The company serves brands, agencies, and publishers with over 1,000 software clients generating more than 100k USD annually, processes over 940 billion ad impressions yearly across 2.5 billion connected devices integrated into more than 20,000 apps and covering over 60% of US households, and maintains a global workforce exceeding 1,000 employees across 15+ locations. Verve's main operational presence spans North America (nearly 70% of revenue) and Europe, with key offices in Stockholm, New York, and Berlin; it is registered as a Societas Europaea in Sweden (registration number 517100-0143), lists shares on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market in Stockholm (Ticker: VER) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange Scale segment (Ticker: VRV; ISIN: SE0018538068), and has secured bonds listed on both exchanges including ISIN SE0023848429. Founded in 2012 through the acquisition and turnaround of gamigo AG—a German games publisher that forms part of its remaining content ecosystem supporting ad-tech synergies—the company is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, following a 2023 relocation from Malta to align with Swedish market regulations. In June 2024, Verve Group SE completed a major rebranding from Media and Games Invest SE, approved at the Annual General Meeting, to reflect its full strategic pivot to digital media and ad-tech leadership with the mission "Let’s make media better," emphasizing responsible AI solutions in high-growth channels amid a revenue CAGR of 33% over the past four years to 437 million euros in 2024 at a 30% adjusted EBITDA margin; recent developments include a strategic collaboration with Google Cloud, ongoing share issuances for employee stock options, strong Q3 2025 performance on track for full-year guidance with robust Q4 momentum, and historical transformative acquisitions such as Verve Wireless (2020), KingsIsle and Smaato (2021), LKQD, Beemray, and Match2One (2021), which bolstered its one-stop programmatic platform while shifting media to over 80% of revenue.
