Appcast Acquires Bayard Advertising

Read Time2 Minute, 45 Second

QUICK TAKE: The programmatic job advertising leader will nearly double its employee count with this acquisition. The future seems to be a melding of technology and creative job advertising that will form a full service recruitment marketing agency/platform. Makes sense on paper. Merging the two cultures could be a challenge.


Lebanon, NH — Appcast, the global leader in programmatic recruitment advertising technology and services,  announced today its acquisition of recruitment marketing pioneer, Bayard Advertising. This strategic acquisition combines Appcast’s award-winning programmatic technology with  Bayard’s full-service recruitment marketing capabilities, significantly expanding Appcast’s  offerings to optimize companies’ entire recruitment marketing processes. 

The combined company will serve more than 2,000 customers with hiring needs across the U.S.  and 10 major international markets.  

“Bayard is the trusted recruitment marketing partner to some of the world’s best-known  brands. Bayard’s deep well of talent and comprehensive solution set will expand, accelerate,  and improve Appcast’s ability to solve complex recruitment marketing challenges for leading  employers around the globe. Clients will benefit from a data-driven, source-agnostic approach  that combines the best of both companies,” says Chris Forman, Founder & CEO of Appcast.
