NOVA Entertainment has announced an exclusive Australian partnership with FlightStory, home to The Diary of a CEO podcast brand.

All podcasts and presenters within the FlightStory portfolio are now accessible to Australian advertisers through NOVA.

The Diary of a CEO is an interview podcast with 25 million followers and over 11 million YouTube subscribers, achieving more than billion streams and 60 million monthly listens globally.

It is the flagship podcast of FlightStory, the media and investment company dedicated to elevating stories, building communities and supporting creators that inspire a happier, healthier humanity.

Founded and hosted by Steven Bartlett, an entrepreneur, speaker and best-selling author, The Diary of a CEO has a raw, long-form format, featuring unfiltered conversations with some of the world’s most influential people including Michelle Obama, Simon Cowell, Trevor Noah and Jimmy Fallon.

In addition to The Diary of a CEO, FlightStory brings together a selection of podcast titles and creators identified via their proprietary data science platform FlightRadar, including broadcaster Davina McCall, relationship expert Paul C. Brunson and human performance scientist Dr. Kristen Holmes.

Bartlett said “We’ve chosen NOVA Entertainment as our exclusive representation in the Australian market because we feel deeply aligned. And I say that in many respects. We share a commitment to independent ownership, creative innovation, a collaborative mindset, and the belief that this partnership will make one plus one equal three.”

“This partnership creates an unparalleled opportunity for brands to deliver positive influence at scale – unlike anything that currently exists in the Australian market. So, let’s open the conversation.”

NOVA Entertainment’s Chief Executive Officer Peter Charlton said “This is a huge win for NOVA. Steven and the entire FlightStory team are truly world class, as is the content they create. I’m incredibly proud they’ve chosen us to help grow their presence in Australia and firmly believe they’re in the right hands.”

Christiana Brenton, Chief Revenue Officer at FlightStory said “NOVA’s pitch stood out in every way, anchored in creative bravery, a commitment to innovation, and a deep empathy for the advertiser experience.”

Kate Murphy, NOVA Entertainment’s National Commercial Strategy Director, CREATE, said “Our partnership with FlightStory exemplifies the very best of what NOVA are capable of unlocking for advertisers. Steven is undoubtedly one of the most discerning brand builders in the world. For that to be the calibre of partner we can attract is testament to the level of talent, creativity and ambition in our business. I’m very proud that we will be the ones to bring this incredible commercial opportunity to the Australian marketplace.”
