鈥淗aving commissioned a great production, 鈥淢ake or Break鈥� from Radio Wolfgang, we already knew the quality of their work was stunning.

Colm Roche, co-founder and director of Radio Wolfgang notes, 鈥淚t has been an absolute pleasure getting to know and working with Auddy. Andrew鈥檚 team is world-class, and we see incredible opportunity in blending our expertise with theirs. It feels like a natural fit. I鈥檓 incredibly proud of what our award-winning team has achieved and having grown an average of 100% each year since 2016, we wanted to be part of an operation that could sustain and build on our record.
Colm and his team will join the Auddy roster, and the Radio Wolfgang identity and brand will continue.
In July 2021, Auddy launched a crowdfunding campaign, and the company is currently overfunding, surpassing its initial goal within 36 hours. UK investors may benefit from EIS relief.
