“These latest digital media ratings demonstrate
the unparalleled reach of our property in two important global
markets,” commented Adrian Montgomery, CEO of Enthusiast

in the United States, Enthusiast Gaming is becoming the go-to
destination for global brands looking to reach Gen Z and
Millennials.”

Comscore Media Metrix data utilized by the Company relating to
audiences in the United States. The Company utilizes Comscore’s
data in its direct sales process.
