Based out of Gliwice, Poland, FlightScope Services will be fully incorporated into the IMG ARENA offering under the continued oversight of Jacek Gronek and Wojtek Szumilas, who will join IMG ARENA, along with approximately 160 employees. Gronek joins the IMG ARENA leadership team as VP Rightsholder Services. Szumilas is Head of Technology.

It will enable us to leverage our knowledge, strengths and resources to deliver an enhanced range of best-in-class services and technologies across multiple sports.”
IMG ARENA has worked extensively with FlightScope Services since 2013. The two organisations co-developed the ground-breaking data collection system used by IMG ARENA to record the data from every shot played on the European Tour, through tracking and marking the ball to within millimetres of its position on the course. The state-of-the-art, live scoring capture system has delivered a wealth of previously inaccessible data and powered a range of exciting new live betting markets.
The companies also partner on producing live streaming and data collection across ATP Tour events.

PropellerAds rolls out Interactive Ads format aimed at higher-intent clicks
PropellerAds has launched Interactive Ads, a new ad format the company says is designed to improve click quality and increase conversion rates by adding a brief interaction before users reach an advertiser’s landing page.
Interactive Ads require users to complete a lightweight action—such as swiping, selecting, taking a mini quiz, or clicking a confirmation—before continuing. PropellerAds positions this “engagement step” as a filter for high-intent users, with the aim of reducing accidental clicks and low-interest traffic that can dilute campaign performance.
The company said the format is designed to be activated within existing campaign workflows and does not require additional creative assets or technical development. PropellerAds also said its platform automatically selects the interaction type based on advertiser goals and user characteristics.
PropellerAds suggested the format can be used alongside other ad approaches in a broader funnel—for example, using Social Commerce to generate initial traffic and Interactive Ads to qualify users before conversion.
Separately, PropellerAds said it was featured in G2’s Summer Report, which the software marketplace compiles using verified customer reviews, market presence, and user feedback.
