Podcast subscription platform Podimo has recently announced the appointment of Georgia Brown as its new chief content officer. With a background as a highly-respected TV executive, Brown will now be responsible for leading the content strategy for Podimo as it continues to expand its reach across various European and Latin American markets. In addition to overseeing the company’s subscription platform and newly launched studios division, Brown will also be spearheading Podimo’s expansion into English-language content.
One of the key developments following Brown’s appointment is the establishment of Podimo Studios, which aims to create new revenue streams for the platform’s roster of creators. This move will see Podimo acquisitions, including Podads, Tonny Media, and Dag en Nacht Media, being housed under the umbrella of Podimo Studios.
Georgia Brown brings a wealth of experience to her new role at Podimo, having previously served as head of Amazon Studios in Europe. During her tenure at Amazon, Brown played a key role in the delivery of popular Prime Video hits such as “Clarkson’s Farm” and “The Rig,” as well as franchises like “LOL: Last One Laughing” and “All or Nothing.” Prior to her time at Amazon, Brown held senior positions in content distribution at Fremantle, Shine Group, and BBC Worldwide, and also chaired the U.K. Skills Task Force.
In a statement regarding her new role, Brown expressed her excitement about joining Podimo at a pivotal moment in the creator economy’s growth. She emphasized the importance of empowering creators to become media entrepreneurs and build sustainable businesses through premium, IP-led storytelling. Brown’s appointment comes as Podimo’s outgoing chief content officer, Sachin Doshi, prepares to step down from his role in September and transition to a position on Podimo’s board.
Podimo’s Founder and CEO, Morten Strunge, highlighted the company’s commitment to strengthening relationships between creators and audiences, enabling creators to earn more and own their value. With Georgia Brown at the helm of content strategy, Podimo is poised to lead the way in premium storytelling and platform innovation. Strunge expressed gratitude to Sachin Doshi for laying strong foundations and looks forward to continued collaboration in his new capacity on the board.
