"The audience we reach - the Authenticators - want their content on every screen, at any time, and REVOLT meets that mandate," said REVOLT CEO Keith Clinkscales. "REVOLT is the fastest growing multi-platform, multi-genre network with unparalleled growth across all mediums and showing no signs of slowing down," added Clinkscales.

Through our insights, creative talent, and unique point of view, we make advertisers an invaluable part of our audience's experience," said REVOLT SVP of Sales & Partnerships, Michael Roche. "Our Omnifront is strategically sandwiched between the Upfronts and Newfronts so that both audiences can better understand our multi-platform, technology-driven business model; ultimately attracting brands that are disruptors within their categories," added Roche.

Artist-driven and Culture-based Programming
Continuing to combine the digital and television landscapes, REVOLT is teaming up with Snoop Dogg to bring his immensely popular YouTube show GGN - 1.2 million subscribers - to the network.

REVOLT also revealed that they recently finalized a partnership with ESPN/X Games (Summer X Games 2015 Austin & Winter X Games 2016 Aspen)that furthers the connection between athletes and music - creating authentic programming to build on their platform, in addition to the recent fashion partnership with Milk for MADE Fashion Week.

Technology Bringing Fans to the Front Row

REVOLT has partnered with CAPTURE, a new platform that allows media companies to turn social media users into content collaborators for real-time coverage of events and help power location-based interaction across the network's platforms.
