The Infinite Agency was founded by Jonathan Ogle, who will remain President of The Infinite Agency, and Australian audio producer Jeff Thomas will continue to lead Phantom Producer as President.

Gemini XIII is based in New York, with offices in Dallas and Sydney, Australia.

Brown said, “We are pleased to announce the launch of Gemini XIII with the acquisition of two of audio and advertising’s most innovative companies, The Infinite Agency, and Phantom Producer. These great companies are a formidable launching pad for what we expect to be Gemini XIII’s growing portfolio of audio’s most exciting brands.” He added, “We welcome the talented professionals at these organizations to the Gemini XIII family and look forward to serving our partners and customers with the very best in content and services.”

Steinhauer commented, “These two companies represent a solid foundation of talented people from which Gemini XIII will continue to build. We are committed to bringing new resources and capabilities to audio and to offer new and creative ways to tell stories in audio. We are actively exploring opportunities to complement these organizations to once again build and grow a new breed of audio company.”
