Brothers Dom and Elliot Chapman say they’re planning to create a “powerhouse of independent agencies” after hitting the acquisition trail.

The Co-Founders of B2B sales and marketing agency Social Chaps, have purchased Speak on Podcasts, the largest podcast booking agency in the United States.

The deal was done through their new venture, Chapman Capital.

The acquisition takes the Chapman Capital group past £1 million in revenue with 35 staff in more than five countries.

Three more acquisitions are in play and are expected to complete in the first half of next year.

Dom, 27, said recent events had been “somewhat surreal”.

He said: “We only came up with the plan in March so the wheels have got in motion in just nine months.

“We want eight to ten agencies in the next few years to create a powerhouse of independent agencies.”

Elliot, 29, added: “We’re absolutely delighted to get it over the line.

“It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions with no real time to celebrate but we’re very excited.”

Speak on Podcasts was founded in 2020 by Mark Colgan and Jakub Zajicek.

It has quickly become a favourite service among podcast hosts and guests, supporting guests to book onto a range of top-quality podcasts.

Since launching, Speak on Podcasts has secured more than 2,200 podcast interviews for speakers from brands such as Gong, Paddle, Treasure Data and more than 100 others.

Chapman Capital now owns Speak on Podcast, Social Chaps and Agency Finance.
