Shauna Anderson and Elle Bowles.
ARN has appointed Shauna Anderson director of content for iHeart and Elle Bowles senior manager of iHeart LIVE, as the company builds out its digital entertainment platform across audio, video, social and live experiences.
Anderson brings more than 20 years' experience across television, digital publishing and content strategy.
Bowles has spent more than two decades across major music brands and live entertainment.
"These are two hugely important appointments for ARN and for the future of iHeart," said ARN chief content officer Kerri Elstub.
“We are building something much bigger than a streaming platform or podcast network. iHeart is a true entertainment super platform creating deeper connections with audiences at scale.”
Anderson will lead iHeart's content strategy including original podcasts, emerging talent development, branded content and video strategy. Bowles will oversee iHeart LIVE, delivering fan and brand experiences from intimate artist performances to cultural events.
"Creating content that genuinely connects with audiences has always been in my DNA. I am excited to be joining ARN at such a pivotal time for iHeart," Anderson said.
Bowles said creating once-in-a-lifetime moments for fans is something really special.
“I'm incredibly excited to push how we bring those experiences to life in new ways for both audiences and partners.”
iHeart reaches 7.8 million podcast listeners each month, delivers more than 25 million monthly downloads and has 5 million registered users in Australia. More than 20 iHeart LIVE events are planned across 2026.
