Tap into the exciting growth of audiobooks with xigxag

Audiobooks โ€“ a market topping ยฃ1Bn in the UK in 2023 โ€“ have been the fastest growing segment of the books market for over a decade, driving 30+% growth annually.ย  At xigxag, we want to help our partners access this dynamic market and make listening mainstream.

We offer our partners a range of potential ways to collaborate โ€“ whether thatโ€™s providing our tech for you to sell audiobooks directly to your customers online, or offering an exciting new category of physical audiobook cards to sell in your stores.ย  Weโ€™d love to discuss how we can support your brands.

What we offer

Multichannel Solutions built on award winning tech

We know how to build exceptional technology solutions that delight our customers and partners. Our mobile app is one of the top rated audiobook apps on both app stores. Our content management platform is the most technologically sophisticated in our industry, with over 95% of content publishing automatically โ€“ without any human intervention. And, our publisher partners love our secure pre-release audiobook distribution platform, First Listen, perfect for sending gratis copies, competitions, reviews and other promotions.

Eye-Catching Display: In-Store, Online, In-Box

We continue to innovate our retail offering. Weโ€™re currently testing innovative audiobook cards: bestselling titles from leading publishers, sold via individually printed cards with secure QR codes inside โ€“ 100x more space efficient than physical book displays and yet just as compelling, with the covers, the authors (and us!) doing all the hard work.

Curate a bespoke offer from over 100k titles

We offer access to over 100k titles with a catalogue focused on UK listeners. Our extensive catalogue covers a wide range of genres for adults as well as an amazing selection of childrenโ€™s audiobooks organised by age from a wide range of publishers, including HarperCollins, Pan MacMillan, Bonnier, Penguin Random House, Faber and our favourite leading indies.

Experienced, Trusted Partner to Leading Brands

Weโ€™re a super-experienced team of consumer, media and publishing tech leaders with a track record of building innovative, best-in-class apps and technology solutions. Weโ€™re a purpose-driven brand and B Corp-certified company, committed to using business as a force for good and ensuring the success of our partners. Weโ€™re an easy to work with, responsive and effective collaboration partner with experience building successful brand partnerships with leading British brands.
