We were thrilled to attend the Deloitte Fast 50 last night and place at no.43!

The UK Fast 50 is now in its 21^st year and acknowledges the 50 fastest-growing technology companies in the UK, based on revenue growth over the last four years. LoopMe’s CTO and Co-Founder, Marco van de Berg and Finance Director, Andrew Small attended to collect the award and meet with other shortlisted companies.

The award follows news that LoopMe has secured a further $17 million investment which will be used to continue the platform’s growth in the US, as well as increasing our existing presence in APAC. Read more about our plans in The Telegraph.

We are extremely proud to receive this accolade and look forward to exciting new developments in 2019!

We’re proud to announce that LoopMe are finalists at The Drum’s Digital Trading Awards APAC for Best Mobile Campaign for our work with Marina Bay Sands.

Using a combination of mobile creative and Artificial Intelligence, LoopMe drove a market-first campaign for The Shoppes, which optimized both its Watch & Jewellery campaign and brand KPI, which drove consideration by 11.3%.

The Drum’s Digital Trading Awards celebrates the best work in the industry, judged by industry leaders including Josephine Tan, Global Media Director, McDonald’s, Phil Wade, CMO, Jetstar Airways and GroupM’s Chief Digital Officer, Regan Baillie.

The Campaign

Marina Bay Sands is Singapore’s most iconic building, with the world’s largest rooftop Infinity pool, award-winning dining and a wide range of shopping and entertainment options. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands looked to increase awareness and consideration of the exclusive range of watch and jewellery offerings at The Shoppes. In the build-up to the Christmas period to promote this, Marina Bay Sands offered shoppers a SGD 150 shopping voucher with every SGD3000 spend.

The Shoppes had two main objectives – to achieve a high Click-Through-Rate (CTR) and brand consideration.

A combination of pre-roll, embedded video and rich media. Video helped drive branding and was used to engage consumers. Those who had engaged with the video or watched to completion were retargeted with further mobile rich media, encouraging them to click through to the campaign landing page. This ensured a high and consistent CTR.

To meet Marina Bay Sands Brand goal of consideration, LoopMe’s award-winning product, PurchaseLoop was deployed. PurchaseLoop’s artificial intelligence learns from consumer feedback to optimize mobile advertising in real time. Through effective creative and PurchaseLoop optimization, consideration increased by 11.3%.

We’re excited to announce that Annie McNamara, our Head of Sales, APAC has been featured as one of Campaign Asia’s Women to Watch!

The Women to Watch, presented in partnership with TBWA, celebrates and champions women making a mark on marketing, media and communications in Asia.

Annie began her career in mobile over 8 years ago, starting at Millennial Media (now part of Oath), then moving to YuMe (now part of RhythmOne), before joining LoopMe’s HQ in London in 2015.

Here Annie was LoopMe’s lead for the UK and EMEA business unit, managing client and agency relations. Annie educated AV teams at agencies about the rise of mobile to convert TV budgets to mobile video for effective cross-platform planning.

In March 2017, Annie relocated to Singapore and kick-started LoopMe’s APAC operations, bringing AI brand video solutions to the region. She and her team educate the market on Artificial Intelligence and mobile, including successful campaigns with Marina Bay Sands and Spotify as well as close partnership with the Unilever Foundry.

“I’m thrilled to be a part of this list with so many great women from across the industry. My inclusion in this list represents not only LoopMe’s great products but the fantastic work our APAC team is doing educating the market.” Commented Annie.

LoopMe GM, Pete-O’Mara Kane stated “I’ve worked with Annie for 5 years, first at Millennial and then at LoopMe. She has quickly risen from a Sales Exec to leading our APAC operations, which I attribute to her positive mentality and problem-solving attitude.”

He went on to say “She has constantly overachieved on targets and thrives on new challenges, most notably in her recent role as Head of Sales, APAC. Through strategic partnerships she has seen revenue grow and manages her team to achieve their full potential. Annie’s contribution to our business growth can’t be understated, and I know there’s lots more success to come her way”.

We’re excited to announce that LoopMe is a finalist at the Digiday Technology Awards for  ‘Best Video Marketing & Advertising Platform’!

The Digiday Technology Awards, formerly the Digiday Signal Awards, recognize the technology platforms that are bringing efficiency, effectiveness and creativity to the media and marketing processes for brands, agencies and publishers.

The Technology

LoopMe was founded with the mission of closing the loop on brand advertising. Our full-stack tech platform harnesses mobile data, using a powerful combination of attribution, Artificial Intelligence and analytics to deliver outstanding campaign performance against brand outcomes.

PurchaseLoop was launched in September 2016. It’s the first product to deliver mobile video campaigns against brand metrics like purchase intent, brand affinity, foot traffic, and sales. With PurchaseLoop, artificial intelligence learns from consumer feedback to optimize video campaigns in real time.

After conversations with clients, there was an opportunity to expand PurchaseLoop for brands with highly-defined audience categories who are relying on third-party data sources, which can be latent and less accurate when defining audiences. LoopMe then launched Audience Intelligence in August 2018.

 

Winners will be announced on Facebook Live on Sept. 5 at 2 p.m. EST. on Digiday’s Facebook page here. Good luck everyone!
