Management Commentary
“The nine months of 2023 delivered ongoing revenue growth and bottom line improvement, highlighted by a 26% increase in revenue from 2022 and 35% decrease in net loss,” said Jerry Hug, Chairman and CEO of AiAdvertising. “The third quarter also saw a 13% growth in revenue, driven by strong client activity in Digital Marketing.
“During the quarter we continued to focus on further development of our Campaign Performance Platform, applying AI and ML technologies to marketing and advertising solutions. Our AI-powered AdTech software and optimization services allow advertisers to eliminate guesswork, predict creative, and prove performance. A recent white paper we published in partnership with the Marketing Artificial Intelligence Institute outlined how brands and advertisers can leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize ad campaigns, save budget, and boost results. We continue to see interest from direct-to-consumer brands that are looking to deploy large budgets at scale without having to add headcount. We are also evaluating feedback from prospective customers on how to better serve them with customized solutions at a budget that best suits their needs with the most advanced targeting solution in the market using AI, data science, and behavioral science.
“Looking ahead, we believe AiAdvertising can continue to scale our platform as the industry shifts toward solutions leveraging AI. AI-driven advertising eliminates guesswork, enables hyper-personalization at scale, and equips teams to maximize return on ad spend. We are highly focused on delivering superior results to our clients and executing on our revenue backlog. We expect to provide updates on new business initiatives and new business traction in the near future as we continue to build shareholder value,” concluded Hug.
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and 2022 was $2.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, an increase of 13%.

Digital Marketing revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, increased 16% to $1.5 million.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022 was $5.9 million and $4.7 million, respectively, an increase of 26%.

John C.
