The Danish podcasting and audiobook subscription service Podimo has acquired the German production company arc.studio. The acquisition is part of the company’s strategy to scale content development and monetisation across subscription and advertising.
Arc.studio works with the development and production of podcasts as well as the distribution and marketing of podcast formats. Formed in 2024, the company also has extensive expertise in creator-led and video-first formats in their German-speaking markets.

The audio service is available in seven countries and has more than 350 employees. In addition, Podimo has more than 1.2 million subscribers and publishes over 700 episodes per month.
With the acquisition, Podimo wants to expand its international content business. The media already includes Tonny Media and Dag en Nacht in the Netherlands and Podads in Denmark.
