What Aving does

AVING is a privately held B2B exhibition media network operating a multi-language product and business news platform under the Korean parent company NSBS Corporation (엔에스비에스(주)), with operational offices in Henderson/Las Vegas (NV), Seoul, and Bonn. The company specializes in on-the-spot video news reporting from major global exhibitions, holding official media-partnership status with CES Las Vegas (since 2005), IFA Berlin (since 2010), and MWC (Platinum Media Partner, 2008 Macao). It maintains a Global News Network of approximately 779-857 media portals across 53-54 countries and distributes content in five languages (English, Chinese, Korean, German, Japanese), with cumulative reported output of 150,000+ news articles, 1,000,000+ photos, and 10,000+ video news reports. Note that the firmographic record lists a 2017 founding date for the US operating entity KCNN GLOBAL LLC, while the AVING brand and Korean operations trace to 2005.

The core product is AVING.net, a WordPress-based content platform with regional storefronts for the US, Korea, Germany, Japan, and China. Adjacent offerings include AVING TV (YouTube video news channel), AVING 360° (immersive exhibition video coverage), MIK Hot Spot (a Made-in-Korea online exhibition platform launched in 2016 supporting Korean SME global market entry), Press Release Global Package (multi-language PR distribution with translation into Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese), Video News Production services, and a Global Network Reporter recruitment program. The underlying technology stack is fundamentally media-publishing oriented rather than product-software — content distribution via RSS syndication in five languages, third-party video hosting, and a curated network of partner media outlets that amplify paying-client content.

Revenue derives from two primary streams: pay-as-you-go press-release distribution (region-specific perpetual-license pricing of $300-$1,100 per package, with bundled news-site distribution, SEO, translation, and photo/video) and official exhibition media-partnership services (advertising/earned media). Customer segments include companies seeking international product exposure at exhibitions, Korean SMEs and local governments (documented relationships across Seoul, Incheon, Daegu, Daejeon, Gangwon-do, Gwangju, and Gangnam-gu), global exhibition organizers (CES, IFA, MWC), and a downstream network of media partners across 53+ countries. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds.

Direct peers

• TechCrunch: B2B technology news media covering product launches and major industry events including CES. Both operate as English-language tech trade media serving exhibitors, investors, and buyers; AVING differs in geographic focus (APAC + exhibitions) and video-first delivery.
• The Verge: Consumer and prosumer technology news publication with deep CES, IFA, and MWC on-site coverage and video content. Like AVING, it monetizes via a mix of advertising, events, and content syndication to global tech audiences.
• Engadget: Long-running consumer electronics media outlet known for hands-on coverage at CES, IFA, and Mobile World Congress. Highly comparable to AVING in event-driven, video-led tech trade media with global advertising and partnership revenue.
• ZDNet: Global B2B technology publication covering enterprise IT, consumer electronics, and trade shows including CES and MWC. Comparable to AVING in audience (buyers, IT decision-makers) and event-driven content cadence.
• Exhibitor Magazine: Trade publication dedicated to the exhibition and trade show industry, covering CES, IFA, and other major shows from the exhibitor perspective. Closely comparable to AVING's editorial focus on trade shows as the primary content vertical.

Broad incumbents

• Cision / PR Newswire: Largest global press release distribution and PR software platform. Competes directly with AVING's regional press release packages but at much greater scale, broader wire reach, and with enterprise SaaS tooling (CisionOne) layered on top.
• Business Wire: Owned by Berkshire Hathaway, Business Wire is a leading global press release distribution service targeting investor relations and corporate communications. Overlaps with AVING's press release distribution business at the high end of the market.
• GlobeNewswire: International press release distribution network with multilingual reach across North America, Europe, and Asia. Directly competes with AVING's regional press release packages but with larger wire distribution and integrated IR workflows.

Regional players

• Korea IT Times: English-language Korean tech and business publication covering Korean companies and CES/IFA exhibitions. Similar to AVING's bridge role between Korean tech firms and global audiences, but purely editorial rather than press release distribution.

Others

• Makuhari Messe / CES-style organizer media arms: Major exhibition organizers increasingly operate their own media and content platforms (e.g., CES official media, IFA official channels). These are adjacent ecosystem participants whose first-party content strategies directly affect AVING's official media partner value proposition.
