Digitalbox CEO on 2025 outperformance and 2026 growth plans
from Proactive - Interviews for investors · host Proactive Investors
Digitalbox PLC (AIM:DBOX, FRA:RLXB) CEO James Carter talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s 2025 results, highlighting a year of growth despite a mixed media market backdrop. Carter explained that Digitalbox expanded its portfolio to ten operating assets through its “verticals program,” launching new products in targeted editorial spaces. The company delivered a 7% increase in revenue, outperforming broader market trends, while adjusted EBITDA rose by 10%. He noted that social media remains a key driver, with Digitalbox growing its total following by 31% to approximately 27 million users. A major shift in strategy has been the company’s evolving monetisation approach. Carter said: “We grew our platform monetisation by 100% in the past year,” reflecting a stronger focus on platform-based audiences and diversified revenue streams. Digitalbox is also moving beyond pure programmatic advertising, with growing contributions from direct-to-consumer offerings such as paid subscriptions. Looking ahead, the company aims to sustain its momentum through new product launches and potential acquisitions. Carter outlined the ambition “to build ourselves into an entertainment powerhouse,” with upcoming launches including Film Shrine, building on the success of existing brands like Reality Shrine.
