New Verticals Catapult Forever Network into ComScore Top 25 US Media Rankings

Basketball Forever

Fueled by its new verticals for football, baseball and hockey, Forever Network, one of the fastest-growing and most engaged independent sports content brands in the world, announced today that it is now ranked in the Top 25 of ComScore’s US Media outlet rankings. Debuting at No. 24, Forever Network is ranked among media giants like Warner Bros (#1), Walt Disney (#2) and Comcast (#4). The company also marked its entrance on the list as the eighth top sports media company accompanied by sports industry stalwarts like the NBA (No. 3), NFL (No. 7), Barstool Sports (No. 11) and the WWE (No. 15). “Getting ranked so high by ComScore legitimizes the work we have put in since establishing a North American presence at the beginning of this year,” said Alex Sumsky, CEO and co-founder of Forever Network. “We couldn’t be here without our devoted team and their commitment to user experience, ensuring we are people’s go-to source and have the best content for all things basketball, football, hockey and baseball. This also provides us with a significant benchmark for measuring our success as we continue to establish ourselves as a major player in the US media market.” Including its first vertical, Basketball Forever, Forever Network has earned 3.6 billion total impressions and 356 million engagements year-to-date across its network of sports social media channels. Football Forever has been the most popular new vertical, garnering 528 million impressions since its start in April. Dugout Forever has earned 198 million impressions since its launch in March and Hockey Forever has earned 282 million since its May launch. “The popularity we have achieved and growth we have experienced since the start of this year is just the tip of the iceberg,” said Basketball Forever Chief Strategy Officer Nick Kelland. “With plans for our new soccer vertical to debut in July, we estimate that our network of channels will capture more than eight billion impressions before the year ends.” Forever Network closed a $4 million raise earlier this year to expand in North America and develop new verticals. Along with the new verticals, another key point of the raise was the development of Forever Network’s proprietary free-to-play and real-money games, V.O.A.T., Hot Hands and Streaker, which are on track to launch later this year. ABOUT BASKETBALL FOREVER Basketball Forever was founded in 2015 with a mission to celebrate the game and embrace its ability to unite people from all over the world. The brand reaches millions globally as the best source of breaking news, commentary, rumors, and culture through a uniquely social-first approach, bringing the best content to the consumer and removing the barriers between the creative and the consumer.

Kevel launches Kai to boost performance optimization, relevance and revenue for retail media networks

Kevel

Kevel, the API-first ad serving company, is announcing its new branded AI feature set: Kai (Kevel Artificial Intelligence), a suite of AI and machine learning technologies that enable performance optimization and drives relevancy, profitability and revenue. Kai is available as part of the Retail Media Cloud TM, the ultimate SaaS platform for building retail media networks with ad serving that maximizes share of advertiser budgets. The new tools were developed and spearheaded by Kevel’s AI/ML research group, chaired by CTO Tim Ewald, Sr. Director of Research and W3C member Paul DeGrandis, Principal Data Scientist Richard Carter, PhD and Retail Media Cloud TM GM and Velocidi founder Paulo Cunha. The group has decades of combined experience in AI, which has led them to develop this powerhouse suite of AI features to power ad serving and audience segmentation for a premium retail media experience. With Kai, Kevel introduces two new features, Forecast and Custom Relevancy, alongside its existing AI Audience and DecisionAPI products. Kevel Forecast predicts inventory and campaign performance for existing and future campaigns using machine learning simulations to generate insights on both current and future ad flights. “Forecast is a first of its kind for retail media. Traditional forecasting tools look simply at historical data to predict future campaign performance, whereas Kevel Forecast uses machine learning algorithms to project future campaign performance when considering all contextual and user audience targeting and pacing parameters in conjunction with other running or future ads. This way, advertisers always know exactly what their future performance looks like and retailers can maximize their inventory yield,” Paulo Cunha, Retail Media Cloud GM at Kevel explains. Kevel’s Custom Relevancy allows for retailers to input their own AI/ML algorithms into Kevel Ad Server for custom targeting geared towards the individual performance of each network. Functioning as a unique ‘BYOM’ (bring your own model), Custom Relevancy helps retailers utilize their own advanced models to determine relevance as part of their ad stack in a safe and secure way. “Retailers know their customers better than anyone else, but struggle to influence their ad serving with the exceptional AI-driven optimization they use for promoting a customized user experience,” commented Tim Ewald, CTO at Kevel. “That all changes with Custom Relevancy, which allows customers to plug their own ML models into our ad decision process to dynamically adjust relevancy and improve ad serving a per-user basis." Kai encompasses not just new features like Forecast and Custom Relevancy, but existing features like ad decisioning and pacing. Kevel’s approach to pacing, delivery and decisioning leans into historical data, events, previous behavior, context of the experience, ads viewed, and relevancy scoring, plus trends and predictions to drive ad performance. “What excites me about KAI is that it's a set of features that showcases how machine learning can be used to deliver more value to our customers. We’ve developed these systems from original research using proprietary data sets, harnessing our many years of experience in ad serving,” stated Richard Carter, Principal Data Scientist. “We’ve been working closely with retail customers to prove where the most value sits and it’s in decisioning, relevancy and segmentation. KAI is just the start of many more innovative, unique features in our pipeline.” About Kevel Kevel powers world-class retail media networks with the Retail Media Cloud™. With the combination of Kevel Ad Server and Kevel Audience, multi-brand retailers, marketplaces, and ecommerce companies can launch limitless ad formats and unique targeting segments online and in-store, all with closed-loop attribution. Kevel believes that every digital retailer should have the capability to scale their own distinct ad platform, just like big tech players like Amazon. Customers like Edmunds, Delivery Hero, Leroy Merlin, Slickdeals, and other leading retailers and marketplaces all launched their own retail media network with Kevel. The company has garnered numerous accolades, most recently earning recognition as one of the leading 100 innovative tech start-ups driving the future of brand-to-consumer in 2023 and awarded the MarTech Breakthrough Award for best overall ad tech company in 2022.
