MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Origami Logic, a leading provider of marketing performance measurement solutions, announced it has closed a $15.2 million financing round. Viola Ventures co-led the round with Saban Ventures, with participation from existing investors. The latest investment will be used to ramp up Origami Logic’s marketing and sales efforts in order to meet the growing demand from Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) organizations and other large brands that are looking for increased transparency into their media supply chain and the performance of their cross-channel marketing spend. The new funding will also be used to expand the Origami platform’s advanced machine learning and analytics capabilities, as brands look to accelerate their “time-to-insight” and respond rapidly to evolving consumer behaviors.
With global marketing spend expected to have passed 1 trillion dollars in 2017, there is a lot at stake so advertisers are putting transparency on the top of their 2018 to-do lists.
“As businesses transform to digital and mobile-first, hardly a week goes by without a CMO or a large brand responding in the media to issues related to media transparency and how their advertising spend is performing,” stated Origami Logic CEO and Co-Founder Opher Kahane. “Viewability, brand safety, true reach, data ownership, channel spend visibility. These are all issues we hear about every day where the world’s largest advertisers need help. The Origami platform has been deployed to solve these core business transformation issues at many of the world’s largest brands and this latest round of financing will fuel our ability to address this growing need.”
“As brands invest more in marketing technology, there is an increased need for transparency, visibility and trusted data,” said Daniel Cohen, General Partner at Viola Ventures. “We see a huge market opportunity for solutions offered by Origami Logic and we strongly believe the company can lead this multi-billion dollar category in the next few years. We couldn’t be more excited about partnering with the Origami team and we look forward to supporting them as they scale their business globally.”
“Brands are clearly requiring increased transparency, as return-on-marketing-spend becomes a key performance metric,” said Barak Pridor, Managing Partner, Saban Ventures. “We are impressed by the deep relationships Origami has built with some of the world's leading brands around this growing need. We look forward to working with this great team as they take their business to the next level.”
