By providing clients with both passive metering and contextual panel data, its technology offers something unique in the market. We are very excited to be partnering with the company as it enters its next phase of growth and seeks to build on its already impressive customer base.”

Hugh Campbell, Managing Partner of GP Bullhound commented: “We have been involved with RealityMine since 2013, and have been lucky enough to witness RealityMine develop a product and service that has become integral to marketers worldwide to increase the effectiveness of their advertising spend. As more connected devices come online it is clear that brands and marketing agencies will put enormous value on the data that they use to make multi-million pound purchasing decisions. The business has achieved great success in such a short period of time and we expect that its rapid growth will continue for many years to come.”

This represents the completion of GP Bullhound’s 25th transaction in 2015 and further demonstrates the firm’s international reach and its commitment to working with category leading data analytics businesses from across Europe.
