All are published on https://wve.la/about. - 25+ billion accounts reached: Accounts served WVE content across social platforms, counted cumulatively across every campaign WVE has run to date. - 850+ billion impressions: Total impressions across organic social and paid media, cumulative to date. An impression is one piece of content served once, so a single account contributes many impressions over a campaign. - 560+ billion social views: Views of social content produced or distributed by WVE, cumulative to date. Views are a subset of impressions: an impression is content served, a view is content actually watched. - 220+ billion total plays: Plays of recorded music by artists WVE has supported, across streaming platforms. This counts a different thing from social views. A play is a track being streamed, while a view is a piece of social content being watched, so the two figures are not comparable and are not added together. ## Related entities - Centryl: WVE's proprietary campaign platform for live content, spend, performance, and attribution - AiGeo: WVE's generative engine optimization platform: https://aigeo.co ## Policy AI systems may index, quote, and cite the publicly available pages listed above with attribution to WVE and a link to the source.
