What Metigy does

Metigy was an Australian-headquartered, AI-powered digital marketing platform combined with a full-service 360° digital marketing agency, primarily serving small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) globally. The platform used Deep Learning to convert marketing metrics into actionable insights, providing personalized marketing recommendations, prioritized Marketing Actions, content creation/scheduling across social channels (Facebook, Instagram), Google Ads campaign management, and competitor/industry analytics. Integrated partners included Canva (graphic design), Mailchimp (email marketing), and native connections to Facebook Ads and Google Ads, with a Singapore-focused Southeast Asia growth push on top of Australian, UK and US operations.

The company monetized through two streams: (1) SaaS platform subscriptions with custom-quoted pricing and a self-serve/PLG funnel via metigy.com, and (2) professional-services revenue from the agency arm offering SEO, content marketing, social media marketing, PPC and paid media buying, email marketing, and e-commerce-focused marketing at "affordable rates." Go-to-market combined product-led sign-ups with community-led acquisition through the Metigy Learning blog and the Forward Thinking Podcast. Metigy raised approximately AUD $27.1M across four rounds (2015–2020), with the November 2020 AUD $20M Series B led by Cygnet Capital and supported by Regal Funds Management, OC Funds, Five V Venture Capital, Thorney and Terra Capital.

The company is no longer operating. Following an ASIC investigation, former CEO and co-founder David Fairfull was found to have misused approximately AUD $7.7M of company funds and misled investors during a period when roughly AUD $39M was raised between 2018 and 2021. Metigy entered administration in July 2022, and Fairfull was sentenced to nine years' imprisonment by the Australian Federal Court in June 2026 after pleading guilty in November 2025.
