The Swiss software solution Audiospace, a product of Brands Are Live AG, continues its international expansion. In the United States, the company won a major competitive pitch, securing a significant contract to develop 240 digital radio platforms. The decision underscores the growing importance of Swiss innovation in the global marketplace.
The newly awarded contract comes as part of a broader collaboration with the U.S. media company Connoisseur Media, led by renowned radio executive Jeff Warshaw. This year, Connoisseur expanded its portfolio by acquiring Alpha Media—with more than 200 stations across 40-plus U.S. markets—along with five leading San Francisco stations from the Bonneville Group.
“The culture of Connoisseur Media is about being local and about meeting our audiences where they are,“ said CEO Jeff Warshaw. “Today, that means having a first-class digital experience alongside fantastic local programming. Audiospace understands that and they understand radio. They’re not just building apps and websites, they are helping us connect with our listeners while also unlocking new revenue opportunities for our advertisers. We thrilled to be working with Audiospace, we expect this partnership to help take Connoisseur Media’s digital game to the next level.”
Jan Müller, CEO of Audiospace and Brands Are Live AG, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are very proud of this collaboration. Connoisseur is becoming one of the most successful radio companies in the United States. We recognize the responsibility and the important role our technology delivers. Mobile consumption has never been more central to audience engagement.”
The first websites and apps were successfully launched in early December, with additional releases scheduled in the coming weeks.
The new Connoisseur mandate marks a significant step forward in Audiospace’s ongoing growth. 2025 wrapped with the company launching 66 apps for Seven Mountains Media as a part of its’ overall growth. Combined with its existing partnerships, Audiospace now powers more than 400 platforms—apps and websites—for over 220 radio stations across the United States.
