I was excited to be working with many great broadcasting companies such as Absolute Radio, RTE and the BBC.<\/p>\n<p>My role has morphed in to a Digital Producer, managing apps and clients on a daily basis, and ensuring the company was delivering quality products to the radio broadcasting industry.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had the privilege of working with big industry names such as <a href=\"http:\/\/radioplayer.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Radioplayer<\/a> (and their territories around the world), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bauermedia.co.uk\/brands-radio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bauer Media<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/radiodayseurope.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Radiodays Europe<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.communicorpmedia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Communicorp<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lesindesradios.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Les Indes Radios<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wirelessgroup.co.uk\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wireless Group<\/a> to name some.<\/p>\n<p>Chris &amp; Jason have allowed me to grow the role and learn so much about project management, client relationships and mobile technology since joining their team, and I am very grateful for that.<\/p>\n<p>AIM joining the DTS and Xperi family of brands was a major change as well; supporting new corporate responsibilities and being able to grow our reach in to the US and other European markets. With the acquisition came learning about new products like HD Radio &amp; the Connected Radio platform and how to talk about them at industry events. Working alongside Joe D&#8217;Angelo and Juan Galdamez has enlightened me to a world beyond where AIM had already reached.<\/p>\n<p>In recent months, the importance of my relationships with the app and service developers themselves has really come in to focus and I hope that I&#8217;ve been part of cultivating a good work environment which we have all enjoyed. Without the devs, there would be no apps on phones or audio through smart speaker platforms!<\/p>\n<p>I am really proud to have been part of AIM&#8217;s history and development. I wish them all the best for the future and thank them for their support during my time there.<\/p>\n<h2>What next?<\/h2>\n<p>After a holiday with my wife and her family in the USA, I&#8217;ll be starting my role as PR &amp; Media Officer at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tearfund.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tearfund<\/a> in July.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/oliverneedham.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/MVIMG_20190523_1152023.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2884\" height=\"2163\" data-wpid=\"26\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of being able to build up my media knowledge through events like <a href=\"http:\/\/ksmf.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KingsStock Music Festival<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/poacher.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Poacher International Jamboree<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/1soundfm.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ONE Sound FM<\/a>, and look forward to being able to use these skills to promote the charity and the faith that underpins the work they do.<\/p>\n<p>You can follow what I get up to there by following me on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/oliverneedham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a> or connecting on <a href=\"http:\/\/uk.linkedin.com\/in\/oliverneedham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Article photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@rossf?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ross Findon<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/search\/photos\/neon?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Unsplash<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I first joined All In Media on 15th July 2013, there was a team of four in the smallish London office, one in Sheffield, a couple in Malaysia and another couple in Sydney, Australia.
