Experienced kids advertising executive strengthens direct-to-brand strategy as Company provides business update
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 10, 2026 / Kidoz Inc. (TSXV:KDOZ)(OTCQB:KDOZF) (the "Company"), a global AdTech platform delivering safe mobile gamer engagement at scale, today announced the appointment of John Nolie as Vice President of Sales, North America, as part of its continued focus on accelerating direct-to-brand revenue across the region.
Mr. Nolie brings deep experience across advertising, media, entertainment, and technology, with specific category expertise in kids and family privacy and compliance, including COPPA, CARU, CCPA, and GDPR-K. He previously co-founded and led battery POP, a kids-focused digital studio and agency, and has worked extensively across gaming, OTT, influencer, and brand sponsorships. His background includes building long-term brand and agency relationships, delivering compliant, high-impact campaigns for leading advertisers.
Management believes Mr. Nolie's experience and domain expertise further strengthen Kidoz's ability to expand direct brand partnerships and capitalize on growing demand for compliant, privacy-first advertising solutions within the kids and family segment.
"Kidoz has been a long-time strategic partner and I've had the pleasure of working closely with the team for several years," said John Nolie, Vice President of Sales, North America at Kidoz Inc. "I'm excited to formally join the organization at a time when privacy-first, COPPA-certified solutions are more critical than ever. With Kidoz's strong position in the kids and family ecosystem, industry-leading ad technology, and top-tier creative services, I see a significant opportunity to deepen brand partnerships and drive meaningful growth."
"We are thrilled to welcome John to the Kidoz team," said Jason Williams, CEO of Kidoz Inc. "As brands increasingly look for scalable, compliant solutions, John's deep experience in the kids and family market strengthens our ability to accelerate growth in North America and capitalize on the opportunities we see ahead in 2026."
As part of this appointment, Kidoz also provided a brief update on recent business developments. The Company continues to see strong momentum across its kids-safe advertising platform, supported by increasing regulatory scrutiny, brand safety requirements, and demand for privacy-by-design solutions.
Notably, the same underlying technology that supports Kidoz's core kids business is also available for privacy-first advertising across broader age segments within mobile gaming via Kidoz Inc.'s non-child network, Prado.
Kidoz recently increased capital markets visibility through participation in the DealFlow Discovery Conference and the release of a CEO interview with Small Cap Discoveries, highlighting the Company's strategy, privacy-first infrastructure, and positioning ahead of upcoming full-year financial reporting. The Company also continues to see adoption of its Kidoz Privacy Shield, a privacy-by-design advertising infrastructure certified under PRIVO's FTC-approved COPPA Safe Harbor and awarded the GDPR Kids Privacy Assured Shield, supporting compliant, scalable mobile advertising without reliance on personal identifiers.
Management believes these developments, combined with the appointment of Mr. Nolie, further align the Company's commercial execution with its strategic focus on compliant growth, trusted brand relationships, and long-term value creation.
