NEW YORK, Oct. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fluent, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLNT), a leading data-driven performance marketing company, announced the launch of Purpose, a mobile app focused on enabling consumer financial decisions and wellness through content and brand discovery. Ari Kassman, an entrepreneur with deep experience building technology companies, will join Fluent to help grow Purpose and develop other community-driven products.

Prior to Fluent, Ari was Co-Founder of Open Mail (now System1) and Founder / Owner of Active Response Group (now Zeta Global).

“Purpose is built around a community of hard-working members striving to grow their savings and more efficiently navigate life’s important decisions,” said Ari Kassman. “Fluent’s ability to cultivate relevant, targeted consumer experiences is an unmatched growth engine for service categories, especially financial wellness.”
