When you’re a cool, creative content maker, you don’t want to think too much about travel admin. You want quick and simple access to your travel itinerary and someone to contact if anything goes wrong.

Then you just need to focus on your trip objective and your equipment. But wait, that adds some complication. Do you have enough luggage space with the airline? If you add extra bags does it start to get too expensive? Do you have the right batteries?

We get it. Travelling when you’re in the creative or sports industry is extra. Audioboom is one of the many companies we’ve helped make it all easier.

Started working together in 2015, with 24/7 emergency assistance

Spoken-word pros

Chances are if you’ve listened to a podcast or radio, you’ve probably caught a bit of Audioboom’s content. They work with 4,000 podcasters, broadcasters and advertisers including the BBC, Associated Press, NDC and Yahoo!.

Prime example? The Totally Football Show podcast, which advertises products such as Gillette and Dollar Shave Club.

A booming industry

Audioboom has evolved from its start-up roots. With all that growth came an increase in travel and costs, particularly lugging all the recording equipment.

It’s often last minute travel too, which isn’t the cheapest and requires quick turnaround. The main routes? London to New York, Melbourne and Mumbai. Their CEO spends a lot of time in the USA too.

Our travel consultant is amazing and unflappable, even when we call her with many itinerary changes. I’m the one flapping; she isn’t. Changes always seem to happen late on a Friday afternoon and yet she will still help out

Travel, and baggage, that works

Audioboom found its travel match with our Stage & Screen team. Their expert knowledge meant they could tackle any challenge thrown their way at any time – as you can probably tell from Alexandra’s testimonial above!

Partnering with that specialist division also meant Audioboom could access entertainment airfares and discounts or free excess baggage. Which as you can imagine, was a huge relief for the Audioboom team.

Wait, there’s more. They got the 24/7 assistance help they needed too – here’s just one emergency tale of many.

A traveller learned of a family emergency having just landed in New York. He needed to return home immediately. Just 20 minutes after landing, Lauren in our out-of-hours team had booked him on the next flight. It was 3am in the UK.
