Information in this presentation is considered confidential and proprietary to Inuvo and should not be disclosed or shared with others without Inuvo’s permission. Incumbent Media / AdTech companies are using third- party cookie IDs to persistently track and target audiences. Less than 33% of all media available remains targetable this way. Incumbent Media / AdTech companies are proposing to use first-party cookie IDs to track and target audiences. Less than 3% of all media available is targetable this way. Media / AdTech companies require IP address to link devices. This linkage significantly hinders the ability to respond to ad opportunities within 7ms and browsers are now beginning to mask IP address. Consumers, in record numbers, are adopting VPN and incognito browsing solutions that eliminate the ability to identify and target consumers using their personal data. An Opportunity to Leapfrog Competitors Using technology & services designed around targeting people is obsolete. Apple is now blocking all the identity mechanisms (cookies, IP and eMail addresses) "The demise of third-party cookies and identifiers. How this big shift will threaten the U.S. digital advertising industry – and compel its transformation."

Inuvo Proprietary AI Optimizes Media JIT across Channels: • Uses historical spend within each individual channel + the success metric being optimized (e.g., ROAS) • Finds, isolates, and automatically creates rule sets that isolate patterns • Confidently exposes these patterns that define the contribution of each channel • Allows for optimization of spend across channels to maximize success metric Example: You spend $1M/month across TikTok, Facebook, AdWords, Cable TV, Connected TV, Display and Online Video. The AI recommends a distribution of spend optimized at 5%, 20%, 30%, 10%, 20%, 10% & 5%. Audience Discovery, Targeting & Attribution The cornerstone of online advertising is crumbling along with the cookie. Example: You sell audio-based sleep aids. Among the many potential audiences, the AI finds & targets pug owners because their notorious breathing difficulties tend to keep owners awake at night. Inuvo Proprietary Generative AI Finds and Actions Audiences: • Finds audiences base on why not who is interested in product, service or brand. • Trained on the collective wisdom of humanity as represented by the collective content of the internet - A Large Language Model • Instantly understands the association between every concept on a page with every other concept that exists • Each client has its own custom AI capable of discovering its audiences. No more competing with everyone else for a finite list of cookie IDs.
