The Arena Group Holdings Inc has had its challenges over the last few years, but appears to be on some kind of track. 

“In 2024, we built a strong foundation with Athlon Sports," says Paul Edmondson, CEO of Arena Group. "This started with premium content, expanding our print products at newsstands and growing our social footprint. We then coupled this with what we call ‘competitive publishing’ to expand our reach.”

For those who don’t know, competitive publishing is “a new model designed for 24/7 breaking news coverage where multiple talented teams compete,” Edmondson says. The model was launched on Men’s Journal in Q1 2025 and at Parade and The Street in Q2.  

Parade and Parade Pets drew more than 53 million average monthly digital users and 74 million average monthly page views (up 6% vs Q3 2024). And the financial brand delivered 36 million average page views in Q4, a 1% increase over Q3 2024.
