SAN FRANCISCO, May 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MediaGo, the global intelligent advertising platform, has been recognized with two technology awards at the 24th Annual American Business Awards® (The Stevie® Awards). MediaGo's newly upgraded smart bidding product, SmartBid 3.0, secured Bronze Stevie® Awards in two major categories: "Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning Solution – Other" and "Technology Innovation of the Year – Software."
Widely considered the premier business awards in the United States, the American Business Awards® recognize excellence across multiple areas, including technology innovation, product development, and customer service. This marks the fourth consecutive year that MediaGo has been honored by the program, underscoring its continued investment and progress in deep learning and programmatic advertising technology.
Today's performance marketing industry continues to face three structural challenges: inefficient campaign cold starts, skyrocketing costs during scaling, and overall performance instability. Traditional bidding systems rely heavily on reactive adjustments, making it difficult to balance scale and efficiency across the open web. Powered by deep learning, MediaGo's upgraded SmartBid 3.0 tackles these hurdles through proactive exploration, global learning, and multi-dimensional optimization. The platform has proven its ability to scale ad spend by 58% while strictly maintaining CPA overflow within 1.15, enabling advertisers to achieve rapid scaling, stable conversions, and strict cost control in highly competitive markets.
Judges of this year's American Business Awards® commended SmartBid 3.0, highlighting its significance in addressing core industry challenges. One judge commented: "SmartBid 3.0 represents a substantial technological advancement in programmatic advertising. It effectively addresses two fundamental issues in open web bidding systems: inefficient cold starts and unstable scaling. Its global learning architecture is particularly impactful, allowing new campaigns to inherit high-performing patterns instead of starting from scratch, significantly reducing budget waste. Even as spend increases, it maintains strict control over CPA overflow, demonstrating exceptional scalability and stability."
These capabilities have been validated through collaboration with NerdWallet, a leading personal finance platform in North America. Operating in the fiercely competitive financial lead generation sector, NerdWallet previously faced continuous challenges with scaling efficiently, rising acquisition costs, and conversion stability. By leveraging SmartBid 3.0's intelligent bidding and full-funnel optimization, NerdWallet achieved a 76% year-over-year increase in ROAS and an impressive 97.9% budget consumption rate, alongside improved lead quality and campaign stability. The judges specifically praised the tangible business impact demonstrated in this use case.
"Securing two technology awards at the American Business Awards® is a strong validation of MediaGo's long-standing commitment to innovation, performance-driven solutions, and an advertiser-first approach," said Catelyn Wang, Head of Global BD & Sales, MediaGo. "Winning for the fourth consecutive year is a major milestone for us. Looking ahead, MediaGo will continue to advance the application of deep learning technologies in open web advertising, empowering global advertisers to break through growth challenges and achieve high-quality, sustainable business outcomes in an increasingly complex market environment."

MediaGo Wins Two Stevie® Awards in the 24th Annual American Business Awards®
BEIJING, May 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Segway Navimow, the World's No. 1 brand in wire-free robotic lawn mowers for two consecutive years*, today announced a new partnership with the United Football League, bringing together two brands rooted in performance, precision, and making the most of time spent outdoors.
Through their new campaign "Owning the Turf," Navimow and the UFL will come together around the shared belief that great performance is built on precision, power and the will to push through every challenge. Just as UFL players demand exact positioning, explosive strength, and flawless execution on the field, Navimow helps homeowners hold their lawns to the same standard. The Navimow X4 — built around a powerful AWD system designed for the toughest terrain — brings that professional-grade commitment to every backyard.
As part of the partnership, Navimow will showcase how robotic mowing can fit seamlessly into game day routines, allowing homeowners to mow automatically while they watch the game, host friends, or spend time with family.
"Whether on the football field or in the backyard, great performance comes down to attention to detail, consistency, and the strength to get the job done. It is what drives UFL players to perform at the highest level on the field, and it's what drives Navimow to maintain your lawn to that same standard at home," says George Ren, CEO, Navimow. "Through our partnership with the UFL, we're proving that when you have the right technology working for you, lawn care never has to compete with game day again — your yard is handled, your weekend is yours."
The partnership will feature Navimow's X4 Series - including the Navimow X430 and X450 - designed for larger and more challenging lawns. With powerful all-wheel drive, advanced navigation, turf-friendly handling, and pro-grade cutting performance, the X4 Series gives homeowners a smarter way to upgrade their lawn care routine without spending weekends behind a mower.
"Navimow is an innovative brand that aligns with the UFL's commitment to performance, technology, and delivering a first-class product on and off the field," said UFL President & CEO Russ Brandon. "We're excited to partner with a company that shares our focus on precision, consistency, and performance."
The partnership comes as Navimow continues to build momentum as a global leader in robotic lawn care. Navimow was recently named the world's No. 1 brand in wire-free robotic lawn mower retail volume sales for the second consecutive year and reached 1 million units in global cumulative mass production, marking its transition from category pioneer to global leader.
Alongside its TÜV Rheinland Lawn Care certification for select models, these milestones reinforce Navimow's commitment to delivering automated lawn care solutions that combine performance, reliability, and turf-friendly innovation.
Navimow's partnership is further reinforced by widespread adoption and independent recognition from customers, lawn mowing experts and key media. With a user base of over 550,000 globally, Navimow products are consistently ranked highly in rigorous media testing by leading publications across the globe, as well as achieving top comprehensive evaluations from leading testing bodies.
