Senior content studio and podcast network Qcode announced the appointment of veteran Jacob Bronstein in the industry as executive vice president, head of content. This move is based on the strategic expansion of Qcode Eyes with a new format and type, and is based on the network’s unique entertainment IP. More than 100 million downloads were obtained on video and audio platforms.
In his new role, the former Apple and ByteDance executive will lead QCODE’s original content strategy, building on the company’s slate of acclaimed audio properties featuring A-List talent — including Matthew McConauhey, Kerry Washington, Demi Moore, Rami Malek, Toni Collette, Carey Mulligan, and Jon Hamm, among others — continuing QCODE’s expansion into new formats in the traditional audio and video spaces as well as their successful movie and TV record packaging IP.
Brownstein brings two decades of Qcode’s experience in the intersection of audio and digital media. He previously held leadership positions at Bytedance and Apple, where he launched the company’s first original audiobook program and led marketing for Apple Books, Apple News and Apple Podcasts.
He began his career with the publication of Titan Random House, co-producing Grammy-winning audiobooks with Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. As a producer and creative partner, Bronstein works on a wide range of prestigious audio projects, including the Royals of Malibu, who ranked No. 1 on Apple and Spotify Novels, I am Kobe, which won the Webby Award for Best Sports Podcast.
Since its inception in 2019, Qcode has released more than 40 original podcasts, each surpassing the Apple Podcast rankings and surpassing the Apple Podcast rankings in both the novel category and the top ten. Many Qcode series are already moving toward screens, including Prophecy Kerry Washington, which has been acquired by Amazon MGM Studios and ABC Signature, as well as a left-right game starring Tessa Thompson, which is developing into A. Amazon Studios TV series. For more information, visit www.qcodmedia.com.
