Introducing data & measurement lines of business, reason for profit: NinthDecimal

Mobile programmatic and audience intelligence platform NinthDecimal, has announced that it has reached profitability in the fourth quarter of 2016 driven by increasing demand for its data and measurement lines of business. The company states that the two business lines combined for an average 200% increase in year-over-year revenues. The accelerated growth for the second consecutive year reflects the positive impact of NinthDecimal’s introduction of innovative data and measurement services in 2014. The company claims that the demand for omni-channel data solutions continued to increase among Marketers, expanding its customer roster by more than 70% in 2016. The company also claims to have tripled its strategic partnerships with advertising agencies. In 2016, NinthDecimal saw an expansion in its data partner ecosystem, bringing mobile-derived audiences to more than 200 activation partners across mobile, desktop, video, social, and TV. “An incredibly committed and talented NinthDecimal team, as well as key investments in our technology, have played a key role in our path to profitability in 2016,” said Michael Fordyce, CEO, NinthDecimal.

“The increase in demand for our products, which is generating tremendous business growth, is a tribute to the value we are delivering to marketers and partners. This past year’s success puts us in a great position to continue our positive momentum in 2017.”

The company’s measurement business also claims to have added more than 100 integrated media and advertising publishers to its LCI (Location Conversion Index) Verified Partner program, doubling to more than 200 in 2016.
