TNL Mediagene reports active first half with expansion initiatives

NEW YORK/TOKYO - Digital media company TNL Mediagene (NASDAQ:TNMG), currently valued at $12.9 million, reported multiple growth initiatives during the first half of 2025, according to a shareholder letter released Tuesday.

The Tokyo-based company, which went public on NASDAQ in December 2024, highlighted its expansion into new language markets, AI technology implementation, and content commerce partnerships as key achievements. Despite posting 35% revenue growth in the last twelve months, InvestingPro analysis indicates the company is quickly burning through cash with short-term obligations exceeding liquid assets.

The firm implemented new AI technology including its Ad2 AI Agent in March, which combines AI audience targeting and creative optimization tools to enhance advertising performance. The company also deployed AI-powered content management systems to improve editorial efficiency.

In content commerce, TNL Mediagene launched a purchase-type crowdfunding service in Japan, initiated a TikTok Shop strategy, and formed a partnership with Taiwan e-commerce platform PChome.

The company made several leadership changes, appointing Aya Miyake as Chief Governance Officer and Carly Ma as Chief Human Resources Officer. It also promoted several editors to lead its media properties.

Research coverage of TNL Mediagene was initiated by The Benchmark Company in May and Sidoti & Company in July. The company co-hosted the 2025 Generative AI Conference in May, which attracted approximately 1,000 in-person and 2,000 virtual attendees.

TNL Mediagene plans to release its financial results for the first half of 2025 in August, according to the shareholder letter.

The company was formed in May 2023 through the merger of Taiwan’s The News Lens Co. and Japan’s Mediagene Inc., and operates media brands in Japanese, Chinese, and English.
