Banzai International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNZI) (“Banzai” or the “Company”), a leading marketing technology company that provides essential marketing and sales solutions, has engaged international investor relations specialists MZ Group (MZ) to lead a comprehensive strategic investor relations and financial communications program across all key markets.

MZ Group will work closely with Banzai’s management team to develop and implement a comprehensive capital markets strategy designed to increase the Company’s visibility throughout the investment community. The campaign will highlight that Banzai is consolidating mission-critical, sub-scale marketing technology (MarTech) products to build a data-driven platform of solutions that seamlessly integrate out of the box. The company’s award-winning products capitalize on economies of scale and complementary customer bases to maximize cross-selling opportunities and grow recurring revenue.

MZ has developed a distinguished reputation as a premier resource for institutional investors, brokers, analysts, and private investors and maintains offices worldwide. Chris Tyson, Executive Vice President at MZ North America, along with Directors Larry Holub and Brooks Hamilton, will advise Banzai's investor relations team in all facets of investor relations including, but not limited to, the coordination of roadshows and investment conferences across key cities and building brand awareness with financial and social media outlets.

Chris Tyson commented: “The MarTech market continues to expand, with Banzai’s total available market expected to grow to $39.4 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 11.8%, according to the Winterberry Group. At the same time, companies and marketers are struggling with the explosion of SaaS vendors. According to a Netskope Cloud Report, enterprises use an average of over 120 marketing tools for their daily operations, leading to disjointed customer experiences and messy data. Customer data specifically remains a challenge for marketers, with 70% of marketing analytics consumers agreeing that access to unified customer data is a major barrier to the success of marketing analytics as reported in a 2022 Gartner® Marketing Data and Analytics Survey. With AI continuing to eat away at marketing, companies need to deliver more growth with less resources, and solutions that integrate seamlessly. Banzai gives marketers the data, analytics, and integrated applications they need to win. With over 11,000 MarTech vendors, Banzai has established a clear acquisition strategy with well-defined evaluation and success criteria to capitalize on a major consolidation opportunity in the industry. Banzai’s M&A strategy, taken together with its recurring revenue model, high profit margins, and significant operating leverage combined with rapid growth, presents an exciting story to share with our network of institutional, family offices and retail investors.”

Brooks Hamilton added: “Customers including Cisco, Sprinklr, Globe Life Insurance, and LoanDepot praise Banzai’s award-winning products for their user-friendly interfaces and powerful features that get content in front of target audiences. Its AI-driven Reach solution identifies ideal customer profiles (ICP) from a database of over 379 million verified contacts and deploys multi-channel outbound campaigns directly to them. Demio is the top webinar and virtual event platform for marketers, built with powerful engagement features designed to elevate audience interactions and transform webinars into interactive experiences. Building on this success, Banzai is developing and acquiring mission-critical MarTech solutions across three functions, to create a family of seamlessly integrated solutions for customers. Banzai’s acquisition evaluation playbook is focused on growth and profitability profile, and strategic cross-sale potential. Successful new integrations will provide customer retention, expansion, efficiency, and growth.”

“Our ability to leverage deep analytics and insights to drive marketing decisions has led to the addition of 1,434 customers through August 2024,” said Joe Davy, CEO of Banzai. “This includes 981 new customers and 453 reactivating customers, highlighting our strong organic growth and customer loyalty. Customer adoption has been driven by improvements to both our Demio product and our customer acquisition efficiency. We currently serve nearly 3,000 customers, presenting a great opportunity for continued expansion of our customer base as we execute our planned acquisition strategy and seek new opportunities for inorganic expansion.

“We have taken key steps very recently to improve our overall financial position having entered into restructuring agreements totaling $28.8 million in reduced and restructuring liabilities, with participation from company insiders. In tandem with the $5 million private placement that we recently closed, we are well positioned to execute on our growth initiatives. We look forward to working with the team at MZ Group to communicate our exciting product releases, business milestones and other announcements in the weeks and months ahead,” concluded Davy.
