All our products are about helping people to navigate uncertainty to make better decisions. Our latest development achieves this through our Decision Support Engine, the next generation of Artificial Intelligence. By analysing relationships and signals that are difficult to pick up in datasets, our AI Decision Support Engine can make digital businesses more efficient, more relevant and more profitable.

Angus Bankes, Chairman of MediaGamma, commented: “The UK is a major growth hub for Artificial Intelligence and this is a great example of the kind of data-science driven innovation being pioneered here. We believe that by applying the AI decision support engine products to the challenges businesses face, we can affect a step change in the development of digital advertising, and potentially other sectors and the economy as a whole.
