiring of a 20-person US commercial and engineering team, with a goal of capturing a significant share of the $7 billion US digital audio ad market, which is projected to grow by 15% annually. CEO Arthur Millet, who co-founded Audion after stints at Deezer and Targetspot, stated: “The US is where the audio revolution is most advanced. We’ve proven our model in Europe, and now we’re bringing a more data-driven, flexible approach to American advertisers and publishers.” Investor Cyril Bertrand of XAnge added that Audion’s “tech-first culture and early traction make it a strong challenger in a space dominated by a few large players.”
The move comes as platforms like Spotify, iHeartMedia, and Amazon Music increasingly open their inventory to programmatic buying, and as brands seek alternatives to cookie-based visual advertising. Audion plans to differentiate itself through advanced audience targeting that respects privacy regulations, tapping into the growing inventory of podcast and connected audio ads. By establishing a direct US footprent, the company aims to double its global revenue within 18 months.
