SAN ANTONIO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AiAdvertising, Inc. (OTC: AIAD), an industry leader in AI-powered digital advertising solutions, has reported its financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Third Quarter Highlights and Beyond
Announced a six-figure targeting campaign for De-dollarize News, a digital news and media platform, a property of GSI Exchange, a leading national coin and precious metals company specializing in wholesale trading, the establishment of a gold IRA or silver IRA for individual buyers, as well as direct sales to the general public.
Operationally we continued to focus on improving efficiencies across the organization, including efforts to reduce costs across all expense categories, while managing more clients and increased revenue. To help lead these efforts, we appointed Douglas Beck as our new CFO.

Looking ahead, we believe we are positioned for growth as we deliver value to new and existing customers. Strengthened by our new CFO, we are moving to the next phase as a company and executing on the company’s strategic and financial priorities, including a national exchange uplisting. We continue to expect FY 2024 revenue to be in the $9 to $10 million range, driven by high customer retention, increased digital marketing and new customers.
Nine Months September 30, 2024 Financial Results
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $6.6 million as compared to compared $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
