Dianomi (LSE:DNM), the UK-based native digital advertising specialist, has returned to top-line growth after reporting a 2% year-on-year rise in first-half revenue to £13.40 million, up from £13.2 million in the same period last year. On a constant-currency basis, the increase was steeper at 4.5%.
Gross margin strengthened to 28.9% over the six months, feeding through to a higher gross profit and a narrower EBITDA loss
The improvement was underpinned by widened partnerships with CNN News and Associated Press, both of which started generating revenue from the second quarter of 2026.
Dianomi also signed up 67 new premium advertisers in the half, a 56% jump on the prior year. During the period the group rolled out Dianomi Interactive and put money behind AI-powered tools, extending the range of products it takes to market.
Momentum has carried into the second half, with the company reporting that revenue across July and August was 14% higher year-on-year.
Management cautioned that hesitant decision-making among advertisers, alongside structural shifts in the sector, will remain a headwind. Even so, Dianomi said it is well placed to capitalise on opportunities as the digital advertising landscape continues to change.
