He emphasised that the next five years will be defined by deepening digital engagement and building more meaningful relationships with audiences. “The focus must be on deepening audience digital engagement. The future is about relationships, personalised experiences, knowing audiences better and serving them better. We need to really drive audience engagement across our whole portfolio.”

He said; “Audio is famous for building brands. Any well known brand has consistently invested in brand story telling and audience connection. Our most successful brand partnerships are ones we’ve been working with for years. The key is trust and creating something meaningful for people that will matter in five years.”

As the conversation turned to AI, Simon described it as a means to “boost human creativity and deepen human connections” and “AI should help brilliant people do more brilliant work, freeing up time for creativity, not replacing it.” He added;“The challenge is how do you get brilliant people to do more brilliant work. The question needs to be how you can free up time and dogreat work. We are using AI to boost human creativity, deepen humanconnectionsand create better products.”

When asked how the media industry should retain talent and help them thrive, Simon said leaders mustensure that AI is given to everybody. Start valuing people for how they think. Tasks can be automated but creative thinking can’t. Rewarding people when they’re being creative and trying to grow is how we retain talent.”
