audioadpro celebrates two award shortlists for the Prolific North Tech Awards 2026, with the company recognised in the Tech Start-Up of the Year (5+ employees) category and Isabelle Lewis named a finalist for the Tech Rising Star Award.
The double shortlisting comes at a time of strong momentum; the same week ADSTEM, audioadpro’s proprietary audience intelligence and planning technology, was launched. The Tech Start-Up of the Year nomination acknowledges audioadpro’s growth in the adtech space, and its ongoing work harnessing the most precise geo-mapping tools and enriched audience data available for digital audio advertising campaigns.
Alongside the company’s shortlist, Isabelle Lewis (Digital Audio Campaign Planner), who joined audioadpro in 2025, has been named a finalist for the Prolific North Tech Rising Star Award. Issy has made a significant impact across the team, establishing herself as a trusted specialist through her technical ability, ambition and commitment to delivering high-performance activations for agency partners and advertisers.
Reflecting on Issy’s recognition, audioadpro co-founder Michael Dobson said: “Issy is exceptional. She combines intelligence, initiative and an incredible work ethic with a genuine desire to learn. The journey so far has been impressive, and the impact she has made on our business already is remarkable – a true rising star.”
