The firm operates as a specialized paid media and data-driven marketing services provider serving B2B and B2C clients across 25 countries, with a roster of 70+ clients that includes enterprise brands such as Leroy Merlin, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Petrossian, American Vintage, Naturalia, Decathlon Travel, Xpeng, and Wooclap.

The firm's technical foundation is built on a proprietary "Test and Learn" methodology, predictive models for campaign impact estimation, and a multi-channel attribution infrastructure that delivers custom KPI dashboards.

Web analytics services include GA4 implementation, server-side tracking, CAPI integration, and Consent Mode configuration, delivered through a triadic consultant structure.

Revenue derives from professional services — agency fees and management retainers for ongoing paid media, SEO, and consulting engagements — distributed through consultative B2B selling across mid-market and enterprise accounts. The current leadership team comprises approximately 17 specialized professionals spanning Partner Media, Data & Analytics, Creative Performance, Paid Media, SEO, and operations functions.
