Wavve<\/a> is an engagement platform built with Ionic that allows listeners of audio content to post short voice clips back to shows and talk with other listeners as a community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWavve is a powerful, easy-to-use platform helping broadcasters to engage listeners, improve content marketing, reach wider audiences, and sell more sponsorships,\u201d says Wavve cofounder and CTO Nick Fogle, who was a lawyer until his passion for tech drove him to switch from legal code to computer code. \u201cImagine a cross between Twitter and a verbal message board packed with marketing tools, which is perfect for radio shows and podcasts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wavve team launched their iOS<\/a> and Android<\/a> mobile apps this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur early partners in the radio industry are giving us great feedback,” says Fogle. “They haven\u2019t seen much innovation in recent years, and their listeners love the community interaction.\u201d

How Wavve works<\/h3>\n

To use Wavve, content creators set up a channel. Audience members can subscribe to the channel and post short audio clips to talk with one another. When a user creates a new audio post, called a \u201cdrop\u201d, it creates a thread on which other listeners can comment, via audio or text. Audio posted to Wavve can easily be shared to social networks like Twitter and Facebook.<\/p>\n

\u201cWavve is used by iHeartRadio, ESPN Radio, and Fox Sports Radio affiliates, as well as podcasters, YouTube influencers, and other online communities,\u201d says Fogle. \u201cWavve helps content creators engage audiences, increase social marketing, and promote digital audio content. Wavve not only creates a unique way for broadcasters to engage audiences, but it also creates new digital and on-air ad opportunities for sponsorship sales.\u201d<\/p>\n
