The Creators List launched to help brands connect with top creators in Cannes. The curated directory launched by Tubefilter, Comscore, Whalar Group and Gospel Stats gives brands, agencies, and media a centralized resource for meeting creators on the Croisette during the festival. RESTON, Va., June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Tubefilter, Comscore, Whaler Group and Gospel Stats today announced the launch of The Creators List, an independent, curated directory of more than 200 of the world's top creators expected to attend the Cannes Lions festival later this month. The Creators List features a selection of creators across entertainment, lifestyle, sports, culture, business and digital media. Developed as a practical resource for brands, agencies, platforms and media, it's designed to help the industry better understand which creators will be on the ground in Cannes, how they are building audiences, and how brands can connect with them during one of the advertising industry's top global gatherings. The launch comes as the creator economy's role in today's media mix is supported by modern measurement and audience intelligence from Comscore to help buyers evaluate their investments alongside traditional advertising spends. Comscore will also partner with Tubefilter for a Creator TV Roundtable in Cannes on June 23 to move the discussion beyond attention to how brands can make informed decisions about where to place their time, attention and budgets with highly engaged creator communities that show up consistently. "Cannes has become one of the most important opportunities for brands and creators to meet and The Creators List helps complete the connection," said Drew Baldwin, CEO at Tubefilter and Managing Partner at Gospel Stats. "The Creators List gives brands, agencies and media a curated view of the creators shaping the conversation at Cannes, and a more practical way to turn interest in the creator economy into real connections." "Creators are now a core part of how brands reach and engage audiences, but the industry is asking for more clarity, context and measurement around those partnerships," said Steve Bagdasarian, Chief Commercial Officer at Comscore. "The Creators List helps fast track those conversations and creates a foundation for smarter, more actionable collaboration." Neil Waller, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Whalar Group said: "This list celebrates the individuals showing up at Cannes not just as attendees, but as business leaders, storytellers, and cultural architects. At Whalar Group, Creators are at the heart of everything we do, and we're proud to help spotlight the talent driving the future of our industry." The list will continue to be updated as Cannes approaches and as additional creators are confirmed.

Comscore announces appointment of Matt McLaughlin as Chief Executive Officer. Jon Carpenter to remain as Senior Advisor to the Board and CEO Global business leader Stuart Frankel to join the Board Investor call to be held on June 10, 2026 RESTON, Va., May 28, 2026 - Comscore, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOR), a trusted partner for planning, transacting and evaluating media across platforms, today announced the appointment of Matt McLaughlin as Chief Executive Officer of the company, effective immediately. Jon Carpenter will transition from his role as CEO and will continue to support the company as a senior advisor to the Board of Directors and CEO until October 2026. In connection with the leadership transition, industry leader Stuart Frankel will join the company's Board of Directors, filling the seat previously held by Mr. Carpenter. Mr. McLaughlin brings extensive leadership experience across the digital advertising and measurement space, with a strong track record of driving growth and operational excellence. He previously served as Chief Operating Officer of DoubleVerify, where he directed that company's product, engineering and sales operations and managed over half of its employees. Mr. McLaughlin currently serves on Comscore's Board of Directors and is also a significant common stockholder of the company, giving him deep familiarity with the business, its strategy and its long-term opportunities. "Matt brings a unique combination of strategic insight, operational leadership and deep expertise in the digital advertising and measurement ecosystem," said David Kline, Chairman of the Board of Comscore. "Through his Board service and longstanding investment in the company, he already has a strong understanding of the business, our mission and the opportunities ahead. We are excited to welcome him into this leadership role as we move into our next phase of growth." During his tenure as CEO (and previously as CFO) of Comscore, Mr. Carpenter played a critical role in reshaping and strengthening the company. He led efforts to streamline Comscore's capital structure and operations, strengthen the balance sheet and simplify the business - culminating in the divestiture of Comscore Movies and the elimination of $40 million in senior debt on May 27, 2026. "Jon's impact on this company has been invaluable," said Mr. Kline. "He helped drive significant operational, financial and strategic progress across the organization, while also bringing people together around a common purpose. We are deeply grateful for his leadership and dedication to Comscore's success, and we are pleased that he will continue supporting the company during this transition." Mr. McLaughlin added, "I am honored to step into the role of CEO at such an important time for Comscore. Jon has helped build a foundation for the business, and I look forward to working with the team to drive meaningful growth and execute on our strategic priorities." Comscore further announced the appointment of Stuart Frankel to its Board of Directors. Mr. Frankel brings extensive operating and leadership experience in advertising technology, data analytics and Artificial Intelligence. He is currently a Managing Director of 10X CEO, an advisory and coaching firm for CEOs of high-growth venture and PE-backed technology companies. Earlier in his career, Mr. Frankel was the CEO and co-founder of Narrative Science, a generative AI company acquired by Salesforce in 2021, and was a member of the senior leadership team at DoubleClick, an advertising technology company acquired by Google. "We are very pleased to welcome Stuart to Comscore," said Mr. McLaughlin. "His deep expertise in ad tech and Artificial Intelligence, combined with his experience helping technology companies scale and execute, will provide valuable perspective as we continue to advance our strategy and grow the business." Investor Conference Call Information Comscore will host a conference call at 5:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, during which Mr. McLaughlin and other members of management will discuss the company's strategic priorities, plans for the business, and outlook for the remainder of 2026.
