We are super pumped to be building on the momentum of our global media partnership strategy by joining forces with two of America's leading media companies - iHeart and TelevisaUnivision - to scale Airtasker in the USA! Our partnership with TelevisaUnivision provides unmatched access to the US Hispanic market - which represents a huge proportion of the largest US cities - including 48% of Los Angeles - via a powerful combination of television, streaming, and digital assets that reach over 100 million daily users. Together with TelevisaUnivision, our partnership with iHeart delivers access to over 276 million Americans (that's 9 out of 10 Americans!) via broadcast radio, digital audio streaming, and by far the biggest podcast network in the US! We believe Airtasker's mission - to empower people to realize the full value of their skills - is incredibly relevant in the US market and with a population 15x the market size of Australia, the opportunity ahead of us is absolutely enormous. We can't wait to get moving!
