Adbrain Raises Growth Funds, Hires CTO

Data intelligence firm Adbrain has raised $7.5m in an investment round, which it will use for further international expansion. The firm has also appointed Jason Atlas as Chief Technology Officer.

London-headquartered Adbrain, which also has offices in San Francisco and New York, has developed a platform through which marketers can understand and engage 1:1 with their customers across any device, channel and platform. Atlas (pictured) joins the team with more than twenty years of technology leadership experience and a background in data science and big data technology, having previously worked in big data, security and identity roles at Microsoft, Bloomberg, and start-ups such as Internet Identity. In his new role, Atlas will lead both the engineering and data science disciplines to create new identity technologies.

Adbrain's new funding comes from existing investors Notion Capital and Octopus Ventures, with participation from Cisco Investments. CEO, Gareth Davies comments: 'This latest funding round is a strong validation of Adbrain's growth trajectory, and we look forward to working closely with all of our investors to continue to deliver on the company's vision of providing holistic, privacy-safe identity solutions for our customers.'
