Ahead of our first major social media and OOH advertising campaign (in collaboration with Spotify), Head of Content - Tom Whiter, spoke to Marketing Week about building a new brand identity for Goalhanger.

This is how you can be part of the conversation and tap into the audiences we've got." This year, our 13 key shows have amassed over 400 million audio downloads and more than 85 million YouTube views—an incredible achievement as we continue to build and enhance our brand presence.
