Cineverse’s sales and partnership teams are in active conversations to expand the network significantly throughout 2024.

The network will expand upon the highly engaged, enthusiast fan bases across popular genres – from anime and Asian content to family programming, horror, and indie film, to IP-focused channels featuring pop culture icons from Bob Ross to Sid and Marty Krofft.

These capabilities are available immediately.

New Leadership – To lead these new efforts, Terry City, an industry veteran with more than 20 years of experience building and leading sales and partnerships divisions, has joined as Senior Vice President and Head of Cineverse 360. City has extensive experience in the ad landscape, with executive roles at Variety, Yahoo Entertainment, The Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, Tumblr and most recently Tastemade. In addition, City is the co-founder of Steel Titan Entertainment, producers of the Emmy Award winning ESPN: 30 for 30 film, Playing for the Mob. City is also an advisor to many startups and entrepreneurs as well as being a mentor to college students and young industry professionals. City will expand the advertising team significantly over the next quarter to provide expanded ad vertical coverage nationally.

“With our unique ability to execute 360-degree programs for our clients, bring exclusive access to audiences of passionate fans across several popular genres – fans that are not available anywhere else – and offer brands the ability to get in early on a number of our new and soon-to-debut FAST channels we are positioned stronger than ever to take advantage of industry trends,” said City.  “We have taken control of more inventory and put the resources behind brand partnerships to do creative, custom sponsorships, giving us the capacity to achieve significant growth.”

Additionally, Cineverse has brought on Andrew Baritz, and Eventually A Castle where he is principal, to oversee C360 ad operations and strategy. Baritz will focus on launching The Cineverse Audience Network, to include developing new advertising products, audience targeting capabilities, and data activation, as well as overseeing ad operations and optimization of the overall 360 business.

Case Study: Bloody Disgusting – One example of how well this 360-degree approach is already working for Cineverse can be seen by its horror vertical, Bloody Disgusting.  The top digital horror brand for approximately two decades, Bloody Disgusting is in a unique position to offer advertisers access to a rabid fan-base across several touchpoints including its website, social channels, live events, podcast network, and CTV via the fastest-growing horror streaming service, SCREAMBOX. This has translated to success with advertisers – not to mention extraordinary traction launching franchise hits, such as cult slasher favorite, Terrifier 2.

In 2023, Bloody Disgusting saw its ad revenue increase 11% vs. 2022 driven by work with Hollywood studios such as A24, Neon, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Studios, and Warner Bros. to develop 360-degree campaigns to support key horror titles throughout the year, as well as brands in other categories, such as Alamo Drafthouse, Jack in the Box and Spirit Halloween.  Brands like these are taking advantage of Bloody Disgusting’s unique access to horror enthusiasts in various ways, ranging from sold-out live screenings to the creation of custom content, display and CTV advertising, authentic branded podcast episodes (cross-promoted throughout the podcast network) and more.

Upfront Presentations and Events – Cineverse 360 will be participating in a variety of industry events and presentations this spring. Interested brands, agencies, and publishers can receive updates by request at C360@cineverse.com.

Strategic collaboration helps software companies bring cutting-edge commercial technology to the U.S. Government faster through Microsoft Azure Government Cloud

NEW YORK and WASHINGTON, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Knox Systems (Knox), the largest, longest-running federal managed cloud, today announced a collaboration with Microsoft to help commercial software companies deploy secure, mission-ready solutions on Microsoft Azure Government Cloud for U.S. Government customers.

As demand for modern AI, cybersecurity, data, and enterprise software continues to grow across the public sector, the partnership is designed to reduce the barriers that have historically prevented government agencies from accessing the same technologies already transforming the commercial market.

Knox enables software providers to achieve production-ready federal cloud environments in as little as 90 days through its pre-authorized Federal Managed Cloud. By inheriting a substantial portion of required security controls, companies can reduce the time, effort, cost, and compliance burden associated with deploying compliant government cloud solutions. Combined with Microsoft Azure’s trusted government cloud platform, the collaboration provides an accelerated path for innovative software companies seeking to serve federal civilian and defense customers.

“America’s greatest technology companies shouldn’t spend years navigating compliance before they can help solve government missions,” said Irina Denisenko, CEO of Knox Systems. “Microsoft has built one of the world’s most trusted cloud platforms for government. Knox removes the operational barriers that can keep innovative software companies from deploying secure, compliant solutions on Azure Government. Together, we’re making it dramatically faster for agencies to access the technologies they need, securely, compliantly, and at mission speed.”

The collaboration strengthens Microsoft’s ecosystem for independent software vendors (ISVs) pursuing government opportunities while expanding the pathway for AI-native, cybersecurity, enterprise software, and critical infrastructure companies to bring production workloads to Azure.

“Microsoft is committed to helping software companies innovate for government while meeting the highest standards for security and compliance,” said Jamie Harper, VP, Defense Industrial Base, Microsoft. “Our collaboration with Knox provides organizations with an accelerated path to deploy innovative solutions on Microsoft Azure Government Cloud, helping government agencies gain faster access to the technologies that support critical missions.”

Knox currently operates one of the industry’s largest FedRAMP-authorized managed cloud environments, supporting more than 70 software companies and maintaining 16 US Federal and Department of War Authorizations to Operate (ATOs). Customers including Adobe, Armis, Celonis, BigID, and other leading software providers rely on Knox to bring commercial innovation to government faster while maintaining rigorous security standards.

As AI adoption accelerates across government, the partnership reflects a shared commitment to ensuring agencies can securely leverage the same cutting-edge technologies already powering the commercial economy.

About Knox Systems

Knox Systems operates the largest managed federal cloud, trusted by top agencies and partners across defense and civilian sectors. Built for speed, resilience, and compliance, Knox delivers FedRAMP authorization in 90 days – turning the biggest bottleneck in government IT into the fastest path to modernization.
