Yates said: “I am delighted to be joining a fast-paced digital company and contributing to Mamamia’s continued growth. I’m looking forward to working with partners and connecting their brands to a highly engaged female audience.”
Tony Prentice said: “Holly’s leadership and client service experience are a great asset to further the momentum and growth ambition at Mamamia. To have someone of Holly’s calibre join us is a testament to Mamamia’s unique audience engagement, and all the commercial opportunities in front of us across content formats, genres, LIVE events, online courses and of course, podcasts.”
Mamamia has managed to grow its monthly podcast audience by 67% year-on-year (Source: Omny, June 2019 vs June 2018).
Part of this success is Mamamia’s new daily morning podcast, The Quicky, which has just surpassed 2 million listens, and weekly podcast True Crime Conversations which has over 150,000 listens after just three episodes. Next to launch in late July will be daily afternoon entertainment show, The Spill, sponsored by brand partners Nescafe for its first month.
