About this transaction

Spoken word platform Audioboom has agreed to buy Sonr, a neuro-linguistic programming and artificial intelligence development company, in a £1.42m all-shares deal, but is awaiting approval from some of the vendors.

Sonr develops algorithms which will allow Audioboom to accelerate the introduction of intelligent data management platforms that will better inform programmatic ad-serving solutions and audio recommendation engines over the next 12 months.
