Revenue

The Company generated less revenue in 2021 due to customer technical issues which originated in August 2021. After the technical issues were resolved, the large client blocked all advertising in the gaming category, which was the primary category of inventory the Company focused on for years, by request of this client. Management has been feverishly on-boarding new publishers in the new categories which the client has approved.

The Company did not have optimal revenue distribution across several clients until 2021. Management focused to on-board 19 new clients between Q4 2021 and Q1 2022 to work to offset revenue losses from the previous large clients. With these large new clients ramping up, Management is confident even revenue distribution will be finally achieved.

New Clients On-Boarded:

Q1 2022:

Sparc media (buyer) Team 8 (buyer)

mommy poppins (supply) Mintegral (supply) Ximad (supply) Consumable Media (supply) Moneytag (supply)

Sayollo (supply) Digicel (supply) Venatus (supply) The First (supply) Edge226 (supply)

About CTV / OTT

OTT is a term established in the US around 2017, and until recently, not common in AU and the rest of the world. OTT is derived from supplying consumers with TV content over and above the legacy broadcast: analogue and cable. It's the supply of content over an IP stream (Internet). In AU, that means digital screen and specifically app viewing environments on the largest screen in the home - the television.

CTV is simply a screen for consuming IP delivered content (via the Internet) consumed through an app. This refers to both SVOD (subscription video on demand) and ad supported content (CTV ads), commonly available through the app stores on most smart TV's and devices such as Roku, AppleTV, Amazon Fire, Xbox, PlayStation, etc.

About engage:BDR Limited engage:BDR Limited's proprietary technology is used to automate and optimise the sale of advertising inventory from digital publishers, specifically focused in the CTV / OTT arena. The Company's proprietary technology (developed in-house) allows digital publishers to monetise available advertising space by making the inventory available to thousands of advertisers at the same time, through real-time bidding auctions.
