During periods of uncertainty, marketers re-evaluate their budgets and are even more focused on finding the best-performing advertising methods.

Throughout the quarter, we continued driving efficiency in our business through consolidation and a reduction of operating expenses which led to a $2.2 million year-over-year reduction in SG&A. This will remain a priority for us throughout 2023.”
