Award Winning Global Talent Marketplace Platform Ensuring Today’s Businesses Benefit From Data and Technology Opens Seed Fundraising Round

Following a Stunning Win at the I-COM Global Summit and Breakthrough Product-Market Fit Performance, Seed Financing To Catapult 2018 Product Development & Sales

At the ninth annual I-COM Global Summit, hosted this year in the idyllic setting of San Sebastian, Spain, MeasureMatch outperformed 100s of startup entrants from across six countries and four continents to be declared winner of the I-COM Data Startup Challenge 2018 in the General Category.

Judged by a jury of marketing data elite, the winning MeasureMatch entry celebrated exceptional independent consultants and consultancies providing immediately valuable marketing & customer experience technology, data and analytics services on-demand. The MeasureMatch marketplace platform makes it easier, faster and better for ambitious businesses everywhere to access and benefit from transformational professional services like never before.

“Despite a very real skills shortage, amazing talent is out there. It’s just disorganised, distributed and difficult to find. With the aid of on-demand labor platforms, required skills can be found. And fast! Importantly, this extends to getting important tech, data & analytics work done, much of it project-based and requiring only hours, days or weeks to complete with an extra pair of highly skilled, trusted hands. And that is effectively our mission: To make it extremely easy, secure and enormously valuable for both companies and the providers of professional services to get important work done in an increasingly digital and borderless world”, says James Sandoval, Founder & CEO.

With the recent GDPR legislation enforcement, it has never been more important for organisations to leverage trusted expertise to support and lead the execution required to navigate safely through these challenging, ever-changing times.

“More data will be created in 2017 than the previous 5,000 years of humanity”, according to Sencha’s former CEO, Art Landro, and so the MeasureMatch service is uniquely positioned to support those organizations with the requisite ambition and commitment to rapidly advance their data-driven marketing and customer experience capabilities. Whether it is by improving reporting and insights from Adobe Analytics or dashboards built using Tableau Software through to the development of bespoke algorithms for large data sets managed via the Google Cloud Machine Learning (ML) Engine, MeasureMatch Experts are on-demand.

The MeasureMatch advisory board includes industry luminaries Maggie Boyer Finch of aQuantive and Microsoft, Jim Sterne, Chairman of the Digital Analytics Association and Daniel Callaghan, former Founder & CEO, Talmix.

And MeasureMatch’s 2017 pre-Seed fundraising attracted investments from a range of industry professionals from Ascend VC, Microsoft, Coca Cola, Havas Media Group, Omnicom Media Group, Avenue A|Razorfish and aQuantive.

Former Havas Media Group CEO, Paul Frampton, a pre-Seed investor and advisor, said this about the MeasureMatch service, "Despite recent high profile challenges around data protection, the transformation of data through analytics into intelligence remains a very important driver of business growth and competitive advantage. The biggest challenge is the dearth of accessible, brilliant talent when you need it. The MeasureMatch platform solves this, enabling businesses to locate and contract first class technology, data and analytics talent, faster and more cost effectively."
