For few years now, we have been a close partner for the largest marketing performance and auditing company in the world, Ebiquity.

Just in our region we service the largest number of clients out of all auditors present in the market (own research dated September 2020, based on Top100 advertisers as per Nielsen Audience Measurements data), that allows us to see the market from the broadest perspective and to have the largest and thus the most robust Pools and databases.

Our market share on the audited market is a solid 65%, with the closest competitor having less than half of it.
