HARK Collective has released seats for its inaugural event, HARK Live, confirming that the launch will take place at voco Manchester on 29th April 2026.
Spearheaded by audioadpro, HARK Live will bring together agencies, businesses and brands from across the digital audio advertising ecosystem for a day of insight, discussion and networking, marking the official launch of the collective. Alongside the venue announcement, HARK has confirmed further additions to its speaker line-up, including BAFTA award winner Paul Coleman, Co-founder of Humanise.
With the theme ‘Know Your Audience’ underpinning the day’s agenda, HARK Live will explore how advertisers can better understand, engage and influence listeners across digital audio. Sessions will discuss strategic planning before production, creative best practice tailored to each channel, and the realities of audience behaviour in today’s fragmented media landscape.
HARK Collective has been established to unite professionals across the digital audio advertising industry, spanning music and radio streaming, podcasts, mobile in-game, audiobooks and more. The collective’s mission is to advance the scale, effectiveness and creativity of digital audio advertising through collaboration, shared learning and a unified industry voice.
“HARK was created to give digital audio advertising a dedicated space to grow,” said Roger Cutsforth, Co-Founder of audioadpro. “By bringing the community together in Manchester, we’re creating a space where the industry can share ideas, challenge thinking and best practice in digital audio advertising.”
