LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Inuvo, Inc. (NYSE American: INUV), an artificial intelligence-driven advertising technology company, announced the retirement of board member Charles D. Morgan and the appointment of Rob Buchner as a Class III Director. The changes to the board took effect on Thursday. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains impressive gross profit margins of nearly 87% and has achieved revenue growth of 11.5% over the last twelve months, despite challenging market conditions.
Charles Morgan, who has been with Inuvo’s Board of Directors since 2009 and is a notable investor in the company, stepped down from his position. Morgan’s tenure at Inuvo was marked by his experience in leading companies such as Acxiom and First Orion. Richard Howe, Chairman and CEO of Inuvo, acknowledged Morgan’s contributions, stating, "His wisdom, vast experience, and sharp decision-making have been instrumental in building Inuvo into the company it is today."
Rob Buchner, the newly appointed board member, brings a wealth of leadership experience from his time at prominent advertising agencies, including CEO and CMO roles at Campbell Mithun and Fallon Worldwide. His background includes restructuring agencies around data-driven marketing, and significant business growth, adding substantial recurring revenue to his previous firms. Buchner, who is currently the Chief Marketing Officer at Covet™, expressed excitement about joining Inuvo’s board, citing the team’s talent and the innovative potential of their AI technology. The appointment comes as the company’s stock has shown strong momentum, with InvestingPro data revealing a significant 49.6% price return over the past six months, while analysts have set price targets ranging from $0.85 to $1.00.
Inuvo specializes in a proprietary and patented AI technology called IntentKey, designed to identify consumer interests in products, services, or brands. This technology distinguishes itself by focusing on the reasons behind consumer interest rather than just identifying the consumers themselves.
The leadership transition comes as Inuvo continues to navigate the evolving landscape of AI in advertising. The company’s press release includes forward-looking statements and acknowledges the risks inherent in such projections. These statements are based on assumptions that may change, and the company has advised investors not to rely solely on these predictions.
