Summary

Industry: Digital Media
Solutions Used: Revenue-Based Finance to gain upfront access to future predictable digital platform revenues from Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat, TikTok, and Amazon.
Results: Secured a €2.5 million funding facility to scale operations, expand revenue streams, and support future acquisitions.

Discover how Financefair’s tailored funding solutions enabled Joe Media Group to scale operations, diversify revenue streams, and accelerate their acquisition strategy.
By accessing 20% of their annual recurring revenue (ARR) from digital advertising today, they also gained the ability to draw down additional funds as these revenues grow.

“In a rapidly evolving media landscape, having the right funding strategy is critical. Financefair’s non-dilutive funding has enabled us to scale while retaining full control over our vision and intellectual property. Traditional funding sources were simply not fit for purpose in terms of speed, commercial fit, or recognising the strength or value of our predictable recurring revenue streams.” – John Quinlan, CEO of JMG
