The Arena Group (AREN), publisher of Sports Illustrated Media Group and parent of technology-powered media properties including TheStreet, reports it posted the largest overall audience in its history in January, based on Comscore data.
The Arena Group properties saw more than 112 million unique visitors for the month, moving the company up to No. 34 in the U.S. rankings, nearly 60 places higher that of mid-2020, the company said in a statement.
The company's digital properties now reach nearly 40% of all U.S. adults over age 18. And Sports Illustrated Media Group now reaches more than 92 million unique visitors, up more than 35% in January from December
“The Arena Group continues to be one of the top digital publishers, and the successes of both SI and TheStreet stand as powerful testaments to the strength of our editorial and audience development strategies,” said Ross Levinsohn, Chief Executive of The Arena Group.
“We have proven our ability to expand the development and delivery of compelling content that resonates with a broad audience while nurturing meaningful relationships with our readers across our diversified verticals.”
The Sports Illustrated group, which includes SI.com, The Spun, FanNation, The Hockey News, Morning Read and Athlon Sports, is now No. 4 in the sports category, according to Comscore.
TheStreet Finance Group in January recorded 14.3 million unique visitors, including 6.8 million new active users. The unique visitors were almost double the 7.4 million posted for December.
The data represent just some of The Arena Group's latest accomplishments.
In February, The Arena Group's shares were listed on the NYSE American Exchange, and the company raised $30 million of new capital. And a deal to acquire AMG/Parade followed last June's acquisition of The Spun.
