      Maven Rebrands as The Arena Group

      20/9/2021- Maven, Inc. (OTC: MVEN) has changed its name to The Arena Group. It reflects the company’s focus over the past year on strategically building scalable vertical media platforms, called “Arenas,” with a dynamic, centralized technological platform focused on attracting passionate consumers. The company’s reimagined identity brings consumers, brands, publishers, storytellers, and advertisers together around robust digital destinations. 

      Following the promotion of Sports Illustrated CEO Ross Levinsohn to Arena Group CEO at the end of last year, MVEN began concepting a vertical-centric model. A team of experienced executives led by Levinsohn, including COO Andrew Kraft, CMO Jill Marchisotto, CRO Avi Zimak, and President of Platform and Media Rob Barrett, worked against the clock to unite the platform and media organizations into a single entity. This vision has been supported by more than $40 million in capital raised over the past year. By sharpening Arena Group’s focus on its flagship brands, the company saw the chance to cross-pollinate value that was available to publishers within each vertical ecosystem. Results have been encouraging throughout the last year. The digital revenue in the second quarter increased by approximately 91% over the last year. Across all Arena Group properties, recurring subscriptions account for 55% of overall revenue.

      Arena Media Group is focused on developing a premier sports vertical anchored by Sports Illustrated in 2021, and it is implementing a program of publisher acquisitions and content alliances to further enhance its flagship brand. In June, the company acquired sports publisher The Spun under its new management team, reaping the benefits of its focus. 

      Comscore reports that the digital audience for sports properties has grown over 300% over the last year. Since then, Comscore has reported that digital readership has increased even further to over 50 million users in August, up from 42 million users and 207 million page views in July.

      (According to Google Analytics) Arena Group currently reaches over 120 million consumers across all owned, licensed, and integrated partner properties. A total of 17 partner sites that are anchored by TheStreet are applying the same formula that made its sports vertical a success. During TheStreet’s current executive team’s tenure, the company has seen its subscription business grow by over 36%.
