Our B2B SaaS analytics has been licensed by many of the big Global streamers and Hollywood studios in the last 18 months. We are about to go after a new untapped market.

Our product is an innovative and unique SaaS analytics solution, presenting data captured by our own hardware and software. We analyse product positioning for any app, content and streaming service shown in the digital User Interface (UI) of connected devices.

We have established data labs in 21 countries to collect data and analyse insights on Film and TV placement. We provide data for marketers to get full visibility on the correlation between promotions, sales spikes, ROI on promotions and insights they can use to plan strategies and tactics which improve their overall ROI. Our clients include VoD stores, Film/TV Studios and Broadcasters.

With a dynamic culture that celebrates group and individual success, we have lean teams of super-smart, hard-working colleagues who collaborate closely to produce a valuable service for an industry about which we’re all passionate. We work with some of the biggest, most dynamic technology and media companies in the world; we love working with them and we love pushing ourselves to provide greater solutions and customer experiences for them.
