Global Media Partnership Strategy

These new media partnerships demonstrate a consistent approach to a global growth strategy which enables Airtasker to leverage its scalable software platform and utilise cash generated by its Australian operations to expand into new markets, turbocharged by local media partnerships.

Importantly, the investment structure in which Airtasker repurchases all media partner equity in Airtasker UK and Airtasker USA, based on a multiple of revenue generated in each local entity, enables massive upside whilst mitigating downside risk - and at the same time represents a highly compelling investment proposition for media partners.

Commenting on the announcement, Airtasker Founder and CEO Tim Fung said:

“Today I am super pumped to say that we’ve now completed over $51 million in media partnerships in 2024 alongside leading partners including Sinclair Broadcast Group and Mercurius Media Capital in the US as well as a follow-on investment from Channel 4 in the UK.

We’re seeing rapid growth in the UK where revenue is up over 100% year-on-year in 1Q25 since we launched our first media partnership with Channel 4 and these new partnerships - in addition to our alliances with market leading brands such as oOh!media, ARN Media, TelevisaUnivision and iHeartMedia - will let us really step on the gas pedal and take Airtasker’s mission - to empower people to realise the full value of their skills - across the world!”
