Audio Network Ltd

With a catalogue of nearly 100,000 original music tracks from a team of over 600 composers, Audio Network offers a complete music solution by cutting through the traditionally complex and costly processes of licensing music. All high quality tracks are pre-cleared for multiple formats, for the world, forever through their website.

This approach allows producers to make content for international distribution and emerging platforms without the need to go through the complicated and expensive process of clearing individual tracks or re-versioning productions. The company supplies music to some major international media clients, including BBC, HBO, MSN, MTV Networks, National Geographic, Ogilvy, and Endemol.

Audio Network owns the rights to their extensive music catalogue which covers a full range of music styles from large scale orchestral to hip hop and from country to rock. This high quality music is created by its team of established international composers and recorded by major orchestras and artistes including The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Dame Evelyn Glennie OBE and the late Sir John Dankworth CBE.

The company has grown its composer team, music catalogue and revenue from its music services every year since its incorporation in 2001 at an average Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in excess of 40% per annum. Stripes Group, a leading New York-based technology and consumer-focused growth equity firm, acquired a 27% minority shareholding in Audio Network in July 2013.

Listed as one of the UK's fastest growing companies in the Sunday Times Tech Track 100; 2011, 2012 and 2013 and the Sunday Times Profit Track 100, 2013 and 2014, Audio Network has also received the Queen's Award for Enterprise for both Innovation (Technology), 2008 and International Trade, 2012.

The group currently have offices in London, Manchester, New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Sydney, Amsterdam and Munich with sub publishers in territories covering France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Singapore and Malaysia, South Africa and the Middle East.
