Kidoz Introduces Prado: Mobile In-App Technology that Reaches Over 1 Billion Monthly Active Users

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 10, 2023 / Kidoz Inc. (TSXV:KIDZ) (the "Company"), mobile AdTech developer and owner of the market-leading Kidoz Contextual Ad Network (www.kidoz.net) and the Kidoz Publisher SDK, announced today the launch of Prado (www.prado.co), a wholly owned division led by Eldad Ben Tora, Kidoz's co-founder, as President.

Prado is a cutting-edge mobile advertising platform, developed by Kidoz, that can access hundreds of thousands of the world's most famous apps and reach over a billion monthly active users. Kidoz software engineers have now completed the challenging transformation of their market leading kid safe Ad Network to also reach the significantly larger digital ad market of teens, families, and audiences over 13 years old whilst not compromising the safety of our existing kids marketplace. The Prado technology plus our internal controls will ensure that no inappropriate advertisements will be served to children and thereby compromise kids safety.

Prado connects brands with targeted digital audiences inside their favorite games and apps.

With the global mobile games market predicted to reach a massive $218.7B in 2024, advertisers are looking to leverage gaming audiences with effective and efficient targeting capabilities. Prado meets those needs by reaching teen, parent, and grown-up audiences across the world's top apps. The Prado technology creates a mobile SSP (Supply-side Platform), DSP (Demand-side Platform) and Ad Exchange. Prado makes in-app targeting more effective by simplifying the process across a connected platform. When connected to the Prado programmatic system, ad buyers gain direct access to the highest performance and premium inventory available in the in-app market.

"We're thrilled to announce the launch of Prado and Eldad Ben Tora's appointment as President of the Prado" said Jason Williams, CEO of Kidoz. "With Eldad's experience and leadership combined with Prado's strong technical and commercial position, we believe this new division will result in rapid growth and success." added Williams.

"Prado is an exciting business unit for Kidoz that comes after years of requests from advertisers to reach not just children, but parents and families as well," said Eldad Ben Tora, Prado President. "Using advanced targeting capabilities and the incredible reach our systems have created, advertisers can now engage with the complete family. Prado has created a unique gateway into in-app media and the scale is incredible. In America alone over 220 million people are playing mobile games and Prado can reach them. The opportunity for advertisers to build their brands and secure new customers using the Prado system is here. We have created a new commercial strategy to bring Prado to market and expect our efforts in 2023 to lay the foundation for a powerful new division and revenue source in the Kidoz organization."

Management believes that the Company's commercial strategy and proprietary stack of advertising technology, combined with the dominance of mobile entertainment as consumers' preferred choice, will have a profound effect on its financial results in the years to come. Management is pleased with the Company's strong growth in 2022 despite the ongoing weakness in the wider advertising market which we expect to continue through the first half of fiscal 2023. Early macro indicators show a return to normalcy expected to commence in the second half of fiscal 2023 and as a result management believes that our growth in 2022 will place the Company in a strong position to benefit and that the Company's full fiscal 2023 results will be greater than fiscal 2022.
