The company reported a 60% year-over-year increase in ad clicks for platform clients, showcasing strong engagement and demand. Gross margin declined to 83.1% in Q4 2024 from 87.3% the previous year, partly due to a new campaign with a platform client. Operating expenses increased to $21.5 million in Q4 2024, up from $20.6 million in the same period last year. The cost of revenue rose to $4.4 million, primarily due to higher media payments for agencies and brands. Net interest expense was approximately $103,000 in Q4 2024, compared to a net interest income of $8,000 last year, due to higher borrowing. The company anticipates a small decline in gross margin in 2025 due to increasing revenue from a platform client.

Have they contributed significantly in Q4, and what are the expectations for 2025? A: Yes, both clients showed growth in Q4.

(Richard Howe, CEO) Q: Are you attracting more brands, and how is business development progressing outside of these major clients? A: We signed 33 new brands in 2024, and we've professionalized our go-to-market strategy, which positions us well for scaling. There's a strong pipeline, and we're optimistic about continued growth. (Richard Howe, CEO) Q: How do you feel entering 2025 compared to 2024 in terms of confidence and visibility? A: I feel optimistic due to our technological advancements and the $100 million revenue mark, which helps overcome cost inertia. We are confident in our ability to grow and surpass previous ceilings. (Richard Howe, CEO) Q: Can you elaborate on the sales cycle for platform and agency/brand clients? A: For agencies and brands, the sales cycle is typically six to nine months, driven by relationship-building.

A: The self-serve platform has a margin north of 90%, as it leverages existing AI infrastructure with minimal additional costs.

Inuvo Launches Self-Serve IntentKey Platform: A Revolutionary Interface for AI-Powered Audience Modeling
The Only Privacy-First, Ethically Designed AI Built Specifically for Advertising with Real-Time, Cookie-Free Audiences Models LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inuvo, Inc. (NYSE American: INUV), a leading provider of intelligent advertising technology, today announced the launch of the IntentKey Platform, an advanced AI agent specifically designed for audience modeling using Inuvo's proprietary IntentKey AI. Designed to address the challenges of modern advertising—including signal loss, privacy regulations, and the growing need for real-time insights—the Platform empowers marketers to build, refine, and activate audience models instantly, paving the way for smarter, more effective campaigns. The IntentKey Platform opens significant market opportunities within the advertising technology sector, a market valued at over $200 billion and poised for growth as the obsolescence of cookies and consumer data significantly impacts media spending. This positions Inuvo to capture substantial market share with its unique AI technology and proven ability to deliver advertising performance that significantly surpasses incumbent behavioral targeting media solutions. The IntentKey Platform is a purpose-built AI designed to meet the needs of both independent marketers and large-scale enterprises. Key features include: Instant Audience Models: Define and refine audience targets in seconds. Real-Time Updates: Audience models that adapt to trends every five minutes. Flexible Activation: Audience models activated through your DSP of choice or managed as a service by Inuvo. Enhanced Audience Insights: Immediate access to AI-generated demographics including age, gender, income, marital status, education, sentiment, and geography. The Platform is available now for marketers and agencies with two use cases: Self-Service: As part of the launch, Inuvo has opened a self-serve capability that enables marketers and agencies to gain hands-on control to independently build and activate custom audience models directly through their preferred demand-side platform (DSP). Managed Service: For clients seeking expert campaign management, the Platform provides visibility into the audience models and insights driving success, with Inuvo's team delivering full-service optimization and tailored reporting. "Marketers are facing a daunting challenge: delivering better performance in a world where consumer privacy is paramount, cookies are disappearing, and costs are rising, all of which reduce return on ad spend. At the same time, the shift toward adaptive, AI-driven agents is replacing the traditional SaaS tools marketers have relied on for years. The IntentKey Platform addresses these issues head-on, offering real-time audience insights and dynamic models that evolve with today's fast-changing advertising landscape," said Amir Bahkshaie, Senior VP of Inuvo. The IntentKey Platform leverages ethically designed large-language-modeling to address signal loss without relying on cookies or personal identifiers. By analyzing content from the open web, it builds real-time audience models that continuously evolve, delivering actionable insights while maintaining privacy compliance. This innovation reinforces Inuvo's leadership in AI-powered advertising, offering unparalleled transparency, flexibility, and precision to help marketers create smarter, more effective campaigns.
