Brand’s First Predictive Platform to Unlock Growth. We are building predictive brandtech to allow Brand’s to navigate towards and continuously exploit whitespace growth. Our always on tool is aptly named Brand Navigator which helps you find your way in the tumultuous, changing, and vast ocean of business decisions. Our difference: we are not survey based which is still slow, directional and biased. Rather, we have the data we need, we are accessible by nearly every single brand on the planet regardless of size or category, we have a frictionless sales and onboarding process and our underlying data assets are being built with the vision to power lines of business outside of the branding space for rapid expansion in our later years. We are hiring. We are looking for new brand partners. We are always open for a chat with possible partners and investors.

Television remains a vibrant cultural influence and an essential source of entertainment and information worldwide. Tremendous growth in content choices, and viewing platforms that allow us to watch anything, anytime, on any screen, has actually made it harder for viewers to discover and keep up with all the great programming available. It’s also more competitive for content providers to keep your attention, and for marketers to make strong, measurable connections with their target consumers. Technology that improves the viewing experience, enables content discovery, and addresses audience fragmentation across screens will strengthen television’s business model and relevance to consumers. Data is at the center of any solution to make TV better. Samba TVs technology is built into Smart TVs and easily maps to smart phones and tablets. By recognizing whats on screen, Samba TV learns what viewers like and using machine learning algorithms, enables discovery of shows and actors in a whole new way. Likewise, our data and measurement products are transforming the way stakeholders across the media landscape are thinking about their business. Given the dramatic growth in streaming services, connected devices, time-shifting, and multi-screen viewership, our data products solve real problems and create a meaningful competitive advantage for our clients.
