Plasma Power: How PyroGenesis Is Quietly Leading Heavy Industry’s Green Revolution

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 1:15 PM on Wednesday, April 30th, 2025

From high-efficiency torches to billion-dollar clients, this Canadian tech company is proving that clean heat can mean big business.

As global industries scramble to decarbonize and future-proof their operations, one Montreal-based company is emerging as a key enabler of the clean energy transition. PyroGenesis Inc. (TSX: PYR | OTCQX: PYRGF | FRA: 8PY1), a high-tech leader in all-electric plasma technologies, is gaining serious traction with some of the world’s largest players in aluminum, defense, aerospace, and steelmaking.

After a breakout 2024, the company is now sitting on a $54.4 million backlog of signed and awarded contracts — 87% denominated in U.S. dollars — and showing no signs of slowing down.

Turning Heat Into Revenue: Record Year, Profitable Quarter

PyroGenesis reported $15.7 million in revenue for FY2024, a 27% increase over the previous year. Q4 alone saw a 40% revenue boost year-over-year, clocking in at $4.22 million with a net income of $145,320 — a dramatic turnaround from the $9.8 million loss reported in Q4 2023.

This marked the seventh straight quarter of revenue growth, a sign of both strong execution and growing demand for the company’s ultra-high-temperature solutions. Gross margins improved to 41.3% in Q4, while SG&A expenses were slashed by $20 million year-over-year, reflecting strong cost discipline.

World-Class Clients, World-Changing Tech

PyroGenesis isn’t just innovating — it’s executing at scale with some of the world’s biggest industrial names:

Norsk Hydro, one of the largest aluminum producers globally, awarded PyroGenesis a ~$2.4 million contract to supply plasma torches for fossil fuel replacement at its flagship plant in Norway.
Boeing has entered into the final stages of certification to approve PyroGenesis’ NexGen™ titanium metal powder for aerospace applications.
A $27 million contract from a U.S. defense and aerospace contractor to build a 20-megawatt plasma torch — believed to be among the most powerful ever produced.
The U.S. Department of Defense tapped PyroGenesis to destroy toxic PFAS chemicals with its advanced plasma technology.

This kind of customer validation doesn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of more than a decade of R&D, patents, and performance.

Three Verticals, One Mission: Clean Industry

PyroGenesis’ strategy is built around three core business verticals — all aligned with global industrial needs:

Energy Transition & Emission Reduction
Replacing fossil fuel burners with electric plasma torches in steel, aluminum, and cement production.
Waste Remediation
Destroying toxic “forever chemicals” and hazardous waste with zero-emissions plasma tech.
Commodity Security & Optimization
Recovering critical minerals, creating high-purity powders, and transforming waste into valuable materials like renewable natural gas and fumed silica.

This diversified approach positions PyroGenesis not just as a clean tech company — but as an essential solutions provider for modern industry.

Operational Momentum and Market Tailwinds

2025 has opened with strong tailwinds. The company:

Secured new contracts with multi-billion-dollar clients in aluminum and waste-to-energy sectors.
Launched joint studies with GE Vernova, targeting furnace electrification for iron ore pelletization and aluminum smelting.
Advanced live-furnace testing for aluminum and steel plasma heating with multiple global manufacturers.

With governments and industries accelerating toward decarbonization targets, demand for factory-ready, emission-reducing technology is surging — and PyroGenesis is delivering.

The Bottom Line: Execution Meets Opportunity

PyroGenesis is no longer just a tech innovator — it’s a proven commercial operator with real clients, real contracts, and real momentum. Its plasma technologies are solving multi-billion-dollar problems across energy, defense, aerospace, and heavy manufacturing.

As industries demand cleaner, faster, and smarter ways to produce materials, PyroGenesis is answering with a rare combination: breakthrough innovation and operational scale.

This is one small-cap that’s powering some very big shifts.

Why Gold’s Bull Market Is a Defining Moment for Lake Winn Resources Corp.

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 1:11 PM on Wednesday, April 30th, 2025

As prices climb, one dual-commodity explorer positions itself to benefit from both gold’s resurgence and the future of lithium

Gold Prices In Excess of $3,300 — But the Real Story Is What Comes Next

With gold futures recently topping $3,500 per ounce for the first time in history, the global commodities narrative is shifting. Analysts, including DoubleLine’s Jeffrey Gundlach, are forecasting even higher milestones, with predictions reaching as high as $4,000 per ounce in the not-so-distant future.

Driving this momentum are macro forces like increased central bank buying, global recession fears, and currency devaluation. Gold is once again proving its role as a safe-haven asset—and the companies with quality exposure to gold exploration are gaining renewed attention.

Lake Winn Resources Corp. (CSE: LWR | FSE: EE1A) is a Canadian mineral exploration company positioned squarely at the intersection of this bullish gold environment and the growing demand for critical minerals like lithium.

Lake Winn’s Gold Assets: High Grades, High Potential

Lake Winn’s strategic gold portfolio is centered in Manitoba’s prolific Flin Flon Gold Belt, an area long known for high-grade discoveries and producing mines. The company’s two primary gold projects—Cloud and Quartz—form the foundation of a targeted exploration strategy with proven upside.

Cloud Project

Located in the heart of the Flin Flon Gold Belt
Recent drill results include 1m @ 17.3 g/t gold, confirming near-surface high-grade potential
Multiple targets identified for follow-up drilling in 2024

Quartz Project

Sits near the historic Reed Lake and Four Mile Island VMS deposits
Previously drilled intercept of 1m @ 19.9 g/t gold from historic work
A 1.45 km conductor is now being prepared for testing to trace the mineralized zone’s full extent

These intercepts—both exceeding 17 grams per tonne—demonstrate not only strong mineralization but the kind of high-grade gold values that can drive project economics.

To sharpen execution and maximize asset value, Lake Winn is spinning out both gold properties into a dedicated new company: Gold Winn Resources Corp. This move enables focused development of the gold portfolio while preserving lithium leadership at the parent company level.

Positioned for the Clean Energy Transition: LNPG Lithium Project

While gold provides a near-term opportunity in a rising price environment, Lake Winn is also thinking long term. Its flagship Little Nahanni Pegmatite Project (LNPG), located in the Northwest Territories near the Yukon border, is a major lithium-bearing pegmatite system covering 9,682.5 hectares.

LNPG Project

Hosts a 7 km long lithium-rich pegmatite dyke swarm
Exploration supported by $400,000 in government grants, including funding from the Northwest Territories Mining Incentive Program
AI-driven geophysical analysis underway to map deeper pegmatite targets
Positioned to supply future battery metal demand from North America

With both gold and lithium exposure—backed by top-tier geological settings—Lake Winn has constructed a portfolio that balances today’s opportunities with tomorrow’s needs.

Final Word: Dual Commodities, Single Focus—Opportunity

With gold’s price momentum driving global headlines and lithium demand continuing to build, Lake Winn Resources Corp. stands out for its exposure to both. The company’s high-grade gold assets in Manitoba, combined with a substantial lithium project in the Northwest Territories, place it among a rare group of explorers with diversified critical mineral potential.

Focused, well-funded, and backed by verifiable exploration success, Lake Winn is quietly building a strong foundation to benefit from both the gold rally and the clean energy transition.

Quantum BioPharma’s Secret Weapon: A Dual Engine of Clinical Innovation and Consumer Expansion

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 11:10 AM on Wednesday, April 16th, 2025

From clinical breakthroughs in multiple sclerosis to a fast-growing alcohol detox brand, Quantum BioPharma is bridging biotech innovation with real-world impact.

A Biopharma Platform Tackling Today’s Toughest Health Challenges

Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM | CSE: QNTM) is emerging as a dynamic force in the biotechnology sector, developing solutions for two major public health issues: neurodegenerative diseases and alcohol misuse. With a diversified pipeline spanning prescription drugs and over-the-counter consumer products, the company is building an integrated portfolio capable of delivering both near-term commercial gains and long-term medical breakthroughs.

The company’s strategy is uniquely positioned at the intersection of science, innovation, and unmet need — making it one of the few small-cap biotechs advancing both FDA-bound therapeutics and consumer-ready wellness products simultaneously.

Lucid-MS: Targeting the Root Cause of Multiple Sclerosis

At the heart of Quantum’s pharmaceutical program is Lucid-MS, a patented new chemical entity showing early promise in treating multiple sclerosis (MS). Unlike conventional MS drugs that focus on managing inflammation, Lucid-MS addresses the core driver of long-term disability in MS: the breakdown of the myelin sheath — the protective layer around nerve fibers.

Following a successful Phase 1 clinical trial, the drug has been deemed safe and well-tolerated, with therapeutic blood levels observed in healthy participants. Quantum is now preparing to launch a Phase 2 trial in 2026, targeting efficacy in MS patients.

What makes Lucid-MS even more distinctive is Quantum’s collaborative study with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), featuring scientists from Harvard Medical School, to validate advanced PET imaging as a way to monitor demyelination in real time. This partnership elevates both the scientific credibility and clinical precision behind Lucid-MS, positioning it as a next-generation therapeutic candidate in a $27 billion global MS treatment market.

unbuzzd™: A Consumer Wellness Product with Scientific Backing

In parallel with its clinical pipeline, Quantum BioPharma is making significant inroads in the consumer wellness market through unbuzzd™, an over-the-counter alcohol detox and recovery beverage developed by its spinout, Celly Nutrition Corp. The product, a fast-acting powder stick formulated by pharmacology experts, is designed to accelerate alcohol metabolism, restore mental clarity, and reduce hangover symptoms.

unbuzzd™ is already making retail waves. Backed by a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, the beverage demonstrated that it could reduce blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over 40% faster than placebo in many subjects. It’s now available via Amazon and unbuzzd.com, with retail expansion underway in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean through a new distribution agreement with FUSION Distribution Group.

Most recently, unbuzzd™ entered a landmark partnership with AATAC, one of the largest retail networks in the U.S., which connects the product to over 80,000 convenience store locations. This expansion gives unbuzzd™ exposure to leading chains like 7-Eleven, Circle K, Shell, and ampm — significantly scaling its retail footprint.

Multiple Value Streams, One Vision

Quantum BioPharma holds 25.71% ownership in Celly Nutrition and receives up to 7% in royalties from unbuzzd™ sales until a $250M threshold is met — and 3% in perpetuity thereafter. This structure offers upside exposure to the high-growth consumer market while maintaining strategic focus on the pharmaceutical pipeline.

With an improved cash position, enhanced operational efficiency, and momentum across both drug development and consumer wellness fronts, the company is now advancing toward key inflection points on multiple fronts.

A Biotech Story Worth Watching

With a first-in-class MS treatment advancing toward Phase 2 trials, a consumer product already on shelves and gaining market traction, and elite partnerships with global institutions like Harvard and AATAC — Quantum BioPharma stands apart in the small-cap biotech landscape.

It’s not just a company developing drugs. It’s building a platform for impact, backed by scientific validation and commercial momentum.

This Small Cap Gold Company Announced 363,000 Ounces As Gold Sets Record Prices

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 4:38 PM on Tuesday, April 15th, 2025

In this interview with AGORACOM, Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR | OTCQB: RFHRF | FSE: 9RR) CEO Nicole Brewster discusses the company’s newly updated 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate for its 100%-owned Parbec Gold Deposit in Quebec — a move that significantly strengthens the company’s value proposition at a time when gold prices continue to surge. The updated estimate now totals 363,000 ounces of gold, marking a 29% increase over the previous figure and signaling growing maturity and confidence in the deposit. Notably, 265,000 ounces are now categorized as Measured and Indicated, and 87% of the total resource sits within an open pit — directly adjacent to Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic Mine, one of Canada’s largest gold operations.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS: Open Pit Advantage: With mineralization starting at surface and a pit depth of 300 meters, Parbec’s economics are compelling, especially with nearby toll milling options. Strategic Fit for Agnico: The project’s location beside Canadian Malartic and proximity to multiple mills makes it a potential solution for Agnico Eagle’s “fill-the-mill” strategy — especially amid $5.6B in M&A activity in the district.

Clear Monetization Path: CEO Nicole Brewster outlines a three-path strategy: sale, joint venture, or self-development, including a plan to initiate stripping and bulk sampling this summer for potential cash flow.

A COMPELLING QUOTE FROM THE CEO “We are very happy to deliver this significant size increase to our open pit gold deposit next door to Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic mine… With this MRE, 87% of the gold ounces within the resource estimate are contained within the accompanying open pit.” — Nicole Brewster, CEO

WHY INVESTORS SHOULD WATCH THIS INTERVIEW Renforth has done what many small caps struggle to achieve: increase its resource size while also upgrading confidence categories — all while controlling costs and maintaining 100% ownership in one of the world’s top-ranked mining jurisdictions. With strategic positioning next to Canada’s mining giant, viable paths to monetization, and growing relevance in a high-gold-price environment, Parbec is moving from potential to probability.

This interview isn’t just an update — it’s a real-time look into how Renforth is strategically unlocking value from its assets and evaluating serious next steps. Watch the full interview now to understand why Renforth could be a key player in Quebec’s next wave of gold development.

Gold Hits Record Highs Above $3100/Oz — 7 Companies Positioned to Benefit from the Boom

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:09 PM on Monday, March 31st, 2025

GFG logo served with static path of public directory

Gold prices have recently reached new record highs, continuing an impressive upward trajectory that began during Donald Trump’s presidency. Since January 20, the precious metal has gained approximately 15%, marking a significant rally that has caught the attention of investors worldwide.

In 2024 alone, gold prices surged by 27%, and the first few months of 2025 have already seen an additional 19% increase. This remarkable climb follows Trump’s announcement of new trade tariffs, which set the stage for economic uncertainty. While many had expected targeted tariffs on certain countries, Trump surprised markets by declaring that his reciprocal tariffs would apply to “all countries,” including a 25% tariff on auto imports.

The intensifying trade tensions and global economic unpredictability have led many investors to seek refuge in safe-haven assets like gold. With the uncertainty surrounding international trade and the broader financial markets, gold has become a go-to investment for those looking to hedge against volatility.

As the price of gold continues to soar, several exploration companies are well-positioned to benefit from this upward trend. These companies are actively exploring for gold in key regions around the world, further solidifying their place in this growing market.

Canadian Biotech Quantum BioPharma Nears a Landmark Multiple Sclerosis Breakthrough

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 9:54 AM on Thursday, March 27th, 2025

New Approach Could Redefine How Multiple Sclerosis Is Treated Worldwide

Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) may be on the verge of redefining treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic neurological disorder affecting nearly 3 million people worldwide. In a compelling interview on the AGORACOM, Dr. Andrzej Chruscinski, Vice-President of Scientific and Clinical Affairs at Quantum BioPharma, detailed the company’s successful completion of its Phase 1 clinical trial for Lucid-MS, a first-in-class neuroprotective drug targeting demyelination—the core driver of MS progression.

Unlike existing treatments, which primarily focus on managing the immune system and controlling inflammation, Lucid-MS takes aim at protecting and potentially repairing the myelin sheath—the protective layer around nerve cells that degenerates in MS patients. “We’re excited about the potential of Lucid-MS to protect myelin in MS patients as it represents a new direction in the treatment of this disease,” said Quantum BioPharma CEO Zeeshan Saeed.

A Novel Solution to a Persistent Problem

Most MS therapies today only address the inflammatory aspect of the disease, leaving the underlying neurodegeneration largely unaddressed. Lucid-MS changes that narrative.

The drug works by preventing the unraveling of the myelin sheath, a process triggered by a chemical modification known as citrullination.
Developed over a decade by Dr. Lakshmi Kotra and Dr. Mario Moscarello at the University of Toronto, Lucid-MS targets this key process, aiming to halt disease progression and protect nerve communication.
The approach has already shown success in preclinical animal models.

“Think of the myelin sheath like insulation around electrical wiring. When that’s compromised, signals can’t transmit properly,” explained Dr. Chruscinski. “Our drug preserves that insulation, maintaining neural function.”

Phase 1 Trial: Safety Confirmed, Therapeutic Potential Emerges

The recently completed Phase 1 trial focused on evaluating safety and pharmacokinetics in healthy participants. According to Dr. Chruscinski, “Lucid-MS was safe and well-tolerated, with no adverse events. We’re also pleased with the drug levels observed in blood, which we believe are therapeutic.”

This milestone is crucial for advancing to Phase 2, where the company will begin testing Lucid-MS in MS patients to assess efficacy.

What to Expect in Phase 2

The company is actively designing its Phase 2 trial with a projected start in Q1 2026, pending FDA clearance via an Investigational New Drug (IND) application in late 2025.

Key details under consideration:

The trial will include roughly 60 MS patients (30 receiving Lucid-MS and 30 on placebo).
Outcomes will be measured using MRI scans and clinical assessments to evaluate both biological and functional improvement.
While the exact location is yet to be confirmed, Quantum is exploring options to include Canadian sites in recognition of the drug’s Canadian origins.

Support From the Scientific Community

Feedback from global experts at major MS conferences in North America and Europe has been overwhelmingly positive. “The response has been tremendous,” said Dr. Chruscinski. “There’s a real appetite for a drug that targets neurodegeneration, which remains an unmet need in MS.”

This third-party validation underscores the broader scientific and commercial relevance of Quantum BioPharma’s work.

A Human-Centered Mission With Investor Appeal

Dr. Chruscinski also emphasized his personal motivation. “It’s exciting to be part of something that could make a real difference. I was there when the first dose was administered in our Phase 1 trial. That’s a moment I won’t forget.”

While the drug development process remains long and complex, Quantum BioPharma has achieved a significant milestone that positions the company—and Lucid-MS—at the forefront of innovation in MS treatment.

For investors, the opportunity lies in Quantum’s unique approach, successful early data, and a clearly defined path toward a potential market-shifting solution.

Conclusion: A Meaningful Milestone With a Promising Horizon

With a Phase 1 trial successfully completed and a novel therapeutic mechanism unlike anything currently on the market, Quantum BioPharma is emerging as a company to watch in the fight against multiple sclerosis. As it gears up for its Phase 2 trial and FDA engagement, the company stands at a pivotal inflection point—one that could not only deliver long-term value for investors but also reshape the future of MS care.

KEY MILESTONES AND WHAT’S NEXT

Successful Phase 1 Trial: Lucid-MS has shown excellent safety with no serious side effects, paving the way for a groundbreaking treatment for MS.
Next Major Step: The Phase 2 trial is set for early 2026, with 60 participants.
FDA Submission on the Horizon: Plans to submit application to the FDA by late 2025, taking a huge step toward regulatory approval.
Massive Market Opportunity: With 2.9 million people worldwide affected by Multiple Sclerosis and the market projected to surpass $30 billion by 2030, Lucid-MS could potentially capture a significant share of this rapidly expanding space.

A NEW ERA IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS TREATMENT

Quantum BioPharma (NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) Lucid-MS is setting the stage to revolutionize MS treatment. Unlike existing therapies that only target immune system responses, Lucid-MS focuses on protecting and repairing myelin, the critical layer around nerve fibers. This novel approach has the potential to slow or even reverse disease progression—offering new hope for millions of MS sufferers.

HOW DOES IT WORK? A TOTALLY NEW APPROACH TO TREATING MS

Think of nerves like electrical wires in your body, and myelin as the protective coating around those wires. With Multiple Sclerosis, the immune system attacks this coating (called demyelination), causing damage that leads to muscle weakness, vision problems, and difficulty moving.

Most MS treatments try to calm the immune system to slow down the attack. Lucid-MS is different. Instead of focusing on the immune system, it works directly on the myelin to stabilize and protect it from damage.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

By keeping myelin intact, Lucid-MS may help slow down the progression of MS and prevent disability—something current MS drugs don’t do very well.

SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGH BACKED BY INDUSTRY RECOGNITION

Lucid-MS is backed by cutting-edge research from Dr. Lakshmi Khotra’s lab at the University of Toronto, where the critical process of myelin breakdown in MS patients was discovered. The drug’s ability to address this underlying issue is a potential game-changer in neurodegenerative treatments.

It’s already gaining enthusiastic support from leading medical experts and researchers, underscoring its transformative potential.

A VISION FOR THE FUTURE

Dr. Andrzej Chruscinski, Vice President of Scientific and Clinical Affairs at Quantum BioPharma, expressed the company’s excitement about Lucid-MS’s future.

“We are on the cusp of something monumental. Lucid-MS has the potential to transform MS treatment and open doors for treating other nerve-related diseases. As we move toward Phase 2 and beyond, we’re excited to bring this innovative therapy to the patients who need it most.”

With promising clinical results, a massive market opportunity, and rising industry recognition, Quantum BioPharma is leading the charge in next-generation treatments for Multiple Sclerosis

3 Billion Gamers, $21B Market—Why Kidoz Is Winning in Mobile AdTech

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 4:16 PM on Tuesday, March 25th, 2025

In the ever-evolving world of entertainment, gaming is no longer just a pastime—it’s the most powerful and profitable media format in the world. Surpassing film, music, and television, mobile gaming has emerged as the dominant platform for engagement, particularly among younger audiences. At the center of this transformation is Kidoz Inc. (TSXV:KIDZ), a mobile AdTech leader specializing in safe, COPPA- and GDPR-compliant digital advertising for kids and families.

As brands shift their media strategies toward platforms that guarantee attention, interaction, and safety, Kidoz is proving to be a high-performing partner in the mobile gaming ecosystem.

Gaming: The Modern Entertainment Powerhouse

Over the past decade, gaming has gone from niche to mainstream. With over 3 billion active players globally, gaming now generates more revenue than film and music combined. It’s more immersive, more social, and more accessible than ever, thanks to the ubiquity of smartphones and tablets. And while older generations still turn to traditional media, younger audiences—especially Gen Alpha and Gen Z—are spending more time gaming than on any other media platform.

This is where Kidoz thrives.

Operating within this high-growth market, Kidoz enables brands to reach young audiences where they spend their time—inside games and apps—without compromising safety or privacy. With the Kidoz Contextual Ad Network, advertisers can deliver age-appropriate, engaging content across thousands of kid-focused mobile platforms, video channels, and websites.

Record-Breaking Revenue in Q4 2024

Kidoz’s latest financial performance underscores the value of its position in the gaming-driven ad market. In Q4 2024, Kidoz reported record revenue of USD $7.44 million, marking a +23% year-over-year increase and a +225% gain over Q3 2024. The company also delivered a pre-tax profit of $2.2 million, reversing a loss from the prior quarter.

Other financial milestones include:

Adjusted EBITDA: $2.17 million (up from $591K in Q4 2023)
Free Cash Flow: $2.34 million (vs. $37.8K in Q4 2023)
Cash Reserves: $2.78 million at year-end 2024

This performance is being driven by greater direct brand investment, increased adoption of Kidoz’s programmatic ad solutions, and strong platform optimization—making the company a standout in an increasingly crowded space.

Tapping into Gen Alpha with Contextual Precision

Gen Alpha is growing up in a world where gaming is not just entertainment—it’s culture. Mobile games are where they watch videos, socialize with friends, and engage with content. Unlike previous generations, Gen Alpha is mobile-first by default.

Kidoz’s technology ensures brands can reach this audience in a compliant, respectful, and meaningful way. The platform leverages AI-powered contextual targeting to ensure that ads are relevant, safe, and delivered in the right environment—without relying on personal data or intrusive tracking methods.

This makes Kidoz a go-to solution for brands like LEGO, Mattel, Disney, and Kraft, all of whom have launched campaigns through the Kidoz network to engage young users effectively and ethically.

The Future of AdTech Is Kid-Safe, High-Performance, and Global

Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, Kidoz is expanding its global footprint through direct brand relationships and strategic event participation. With industry-leading tools like the Kidoz Publisher SDK and Kidoz COPPA Shield, the company continues to raise the standard for what’s possible in mobile advertising.

With the kids’ digital advertising market projected to surpass $21 billion by 2031, and regulatory changes like COPPA 2.0 expected to expand the total addressable market, Kidoz is not only riding the wave—it’s helping to shape it.

As gaming cements itself as the entertainment format of the future, Kidoz is uniquely positioned to be the platform that connects the world’s most trusted brands with the next generation of digital consumers—securely, effectively, and at scale.
