I just noticed an app on my phone called Audacy and I was "WTF is this"? Turns out radio.com is no longer. https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/e ... 234939320/ [b]After more than 50 years as Entercom Communications, the radio and podcasting company is unfurling a new banner: Effective immediately, it is changing its name to Audacy. With the rebranding, the company also has retired the Radio.com name for its direct-to-consumer platform, which has adopted the Audacy moniker. The company’s new website is audacyinc.com. “The name Entercom no longer fit. We’ve outgrown it,” David Field, chairman, president and CEO, said in an interview. At a high level, he said, the company needed “consistency across B2B [business-to-business] and B2C [business-to-consumer]” domains in its corporate identify. The new name is redolent of “audio” and “audacity,” and, of course, its homonym “odyssey.” Here’s how Field described it: “‘Audacy’ captures the dynamic creativity, outstanding content and innovative spirit that fuel our forward ambitions.” The company worked with WPP’s Landor & Fitch brand consulting and design division on the rebranding, which includes a pair of new audio logos (listen at this link).[/b] |

Radio.com is such a simple domain name that you'd think they'd build the whole company around that, like how Clear Channel became iHeartMedia. But then Entercom's problem has been that they're a mid-market company that thinks they're major-market. |

Confusing with Audyssey, which is a company that develops equalization software for electronic devices. |

And CreativeLabs used to have Audigy, which was their sound card application for making music through the computer. |

Generally not good for your audio-based company when you have to spell your name out in your spots. |

Some of the Audacy commentators also pronounce it OWdacy. I laugh every time I hear a new variation of the name. This has gotta be one of the worst re-branding launches in marketing history. |
