"The team at PodcastOne understands LADYGANG exponentially and continues to bring us exciting partnerships with the brands that we love. Our relationship isn't just about impressions, downloads and contracts - it is about their dedicated team of producers and salespeople working hand in hand with us on every single episode so that we can overdeliver on our promises to our brand partners, while remaining authentic, honest and vulnerable with our listeners. We had incredibly successful and lucrative specialty projects with brands like European Wax Center, Obe Fitness and Hyundai - and all three were so happy with the outcome that they are all hanging with the gang again in 2022. Our listeners are happy. Our brands are happy. We are happy and so excited for the future," said Knight, Tobin and Vanek.
