Our business is built on a consulting base that has already reformed how brands measure, plan and execute marketing communications. It is transforming to a real-time ad tech business by creating scalable software products for online advertising that will revolutionise how demand side platform bids in ad exchanges for ad spaces.

Additional academic support will be provided by a close community of industry-focused inter-disciplinary research groups and the successful applicant should exhibit entrepreneurial flair, and proactively communicate with researchers throughout the University.
Interested candidates should be committed to achieving the desired change in the company and have at least a post graduate degree or with a relevant degree involving a significant amount of software development.
