History

Founded in 2001, the company emerged during the expansion of online advertising alongside firms such as Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft Advertising, AOL, and DoubleClick. Early engagements connected the firm with e-commerce initiatives contemporaneous with eBay, Amazon (company), Shopify, PayPal, and Etsy (company), while later work intersected with platform developments by Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Snap Inc.. Growth phases corresponded with investment and consolidation trends seen at Omnicom Group, WPP plc, Publicis Groupe, Dentsu, and IPG. Strategic hires and acquisitions mirrored moves by Merkle, Razorfish, Sapient, AKQA, and iProspect. International expansion occurred as digital advertising regulations evolved with frameworks like General Data Protection Regulation and as programmatic ecosystems matured with stakeholders including The Trade Desk, AppNexus, Rubicon Project, Magnite (company), and Index Exchange. The firm navigated industry shifts involving privacy and tracking driven by companies such as Apple Inc., Mozilla, and Google Chrome while adapting to measurement innovations from Nielsen (company), Comscore, Gartner, and Forrester Research.
