VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 13, 2024 /CNW/ – East Side Games Group (TSX: EAGR) (OTC: EAGRF) (“ESGG” or the “Company”), today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2024. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars on an IFRS basis unless otherwise indicated.

The Company is pleased to announce its Q2 results with a revenue of $20.5 million and adjusted EBITDA of $2.5 million, a 12% margin. YTD revenue is $41.3M with adjusted EBITDA of $6.6M. This performance underscores the company’s commitment to consistent performance and positive cash flow while investing heavily in our future titles.

ESGG has demonstrated a robust focus on sustaining the success of its long-tail games while strategically investing in new launches across both idle and match games. Significant investments were made in enhancing existing titles, notably Bud Farm: Munchie Match, which continued to excel as ESGG’s flagship match game. This title saw a nearly 50% increase in average topline revenue over the quarter, highlighting the growing importance of match games to ESGG’s future revenue streams. ESGG allocated approx. $5.7M towards user acquisition, a $900k increase over Q1. Much of this was directed towards match games, while successfully maintaining payback window targets for these titles. Despite this extra $900k investment into future quarters and spending $138k through the company’s NCIB in Q2, the cash balance increased to $7.6M.

The successful launch of Cheech and Chong’s: Kush Kingdom in Q2 marks ESGG’s second entry into the match game market. Early metrics are meeting or surpassing those of Bud Farm: Munchie Match. This repeatable success in the puzzle genre reinforces ESGG’s trajectory toward becoming a leading industry player in Match 3 games.

Another notable recent achievement was the historic brand crossover event between Star Trek Lower Decks: Mobile and Doctor Who: Lost in Time. This epic collaboration resulted in ESGG’s highest revenue day since the end of the pandemic lockdowns and set a new record for Doctor Who: Lost in Time. The event generated substantial excitement on social media, showcasing strong engagement and interest from our community. Encouraged by this success, ESGG is already planning additional brand crossover events within its diverse portfolio of titles.

Looking ahead to Q3, ESGG is excited about the worldwide launch of POWER RANGERS MIGHTY FORCE, which has shown promising early numbers. Additionally, the company is thrilled to announce its second collaboration with World of Wonder. This partnership will focus on an upcoming mobile game inspired by the popular show RuPaul’s Drag Race. ESGG’s first game in collaboration with WOW, RuPaul’s Drag Race Superstar, launched in October 2021, remains the studio’s top-grossing game with over 4.4M installs.

“Our team delivered another strong quarter with continued stability through the first half of the year. We grow stronger every quarter as we increase our cash balance, diversify our portfolio, invest heavily in our future, and, most importantly, build a strong base of knowledge and experience, which will allow us to dominate new genres with exceptional IP game launches,” said Jason Bailey, CEO of East Side Games Group.

Saledock Gives Celerant ONE Retailers One Place to Market, Message and Manage Every Customer Conversation

CES gives UK retailers a central marketing hub connected to live sales data.

KINGSTON UPON HULL, England, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Saledock, a Celerant company, today launched Customer Engagement Suite (CES) for Celerant ONE, giving UK retailers a central hub for email marketing, SMS, social media, reputation management and every customer conversation, from website live chat to WhatsApp messages.

Because CES connects in real time to Celerant ONE’s ePOS and eCommerce, retailers can automate targeted, personalised messages based on what customers do in-store and online, using the customer, sales, and product information already in their system.

Marketing That Knows What Your Customers Bought

Most independent retailers manage customer communication across a patchwork of tools: one for email, another for text messages, a social media scheduler, review sites, a WhatsApp inbox and a separate live chat on their website. None of those tools know what a customer bought last week, so campaigns stay generic and staff waste time exporting lists and copying product details between systems.

CES closes that gap. It sits inside Celerant ONE and draws directly on the data retailers already have, including customer records, in-store and online sales history, and product images and information. The result is marketing that reflects real buying behaviour, built and sent from the same platform the retailer uses to run the shop.

How It Works

Retailers can set up automated workflows triggered by what happens at the till or on their website, and get as creative as they like. A workflow might thank a customer after their first purchase, follow up with shoppers who bought a particular brand or category, or win back customers who haven’t visited in a while, by email or SMS. Once it’s set, it runs in the background.

For retailers who don’t want to build workflows from scratch, a built-in AI agent can create them, so even a small team can put automated marketing to work.

Building a campaign is faster too. Product images and descriptions come straight from Celerant ONE, so there’s no need to recreate content that already exists in the catalogue.

With CES, Celerant ONE retailers can:

Automate email and SMS campaigns based on in-store and online purchase activityLet the built-in AI agent build workflows for themAnswer website live chat and WhatsApp messages from a single inboxSchedule posts and engage with followers across Facebook, Instagram, and their other social channelsMonitor and respond to customer reviews to protect their reputationReduce the number of separate marketing and messaging tools they pay for and manage

“Retailers already own their most valuable marketing asset, which is their customer and sales data,” said Michele Salerno, Chief Growth Officer at Celerant Technology. “The problem is that data usually sits in one system while their email, texts, reviews, and social media live somewhere else. CES puts all of it in one place and connects it to every sale, so a retailer can send a message that’s actually relevant to that customer without exporting a list or logging into a handful of different tools.”

“Running a shop leaves very little time for marketing, and jumping between different apps to do it doesn’t help,” said Layla Gladwin, Managing Director of Saledock. “With CES, everything a retailer needs to talk to their customers is inside Celerant ONE and connected to what’s happening at the till and online. Set up a workflow once, or let the AI agent build it for you, and it keeps working while you get on with serving customers.”

Availability

Customer Engagement Suite is available now as an optional add-on for Celerant ONE retailers. Existing Celerant ONE retailers can contact their Saledock account representative to get started. Retailers considering new ePOS and eCommerce software can request a Celerant ONE demonstration to see CES and the complete platform at [https://www.saledock.com/customer-enagagement-suite/]
