Fluent (ISIN US34380C1027) named Jeanniey Walden chief marketing officer on September 8, 2026, as the company expanded its commerce capabilities, according to Fluent. On August 11, 2026, MarketBeat reported that Lake Street Capital raised its target for Fluent from USD 5.00 to USD 5.50.

Commerce leadership gets a new name

Walden joined Fluent as the company deepened relationships with leading brands and promoted Fluent In-Store, the company said in its September 8, 2026 release. The move links the personnel change to a commercial priority rather than a routine executive reshuffle.

Revenue beat came with a loss
