and Existing Clients for Privacy-First Targeting Solutions and
Additional Budgets for Full-Screen Video Ads
Disclosure of inside information according to Article 17 MAR
of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014
Stockholm, Sweden – October 30, 2024 – Verve Group SE
("Verve" or the "Company", ISIN: SE0018538068; Ticker: VER at
Nasdaq First North / M8G at Frankfurt Stock Exchange) reports
that organic revenue growth increased for the fourth consecutive
quarter, now reaching 31% in Q3 2024. The acceleration of organic
growth is driven by multiple factors, including new large customer
onboardings, scaling up of existing customers, increasing demand
for ID-less targeting solutions, as well as full-screen and video
ads.
Key Highlights:
- Significant Customer
Growth: Large software clients (customers with > $100K
revenue per year) grew by 45% year-over-year, from 690 to 998
(organic growth, excluding the Jun Group acquisition), underscoring
Verve’s effectiveness in onboarding and scaling high-value
partnerships organically.
- Privacy-First Targeting Leads
Growth: revenue generated on iOS-Apple devices, on which the
majority of end-consumers don’t provide consent for tracking since
the deprecation of Apple’s IDFA (Identifier for Advertising),
surged by 51% compared to the previous year as customers
increasingly turn to Verve’s privacy-first targeting
solutions.
- Full-Screen Video Ads Gain
Traction: Revenue from full-screen video ads grew
year-over-year by 233%, reflecting Verve’s competitive edge in
immersive ad formats.

"We are pleased with our sustained strong performance,
outpacing the market, especially as our early commitment to
privacy-first targeting solutions continues to pay off,"
said Remco Westermann, CEO of Verve. "Privacy in digital
advertising isn’t a passing trend—it’s the industry’s inevitable
destination. As pioneers in this field, our foresight positions us

transition."
