"Gamelancer Media has experienced tremendous growth both in terms of expanding subscribers on our network and increased recurring revenues from our brand partners. We have consistently demonstrated the value of advertising to our network of over 38 million subscribers, most of whom are 12-to-40-year-olds, which brands are clamouring to reach. Over the past year, we've run successful campaigns with brands whose products range from consumer electronics to Schedule I banks, to the largest sports broadcast network in the United States. Gamelancer continues to bolster its reputation as one of the most engaging social media communities with a unique ability to offer creative services through its production business. We are poised to grow our direct media revenues in 2023 and to expand paid partnerships into categories such as fashion, apparel, quick-serve restaurants, financial services, and beyond." says Mike Cotton, President of Gamelancer Media Corp.

"We are forecasting triple digit revenue growth year over year (YoY) from FY2022 to FY2023, with anticipated revenues of $8.6M. 63% of our revenues will be generated through our Direct Media business on TikTok, and 37% driven from our Snapchat OTT business.

Q4 2022 Summary & Key Highlights

Gamelancer deepened engagement with brand partners and its community of followers:

  • Produced Samsung Canada's largest digital campaign of the year, the Samsung Connectivity campaign
  • Gamelancer wins Samsung US business
  • Promoted NFL Monday Night Football driving Gamelancer followers to tune into broadcasts on ESPN+
  • Produced campaign to promote financial literacy to Gen Z demographic (individuals aged 12 to 26) for Schedule I Financial Institution
  • Multi-year engagement with Thorn, Ashton Kutcher's foundation, to build creative and distribution to promote online child safety

A significant portion of 2022 revenue growth was attributable to the Company's brand partners adding additional contracts and repeat business due to better-than-expected campaign results. Several Gamelancer partners renewed campaigns and upgraded to an ‘always on' category to establish a more comprehensive relationship with Gamelancer Media.

The success of these campaigns is further supported by the finalization of Gamelancer Media's Strategic Partnerships with TikTok North America and Snap Inc. Gamelancer became just the second Canadian partner to enter a Joint Business Venture with TikTok North America and Gamelancer's enhanced engagement with Snapchat included the addition of several new shows on Snapchat Discover.

Gamelancer Media's competitive advantage lies in its unique business model. The full-service media company offers brands, agencies, and creators the opportunity to collaborate on bespoke content and/or User Generated Content (UGC). Gamelancer's UGC model focuses on smaller creators, giving a much more authentic feel to brand messaging and delivering superior results to its partners. This model also helps smaller creators grow their online presence and better establish their careers as influencers.

In addition to content creation, Gamelancer offers distribution packages with exclusive access to the Company's 44 owned-and-operated channels on its social media network. Spanning TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram, Gamelancer customizes campaigns to optimize results for each brand's unique campaign needs.

Brands, agencies, and creators who take advantage of Gamelancer's unique production + distribution option experience such profound engagement and conversion results, that many choose to engage the Company in repeat business, often increasing budgets with each subsequent campaign. This repeat business is responsible for a large proportion of the Company's current revenue and projected guidance in its financial forecast.
