Audion will expand its AI-driven audio advertising platform into the United States after securing $15 million in new funding.
The Series B investment will support the company’s international growth and further development of its proprietary Audion AI technology, which focuses on delivering outcome-based audio advertising campaigns for brands and agencies.
Founded in 2018 by Arthur Larrey and Kamel El Hadef, Audion has grown to serve more than 1,500 clients worldwide.
The company has built its position across Europe, with operations in France, the UK, Italy, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, following earlier funding rounds in 2019 and 2022.
Audion’s AI platform, launched in early 2026, is designed to automate and optimise digital audio campaigns at scale.
It enables audience targeting across multiple channels and formats, supports AI-generated creative, and continuously adjusts campaigns to improve results.
The company says the latest funding will help it respond to changes in the audio market, where audio, video and artificial intelligence technologies are increasingly integrated.
Arthur Larrey, co-founder and co-chief executive, will lead the company’s US operations as it establishes a commercial and operational presence in the market. Around ten new roles are expected to be created by the end of the year to support the expansion.
Arthur said: “This funding marks a turning point: the convergence of audio, video and AI is redefining the market and enabling audio as a genuine performance channel.”
Kamel El Hadef, co-founder and co-chief executive, will continue to oversee European operations as the business grows its international footprint.
Kamel said: “The US launch is a natural continuation of our development in Europe, where we already work with numerous advertisers and media agencies.”
Funding for the round comes from Elevation Capital Partners, Founders Future and Bpifrance.
