XLMedia is a global performance publisher. Operating globally across a variety of verticals including online gaming, personal finance and sports, the Group uses proprietary data and advanced targeting capabilities to build valuable connections with consumers through high-quality content - a value which can be passed onto XLMedia customers.
Group strategy is rooted in two fundamental corporate objectives to evolve the XLMedia business, speed transformational progress and drive global growth:
· A balanced portfolio of online assets
o Proactively managing the portfolio to ensure exposure to a diverse range of attractive territories and vertical markets, with different stages in their lifecycle/maturity. XLMedia seeks to achieve this through realigning the weighting of assets and moving towards more regulated markets (the US) and verticals (Sports), with more data-driven, conscious business model selection. In doing so, the Group seeks to promote sustainable revenue growth for the business and its customers, alongside data-driven intelligence to inform investment cases.
· Branded, content-rich, engaging websites
