Sticky Brings in $3M from Leading European Tech Investors to Clean up the Digital Wasteland

London (April 11, 2013) – Media technology company Sticky announced today that it has closed a $3M funding round with leading European tech investors Conor and Northzone.

Over 50% of online impressions are never seen.  Thirty percent of those impressions that are considered “viewable” (in-screen) are never seen.  So how do you make sure your ad is seen?  Meet Sticky – the next generation in ad accountability.  Sticky is not another in-screen measurement tool; Sticky gets inside the eyes of a consumer showing you whether your ad is actually seen or not. Capable of tracking an entire ad campaign with a dashboard interface, Sticky is revolutionizing optimization for online brand advertising. 

Sticky’s growing list of clients, includes P&G, L’Oreal, McDonalds, and GroupM, among others.

"With the Sticky Platform, brand advertisers will be able to optimize their campaigns and increase their ROI.  Sticky technology will become a must-have in a world of ever-increasing competition for attention, where online brand advertising has been left without quality measurement tools for much too long.  Sticky has the potential to be the global leader in this category and we are thrilled to be backing them,” comments Jarkko Penttilä, Partner at Conor Venture Partners.

Representing Sticky, Mathias Plank, Founder and CEO, says, “We are looking forward to working with leading tech investors Conor and Northzone.  Tapping into their wealth of experience will take us to the next step in becoming global leaders.
