Forever Audio

What Forever Audio does

Forever Audio is a London-headquartered, privately-held audio production agency operating since 2005 across three integrated service pillars: audio advertising and digital innovation, audio post production, and immersive entertainment content. The company's underlying technology stack centres on eight Central London studios — including Dolby Atmos-certified Studios 7 (cinema trailers and commercials) and 8 (HETV mixing) — running ProTools HDX systems with Source-Connect and Zoom for remote sessions, alongside a proprietary in-house music library spanning orchestral to electronic genres. It holds TPN Gold Shield certification for secure handling of pre-release content (an MPAA-audited standard covering ~300 security checks), SAG-AFTRA signatory status, and PRS for Music affiliation, enabling it to serve Hollywood studios, streaming platforms, and global brands.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining hourly studio hire (with surcharge and cancellation rules), project-based professional services (creative, sound design, music composition, ADR, voice over, localization and dubbing), and recurring royalty/licensing streams (sync and library music). Customer segments are organised vertically — Brands and Agencies, Film/TV/Streaming, Publishers/Content Creators, and Children's Entertainment — and the company maintains named enterprise relationships with Spotify (as Preferred Partner), Audible, Netflix, BBC, Disney, Marvel, Warner Bros., McDonald's, PepsiCo, Snickers, Cadbury, IKEA and others, alongside a US office supporting North American clients. Distribution is sales-led and direct, supplemented by the Spotify Preferred Partner channel for advertiser access.

Forever Audio is co-CEO led by founders Seb Juviler and Paul Golliker, has no disclosed institutional investors or parent entity, and has won multiple industry awards including Campaign's Best Audio Agency, Cinema Audio Society, Music & Sound, Promax UK, Vox Awards, and the Audio Advertising Awards 2024 Best Agency for Audio Advertisers. The company also runs an educational outreach programme (Futures) in partnership with The Rhythm Studio Foundation targeting the next generation of audio talent.

Emerging players

• Boom Library: Sound effects and sample library company used by film, TV, games and advertising post production teams. Partially overlaps with Forever Audio's library music and sound design offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Pinewood Studios: UK-based film and television studio complex offering production and post production services including sound. Operates at much larger scale across the full production value chain rather than specialising in audio like Forever Audio.
• Abbey Road Studios: Iconic London recording facility offering music recording, mixing, film scoring and immersive audio services. Broader incumbent with overlapping Dolby Atmos and post production capability but a wider portfolio across music and film.

Direct peers

• Sound Lounge: US-based audio post production and sound design studio serving advertising, film and TV. Comparable in service mix (post production, sound design, mixing) but primarily serves the US market.
• Formosa Group: London and Los Angeles audio post production company covering ADR, dubbing, sound design and Dolby Atmos for major film and streaming clients. Directly comparable in scope, certifications and client roster to Forever Audio.
• Lipsync Post: UK film and TV post production facility providing ADR, dubbing, sound editing and mixing. Directly competes for the same film, TV and streaming post production engagements that Forever Audio services.
• Antfood: Audio branding and sound design studio producing sonic logos, brand music and bespoke audio for global brands and agencies. Directly comparable on sonic branding and bespoke composition work.
• MassiveMusic: Global music and sound branding agency offering sonic branding, music supervision and bespoke composition. Comparable to Forever Audio's bespoke composition, library music and sync licensing services for global brands.
• String and Tins: London-based audio branding and sound design agency creating sonic identities, music and audio for brands and agencies. Closely comparable on the audio advertising and sonic branding side of Forever Audio's offering.
• Halo Post Production: UK-based audio post production house offering sound design, ADR, dubbing and Dolby Atmos mixing for film and TV. Closely comparable to Forever Audio across post production services and London studio footprint.
