Description: AREN Arena Holdings October 27, 2025
Arena Group Holdings Inc. (NYSE MKT: AREN) operates a proprietary digital publishing platform that bundles authoring tools, video hosting, social distribution, newsletter services, machine-learning content recommendations, and push-notification technology. The platform powers a network of creator-generated sites-including HubPages, PetHelpful, denGarden, and Fashionista-allowing writers and knowledge-seekers to publish and monetize content in a unified online ecosystem.
Beyond the HubPages network, Arena Group owns and manages several established media brands: TheStreet (financial news and market analysis), The Spun (independent sports coverage), Autoblog (automotive news), Parade (entertainment and lifestyle), and Men’s Journal (gear, travel, health, and culture). These properties collectively generate diversified ad-sales and subscription revenue streams across multiple audience segments.
The company, formerly TheMaven, Inc., rebranded to Arena Group in February 2022 and is headquartered in New York, NY. It operates as a subsidiary of Simplify Inventions, LLC, which provides additional capital and strategic support for growth initiatives.
Recent filings suggest the firm earned roughly $78 million in revenue for FY 2023, a year-over-year increase of about 12%, driven largely by rising digital advertising spend (which the IAB projects to grow ~10% annually) and expanding subscriber bases on TheStreet and Autoblog. User-engagement metrics indicate that TheStreet attracts over 5 million monthly unique visitors, while Autoblog records more than 12 million pageviews per month-both figures that sit comfortably above the median for niche digital publishers.
