(NYSE American: INUV), a leading provider of marketing technology, powered by its proprietary IntentKey® artificial intelligence (AI) that serves brands and agencies, has announced that it has secured a new $10 million asset-based credit facility to support its continued growth and operations.

This financing demonstrates the confidence our lenders have in Inuvo's business model and future prospects."
