Kidoz Posts Over C$5 Million in Record Q3 Revenue as Demand for Safe, Scalable Mobile Advertising Rises

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:47 PM on Monday, December 8th, 2025

Kidoz Inc., a global advertising technology platform specializing in privacy-first mobile engagement, continued its momentum with another record-setting quarter. In a market shaped by heightened privacy regulation and rapid changes in digital media consumption, the company’s brand-safe, data-minimizing approach has positioned it well within the fast-growing mobile gaming advertising segment.

Over the last three years, the company has generated approximately C$57 million in revenue. With consecutive record quarters and increased demand from major brands, Kidoz is demonstrating consistent execution across its commercial and technology operations.

A Platform Aligned With a Changing Digital Environment

Kidoz operates one of the most widely deployed in-app advertising systems inside mobile gaming environments. Its proprietary technology powers tens of thousands of mobile applications and reaches substantial global audiences across entertainment, retail, and lifestyle categories.

Key elements of the platform include:

  • Full compliance with COPPA, GDPR-K, and global child-safety frameworks
    • Approval from major mobile operating system gatekeepers
    • A privacy-first architecture that avoids personal data collection
    • Customizable creative formats designed for in-app environments
    • End-to-end controls that support brand safety and contextual relevance

This focus on safety, compliance, and scalable delivery continues to be a differentiator as advertisers increase scrutiny around digital environments.

Record Q3 Results Reflect Broad-Based Demand

As discussed in the CEO interview, Kidoz reported approximately USD $3.66 million (about C$5.0 million) in Q3 revenue, representing 60% year-over-year growth. The company noted improvements across revenue, gross profit, and overall financial performance.

CEO Jason Williams highlighted that the momentum was diversified:

“The system was firing from multiple angles across key clients and formats. We delivered efficiency, premium targeting, and custom creative at scale, and we were prepared for what we expected to be a very strong Q4.”

The company also increased infrastructure investment during Q3 to ensure capacity for the high-demand holiday period.

Brand Safety as a Core Commercial Advantage

Digital advertisers continue to prioritize safe, verified environments—particularly when targeting younger audiences. Kidoz maintains a dual-layer safety system:

  • Human review of every ad environment
    • AI-driven contextual intelligence to validate placement

According to Williams, the platform was designed for the most sensitive audiences, offering advertisers both environmental safety and strict data-handling controls.

Operating Through Market Uncertainty

Despite tariff discussions and broader economic caution, Kidoz reported that major category-leading brands continued to increase allocations toward mobile gaming environments. Williams noted that many large advertisers sought greater share-of-voice during periods when smaller competitors reduced spending.

Q4 Expectations and Platform Capacity

Williams confirmed that Q4 remains the company’s strongest historical quarter and that the pipeline entering the period was among the largest the company has seen. He also stated:

  • The system can now support throughput levels several multiples higher than the current annualized revenue run-rate
    • Infrastructure upgrades strengthened stability during peak volumes
    • Early Q4 indicators at the time of the interview were described as highly encouraging

Strengthening Direct Brand Relationships

A key strategic shift underway is the deepening of direct relationships with major brands and agencies. These partnerships typically produce larger campaign budgets, improved visibility into advertiser needs, and stronger long-term engagement. Williams noted that several major clients have steadily increased their annual spend and that the company expects deeper collaboration with select partners.

AI and Market Shifts: A Supportive Trend

AI technologies have impacted open-web advertising, but the in-app mobile environment—where Kidoz operates—remains insulated from scraping and external model training. Williams suggested that advertisers re-evaluating open-web performance are increasingly directing budgets toward safe, high-engagement in-app formats.

Regulatory Developments and User Behaviour

Emerging legislation in certain regions aimed at limiting social media access for younger audiences may influence shifts in user behaviour—potentially increasing time spent in mobile games and entertainment apps. These are the environments in which Kidoz operates with established compliance and brand-safety frameworks.

2026 Priorities and Industry Positioning

Williams identified several trends that could support the company heading into 2026:

  • Growing advertiser demand for mobile gaming environments
    • Increased appetite for high-impact creative formats
    • Ongoing global growth in mobile gaming engagement

Kidoz’s focus for the coming year includes deepening brand relationships, advancing creative innovation, and continuing to scale its commercial platform.

Conclusion

Kidoz Inc. is entering its busiest seasonal period and upcoming fiscal year with:

  • Multiple consecutive record quarters
    • Market-validated privacy-first technology
    • Expanding direct brand and agency relationships
    • A platform engineered for significant scale

In a digital landscape shaped by privacy regulation, technological change, and shifting user behaviour, the company continues to build on a foundation aligned with long-term industry trends.

FOBI AI Positions Itself for a 2026 Relaunch After a Year of Deep Transformation

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:44 PM on Monday, December 8th, 2025

Fobi AI, a company long associated with real-time data intelligence and mobile-wallet innovation, is preparing to reintroduce itself after one of the most challenging—and productive—periods in its history. Despite operating under a cease-trade order (CTO) since November 2024, the company delivered just under $3 million in annual revenue, executed a $2.2 million divestiture of its German subsidiary, restructured its operations from top to bottom, and filed its updated financials in pursuit of a trading resumption.

In an in-depth interview, CEO Rob Anson described a year defined by operational discipline, personal resolve, and a strategic reset that positions Fobi AI for the next decade of enterprise AI and Web3 adoption. As the company prepares to relaunch, Anson’s message is clear: Fobi is no longer simply a data-intelligence or wallet-tech provider. It is building the infrastructure and advisory muscle that organizations will require as digital identity, automation, and real-time systems become foundational.

A Reset Fueled by Determination—and Data-Driven Strategy

Though many expected Fobi to struggle under a CTO, the company instead embarked on what Anson calls “a wholesale change”—one that demanded difficult decisions, aggressive restructuring, and a reliance on AI automation to streamline operating costs to roughly $1.2 million.

A significant catalyst came through Fobi’s participation in Comcast SportsTech, where enterprise clients consistently asked the same question: How do we integrate our disconnected digital systems into something unified and actionable?

Fobi discovered a widespread gap:

  • Enterprises lacked coherent mobile-wallet strategies.

  • Systems were fragmented across dozens of applications.

  • Organizations needed partners who could advise strategically and implement solutions end-to-end.

This realization led to the foundation of Fobi 3.0—a model designed to blend advisory services, a sandbox testing environment, measurable ROI, and deployment operations under one structure. As one audit firm told Anson during Fobi’s 2024 filings, the business would be “much tidier” if its diverse activities were recognized as what they had become: professional services built atop proprietary technology.

Strategic Shifts, Auditor Transition, and a Return to Compliance

One headline development was Fobi’s decision to transition its auditor from MNP LLP to Can Partners LLP, effective November 17, 2025. Anson was emphatic that the change reflected systemic issues in the audit ecosystem—not deficiencies in MNP’s work.

The numbers underpinning this decision were striking: Fobi spent $1.12 million in audit fees over two years, a figure Anson called “egregious” and incompatible with long-term sustainability.

The shift is part of a broader effort to streamline governance, reduce financial burden, and accelerate the regulatory path toward lifting the CTO. Updated financials have been filed, with additional submissions underway—steps required for the anticipated revocation order and the company’s return to trading.

A Year of Operational Reinvention: “One Hour at a Time”

Anson describes 2025 as a year of “courageous change,” marked by layoffs, leadership transitions, and a relentless push to stabilize operations. At several points, he admits, the challenges felt “insurmountable.”

Yet the leadership team adopted a simple philosophy:

“One hour at a time.”

That discipline allowed Fobi to:

  • Reduce burn by 82%.

  • Transition to a new corporate structure focused on AI-enabled delivery.

  • Deploy its internal LLM system, Udasha, to support client engagements.

  • Attract joint-venture opportunities tied to enterprise problem-solving.

  • Retain and strengthen a core team capable of delivering under pressure.

The cumulative effect, Anson says, is an “unrecognizable” company—leaner, more focused, and built for scale.

Preparing for 2026: A Reintroduction, Not a Return

Several themes emerged as Anson discussed 2026:

1. A New Identity

Fobi AI is repositioning itself not as a niche tool provider but as a full-stack transformation partner—“the Deloitte or Accenture of the AI/Web3 era” according to CEO Rob Anson.
This means delivering:

  • High-level AI and data advisory

  • System architecture and integration

  • Wallet-based digital identity solutions

  • Real-time data platforms

  • End-to-end execution and managed services

2. A Scalable Operating Backbone

The company’s lean structure—including significant automation—enables sustainable execution without the overhead of legacy consultancies.

3. A Renewed Commitment to Transparency

With trading resumption efforts advancing, Anson pledged more structured engagement through centralized channels, including AGORACOM, to ensure consistent public communication.

4. A Team and CEO Who Refused to Quit

A recurring theme in the interview was resilience.

While some CEOs in similar situations might choose bankruptcy, privatization, or a complete reset under a new entity, Anson emphasized that he stayed for one reason:

“I’m here for the people who reached out over the years. That’s why I stayed in the game.”

Conclusion: A Company Poised for Reinvention

The Fobi AI that returns to the market—pending regulatory approval—is not the same company that entered a CTO in 2024. It is leaner, clearer in purpose, and architected for a digital economy that demands convergence between strategy, architecture, and execution.

Anson’s candid, emotionally charged interview reveals a leadership team that not only endured a high-pressure reset but converted it into a strategic turning point. As he put it, Fobi now stands “back in the game and running the bases”—with 2026 positioned as a defining year.

The company’s evolution toward an AI-native professional-services and deployment model signals its ambition to play a meaningful role in the next decade of enterprise transformation. And if its trajectory through adversity is any indication, its next chapter may be its most compelling yet.

Kidoz Delivers Record Q3 Revenue of CAD $5.13M, Up 60% Year Over Year

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 9:57 PM on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025

Key performance drivers discussed:

  • Total revenue: CAD $5.13M, up 60% vs. Q3 2024
  • Gross profit: CAD $2.6M, up 48% vs. Q3 2024
  • Deeper direct relationships with global brands and agencies
  • Growing demand for custom creative advertising inside mobile games

Kidoz has emerged as a standout performer in the small cap adtech landscape. The company operates a global in-app advertising network that reaches hundreds of millions of users each month across mobile games, a channel increasingly favored by many of the world’s best-known brands seeking privacy-safe, high-engagement environments. Revenue has expanded steadily over the past several years, rising from $1.9 million in 2017 to $19.2 million in 2024. Its latest quarter reinforces that momentum, with Q3 revenue up 60 percent year over year to a record CAD $5.13 million, supported by meaningful improvements in gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA.

The discussion highlights a company not only growing, but doing so with operational discipline. CEO Jason Williams explains how multiple client verticals — from toys and entertainment to fast-food and broader consumer brands — drove performance as advertisers expanded budgets and sought more creative, measurable placements inside games.

HOW KIDOZ CAPTURED ITS STRONGEST Q3 YET

Kidoz’s ad-delivery system now powers tens of thousands of mobile apps and is certified by Apple and Google, giving it an advantage as global privacy standards tighten. The platform continues to attract larger, more frequent campaigns from major brands that require certainty around placement quality and performance.

A major contributor this quarter was the company’s shift toward more direct relationships with agencies and major advertisers. These partnerships are enabling Kidoz to secure bigger spend commitments and deliver custom creative units that command premium value.

“The system today can handle multiples of our annual revenue — now the focus is bringing in the clients to match that capacity,” CEO Jason Williams notes, underscoring the company’s readiness for commercial scale.

TAILWINDS TRANSFORMING THE MARKET

Several structural trends are reshaping digital advertising in Kidoz’s favor. AI is disrupting the open web, pushing advertisers to reallocate budgets into in-app environments where content is protected, attention is active, and performance is more predictable. At the same time, new regulatory proposals restricting social-media use for teens could shift even more screen time toward mobile gaming — a segment where Kidoz already holds deep penetration.

POSITIONED FOR A STRONG FINISH AND A STRONGER 2026

Kidoz invested ahead of Q4 to ensure system capacity for the industry’s busiest advertising season. With infrastructure now in place, the company is focused on scaling its client base across additional verticals and capturing recurring brand budgets throughout the year, not just during peak cycles.

As advertisers seek brand-safe environments with measurable engagement, Kidoz is becoming increasingly relevant. Its technology, relationships, and market tailwinds align at a moment when global advertisers are actively searching for new high-performance channels.

With record results, expanding partnerships, and a market shifting toward its core strengths, Kidoz enters the next phase of its growth story with momentum and clear visibility into long-term opportunity.

VIDEO – Fobi AI Unveils a Fully Reset Model Built for the AI-Driven, Web3 Era

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 1:52 PM on Monday, December 1st, 2025

Fobi AI CEO Rob Anson outlines how the company maintained operational progress during the past year, streamlining its structure, modernizing internal systems with AI, reducing costs, and preparing for a more commercially focused relaunch. Instead of losing momentum, the company concentrated on building a stronger, more scalable foundation for its next phase of growth.

Fobi has transitioned from a collection of standalone technologies into a professional-services-driven platform built around AI-powered reporting, mobile wallet strategy, and Web3-ready applications.

REINVENTION THROUGH COST DISCIPLINE AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE

A major theme is how Fobi used this period to reset its cost base and refine its revenue model. The company narrowed its operational footprint, strengthened its data-reporting capabilities, and moved toward higher-margin service engagements supported by a proprietary LLM environment that accelerates internal analyses and client delivery.

A significant step involved optimizing the audit process to improve efficiency and predictability. Audit expenses had previously exceeded $1 million over two years, and the transition to a new auditor is expected to create a more streamlined path forward.

“We’ve put ourselves in a far more efficient position than we’ve ever been in — and at a fraction of the cost.” — Rob Anson, CEO

EARLY SIGNS OF COMMERCIAL MOMENTUM

While limited in what it can disclose, Anson indicates that the business continued progressing throughout 2025. Several dynamics appear to be strengthening Fobi’s market position:

  • Growing demand from enterprises seeking mobile wallet integration and data modernization
    • Increased use of Fobi’s AI-driven reporting automation
    • Rising joint-venture discussions combining licensing, IP, and professional services
    • A more scalable cost structure supported by a leaner operating model

PREPARING FOR A STRATEGIC MARKET RE-ENTRY

With major internal milestones nearing completion, Fobi has a full brand refresh ready — including updated products, corporate materials, and new client use cases — to deploy once the company is able to communicate more broadly. Many shareholders have not yet seen how extensively the business has transformed.

OUTLOOK: A LEANER, MORE FOCUSED ENTERPRISE SOLUTION PROVIDER

For investors evaluating turnaround narratives, the interview highlights decisive cost management, proprietary AI infrastructure, a pivot toward professional services, and continued commercial activity. As the company completes its remaining steps and begins its next phase, Fobi is positioning itself with a stronger foundation for long-term enterprise growth.

This Small Cap AI Company Is Building Toward the Deloitte of the AI + Web3 Era

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 3:56 PM on Thursday, October 16th, 2025

A RARE COMEBACK STORY

In a market where most halted small-cap companies never return, Fobi AI has defied expectations. Under a cease-trade order since November 2024, the company didn’t fade into obscurity—the company reported nearly $3 million in 2024 revenue, including approximately $2.2 million from the sale of its German subsidiary. As CEO Rob Anson put it: “Most companies would have folded under these circumstances. We fought through every obstacle legal, financial, and market-driven and we’re coming back stronger than ever.”

FROM SURVIVAL TO STRATEGY

Fobi turned a year of constraint into a year of transformation: Consolidated operations with an annual run rate under $1.3M, enabling scale with fewer than 10 employees Redirected capital from the Passcreator sale into next-gen AI-powered wallet platforms Positioned itself as a lean, execution-first company with live products in the market

ENTERING A MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR ARENA

The company isn’t merely returning, it’s relaunching with sharper focus. Fobi’s ambition is to become the “Deloitte of the AI + Web3 era,” offering enterprises not just strategy, but real-time implementation through integrated wallets, identity verification, and automation platforms. With applications across stadiums, airports, healthcare, and finance, the addressable market spans multiple sectors.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR INVESTORS

Clear Market Fit: Enterprise clients need AI integration that traditional consultants can’t deliver Execution Edge: Products are live, scalable, and already generating client interest

LOOKING AHEAD

Fobi’s comeback is more than a return to trading—it is a reset. With tangible revenues, streamlined operations, and a future-focused product suite, the company is positioning itself as one of the rare small-cap survivors with the potential to thrive in the AI and Web3 economy. For investors, this represents a strategic reset rather than just a recovery, as the company builds toward its next growth phase.

This Small Cap Company’s CEO Is Investing Another $4,000,000 of His Own Money

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 3:53 PM on Thursday, October 16th, 2025

LEADERSHIP WITH SKIN IN THE GAME

In an environment where CEOs of public companies are often urged to “show leadership” by investing personally, PyroGenesis (TSX: PYR | OTCQX: PYRGF) is setting a rare benchmark for a small or micro-cap company. In this interview, CEO Peter Pascali discusses why he is committing an additional $4 million of his own capital to support PyroGenesis — the leader in innovating for ultra-high temperature processes and engineering, and a technology provider to heavy industry & defense.

This isn’t a symbolic gesture. It’s the latest installment in a personal commitment that now exceeds $19 million invested into the company, underscoring both confidence and alignment with shareholders.

CUSTOMER VALIDATION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL

PyroGenesis’ technologies aren’t theoretical; they are deployed in some of the world’s most demanding environments. For example, its plasma arc waste destruction systems have been installed on two U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, the USS Gerald R. Ford and USS John F. Kennedy, with two more systems to follow as the additional ships’ construction is completed — a testament to the company’s ability to pass the most stringent procurement tests.

Major industrial players such as Norsk Hydro, Constellium, and GE Vernova in Europe have publicly announced projects or relationships with PyroGenesis, signaling acceptance by highly selective partners.

“I’ve seen hundreds of companies, maybe thousands, in my career,” says Pascali. “I’ve not seen one like PyroGenesis. The technology is thrilling, the adoption is real, and even in today’s market we’ve built a backlog of signed contracts around $50 million.”

STRATEGIC POSITIONING IN A VARIETY OF MARKETS

European customers aside, PyroGenesis is building momentum in the Middle East — particularly Saudi Arabia — where national leaders are investing heavily to diversify away from oil. From advanced manufacturing, to aluminum production, to 3D printing, PyroGenesis’ portfolio aligns with the region’s push to onshore high-tech production and accelerate industrial transformation.

This geographic diversification also helps buffer against economic or supply chain challenges that may face various regions, giving PyroGenesis flexibility to manufacture in North America or abroad depending on customer needs.

OUTLOOK: A UNIQUE SMALL-CAP OPPORTUNITY

PyroGenesis is navigating the same capital and interest-rate headwinds facing many small and micro-caps — but with a critical difference: a CEO who repeatedly steps up as the largest investor, a growing range of validated technologies, and a diversified global market strategy. For investors seeking a small cap company with real technologies, real and prominent customers, and leadership fully aligned with shareholder interests, this interview offers an unfiltered look at a rare story.

Watch the full discussion to see why PyroGenesis’ CEO believes the company continues to be well positioned — and why he’s backing that belief with millions of his own dollars.

Magma Silver Targets District-Scale Discovery Thanks To Historical Work By Majors

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:42 PM on Wednesday, September 24th, 2025

“This is the easiest mining project I’ve seen in 40 years — on or near surface, high recovery rates, and significant upside the majors left untapped.” CEO Stephen Barley

A LEGACY OF MAJOR INVESTMENT

With gold at record highs and silver at a 14-year peak, Magma Silver Corp. (CSE: MGMA / OTCQB: MAGMF) is advancing a flagship Peruvian project that has already seen $14.5 million in exploration by majors including Newmont, AngloGold, and Bear Creek. Today, Magma is applying modern geological modeling to unlock the full value of what those majors left behind.

WHY THIS PROJECT MATTERS

  • DISTRICT-SCALE SYSTEM: The property spans 40 km², including an 8 km by 2 km anomalous zone with multiple gold and silver targets.

  • CLEAN SILVER ADVANTAGE: Unlike many deposits labeled “silver equivalent,” Magma’s system has pure silver with no contaminant metals — a rare and attractive characteristic.

  • JUMPSTART ON RESOURCE: With access to Newmont’s 65 drill holes and data, Magma can fast-track toward a compliant resource.
  • PERU SILVER RECORD:  Peru is one of the world’s top jurisdictions for silver and gold exploration as the 3rd largest silver producer globally – and a top 15 mining jurisdiction worldwide.

DRILLING AND RESULTS WILL BEGIN TO FLOW IN 2025

Magma’s Phase 1 sampling confirmed high-grade results, including 14 g/t gold and 311 g/t silver in surface samples. Drilling begins mid-November with six holes planned, and results expected before year-end — setting the stage for steady news flow through 2026.

RWA TOKENIZATION IS ON THE TABLE

The company is exploring real asset tokenization to monetize gold in the ground while minimizing dilution — an innovative financing path rarely seen at this stage. Longer term, Magma sees precedent in the Alamo Dorado Project, a discovery that sold for over $100 million when silver was just $5/oz.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

At a market cap of just ~$6M CAD, Magma Silver offers investors:

  • A project already advanced by global majors

  • Proven high-grade sampling results consistent with majors

  • District-scale exploration potential

  • And a management team with a track record of successful discoveries and financings.

With drilling underway and catalysts imminent, Magma Silver is positioning itself as one of Peru’s next major gold-silver stories at a time when the sector is gaining global momentum.

Kidoz Posts $57M Three-Year Revenue and Record $7.28M H1 2025, Cementing Leadership in Safe Mobile Gamer Engagement

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 5:29 PM on Thursday, August 28th, 2025

 

Kidoz Inc. (TSXV: KDOZ | OTCQB: KDOZF) is scaling its mobile gamer engagement platform, serving America’s blue-chip brands such as LEGO, Mattel and McDonald’s.

The company has delivered CAD $57M in revenue over the last three years (2022–2024) and reported record first-half 2025 revenue of $7.28M, reinforcing its strong growth trajectory.

“Kidoz has recorded the highest first-half revenue in the Company’s history, and we are confident that H2 will put us into record territory for the year.” said Jason Williams, CEO.


WHY THIS MATTERS NOW

As regulators tighten rules on data use for minors, brands need scale without personal data. Kidoz operates a Google-certified, Apple-approved network that reaches over 1 billion mobile gamers worldwide across tens of thousands of apps, providing safe, high-impact access for leading brands including LEGO, Mattel, and McDonald’s.


COMMERCIAL MOMENTUM

Building on $57M over the past three years, Kidoz is accelerating growth through Q2 Sales & Marketing, increasing spending by 95% YoY and non-capitalized R&D by 48% YoY to strengthen product and pipeline while maintaining disciplined execution.

PRODUCT ADVANTAGE

The platform’s Kite IQ engine enables contextual targeting in real time, matching ads to game and app environments without relying on personal data. This supports both performance and compliance objectives for global advertisers.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Mobile gaming is a global pastime, yet brand ad spend in the channel remains early relative to audience size. With scale, safety credentials, and new AI-driven tools, Kidoz is positioned to convert agency tests into larger, multi-market programs.

Bottom Line: Kidoz has established itself as a leader in safe mobile gamer engagement. The combination of record H1 revenue, blue-chip partnerships and continued investment in sales and technology underpins a strong case for growth.

Kidoz Dominates Kid-Safe Mobile Ads with 500M+ Monthly Reach and $3.9M Record Q1 Revenue

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 5:48 PM on Wednesday, June 25th, 2025

Kidoz Inc. (TSXV: KDOZ), a global leader in kid-safe mobile advertising, continues to separate itself from the pack, posting record Q1 2025 results and reinforcing its position as the trusted solution for brands navigating increasingly strict digital privacy laws. With nearly 5,000 apps powered by its platform and a reach of over 500 million children globally across more than 60 countries, Kidoz is not just participating in the kid-focused ad market—it’s shaping it.

In an exclusive interview, Kidoz CEO Jason Williams outlined the company’s remarkable growth trajectory, its expanding reputation among global brands, and why the company is perfectly positioned for continued success in a rapidly changing digital environment.

Breaking Records: Q1 2025 Marks a Milestone

Despite Q1 typically being Kidoz’s slowest season, the company delivered a record-breaking $3.9 million CAD (approximately $2.7 million USD) in revenue, representing 54% year-over-year growth. This performance is even more impressive considering the cyclical nature of advertising to kids, where spending typically accelerates later in the year.

Williams attributes this success to surging demand from major global brands, who are increasingly prioritizing digital safety, privacy, and performance. “We’ve built a product that ticks every box: value, scale, trust, and zero compliance risk,” said Williams. “There’s no other platform that can offer what we can at this level of scale in the in-app gaming space.”

The Competitive Advantage: Direct Brand Relationships

One of Kidoz’s key strategic shifts over the past two years has been the move to direct in-house ad sales, especially in the U.S. market. By reducing reliance on agencies and building direct relationships with brands like LEGO, Mattel, and McDonald’s, Kidoz has gained greater control over campaign execution, pricing, and customer feedback.

Williams emphasized that these direct conversations are not only happening more frequently but have also grown more meaningful:

  • Brands are proactively seeking Kidoz for trusted, fully compliant solutions.
  • Compliance is no longer a “nice-to-have” but an essential requirement in the face of evolving privacy laws.
  • The company’s reputation is solidifying, with brand partners now eager to explore what Kidoz can deliver.

Privacy and Compliance: Kidoz’s Core Strength

As new privacy regulations like COPPA 2.0 and age-gating requirements for mixed-audience apps begin to reshape the landscape, Kidoz’s long-standing commitment to compliance is proving invaluable. The company’s technology was built from the ground up to be fully privacy-safe, requiring no tracking or data collection—a critical differentiator as regulators worldwide increase scrutiny and fines for violations.

Key Compliance Advantages:

  • Fully COPPA and GDPR-K compliant.
  • Strategic partnership with Safe Harbor certification partner Privo.
  • Zero data tracking—completely privacy-by-design.
  • Reduced brand risk, enabling marketing managers to “sleep easy” knowing their campaigns are compliant.

Williams summed it up: “There’s no sales pitch here. It’s just a fact. The macro environment says you can’t afford to break the rules. We’re the safest path forward—and we don’t sacrifice performance.”

Profitability with Purpose

Unlike many fast-growing tech companies that prioritize top-line growth at the expense of profitability, Kidoz is delivering both.

  • Q1 2025 marked the company’s second consecutive profitable quarter.
  • Net income, gross income, EBITDA, and free cash flow all grew alongside revenue.
  • The company continues to invest in innovation while driving operational efficiency.

Kidoz’s ability to grow profitably without sacrificing quality, scale, or compliance is rare in the digital advertising sector and speaks to its disciplined management approach.

Riding Tailwinds, Not Facing Headwinds: The AI Advantage

While artificial intelligence (AI) is disrupting traditional digital advertising—particularly click-based web advertising—Kidoz’s business model is largely insulated. Unlike Google’s ad platform, which faces AI-driven search disruption, Kidoz’s core is in entertainment and in-app gaming.

“Gaming is one of the world’s most popular entertainment forms,” Williams explained. “AI isn’t replacing entertainment. In fact, AI is helping us improve our monetization tools, targeting, and operations. AI is wind behind us, not in front of us.”

The company is also benefiting from a broader media shift toward gaming as an advertising channel, which Williams noted is now capturing more attention—and more ad budgets—from major brands and media planners.

Looking Ahead: Sustaining Growth Through Innovation

While Q2 and Q3 are traditionally softer quarters due to the seasonal nature of kid-focused advertising, Kidoz is proactively working to mitigate these lulls:

  • New products are in development to create more year-round revenue opportunities.
  • Direct sales strategies continue to expand.
  • The company is investing heavily in building the most competitive, privacy-first tools in the market.

Williams made it clear: Kidoz is not standing still. The company is committed to continuous improvement, aiming to flatten seasonal dips and push toward consistent, year-round growth.

Conclusion: The Trusted Leader in Kid-Safe Mobile Advertising

Kidoz has firmly established itself as the go-to solution for privacy-first, kid-safe mobile advertising.

  • Trusted by the biggest brands.
  • Compliant with the world’s strictest privacy laws.
  • Profitable, scalable, and growing.

In a market where brand safety, privacy, and trust are more valuable than ever, Kidoz stands alone in its ability to deliver results at scale—without sacrificing compliance or performance.

For investors looking for a small-cap tech company with a proven growth story, real profitability, and a strong strategic moat, Kidoz may be one of the most compelling opportunities in the market today.

“This isn’t just a growth story,” Williams said. “It’s a growth story with purpose, with discipline, and with the trust of the world’s most respected brands.”
