What Infectious Media does

Infectious Media is an international programmatic media agency headquartered in London, United Kingdom, founded in 2007. The firm partners with global brands to deliver effective and efficient media campaigns, operating with a team of 51-100 employees under the leadership of co-founder and CEO Martin Kelly, Managing Director Zoe Steventon, and Chief Architect Dimitrij Denissenko. The company was selected for the Future Fifty program, a UK government-backed tech accelerator, in March 2018, indicating prior positioning within the UK high-growth technology ecosystem.

The source material aggregated for this analysis is materially thin on Infectious Media-specific operational details. No product portfolio, proprietary technology stack, customer logos, pricing model, revenue figures, or post-2018 strategic events specific to the company are disclosed in the input data. As a result, the description above reflects the full extent of what the evidence supports, and deeper operational analysis is constrained by the available data quality rather than by analytical judgment.
