As we celebrate the official start of the NFL Season, I’m excited to share that today we announced an exclusive multiyear media partnership with I AM ATHLETE (IAA), a groundbreaking athlete-led media platform founded by six time Pro Bowler, former NFL All-Pro receiver and media trail blazer Brandon Marshall. 🏈⭐️ Together, we are looking forward to creating unique, authentic, and engaging content that will drive growth for Vivid Seats, and IAA’s platforms, while engaging fans and growing our brand awareness through new channels. Keep an eye out for upcoming conversations as Brandon engages with some of the biggest names in sports, music, and pop culture as they discuss the most anticipated games, concerts, and cultural events happening worldwide. 🤩 More on our unique and strategic partnership here: https://lnkd.in/gkcXkMkh Today’s news comes after we recently delivered another strong quarter, representing 20% year-over-year revenue growth, 42% year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA growth, and featuring our highest quarterly orders - ever. 💪 We are halfway through 2024 and our strategic efforts across several key priorities have proven successful. We have seen our loyal base of customers continue to reward us and we are already trending higher than the mix of repeat orders achieved in 2023 (Full Q2 results here: https://lnkd.in/gfeUXe_4 ).
