The Signal Awards, which celebrates excellence in podcasting across multiple industry-vetted categories, appoints 13-year industry veteran and former On Air Fest co-creator Jemma Rose Brown as its new General Manager. In her role, Browna will lead all strategic business efforts for the awards program and carry out its core missions to honor excellence in podcasting and enable discovery within the industry.

The 3rd annual Signal Awards winners will be announced on October 15, and the awards ceremony will occur shortly after. The Signal Awards received over 2000 entries last year and more than 130,000 podcast fans voting for the Signal Listener's Choice award.

Brown was tapped from creative agency work x work, where she'd previously served as the longtime Director of both the agency's strategic operations and On Air Fest, the premiere creative festival for podcasters. While at On Air Fest, she steered programming and partnerships for nine consecutive festivals in New York and Los Angeles.

"Podcasting is a wildly creative and influential medium that continues to shape our cultural landscape," said Brown. "I'm thrilled to step into this role at Signal to help recognize the most innovative work being made today, and expand the impact of the Signal Awards in our industry.

Submissions are now open for the inaugural Signal Awards and the Final Entry Deadline is June 28, 2024. Enter at signalaward.com.
