Captify operates a Search Intelligence Platform that collects and connects first-party search data and contextual signals via direct integrations with publishers and e-commerce providers. Its proprietary semantic engine processes more than 40 billion monthly search events and connects real-time searches from over 2 billion devices globally, and the company says it is the largest independent processor of search data outside Google. Captify offers a cookieless, search-powered solution that delivers high-intent, granular audiences and insights without reliance on third-party cookies. The platform is used by more than 800 leading brands and is a partner to all six major media agency holding groups; notable clients include Disney, Unilever, eBay, Mercedes-Benz, Microsoft, Nestle, GSK, Uber, Mars, P&G, Sony and Toyota. Captify recently launched a self-serve platform and describes a very strong historical annual growth rate, positioning it for further global expansion. The business emphasizes a privacy-first approach and supports the open web while serving advertisers, publishers, and consumers. Captify focuses on search retargeting and has built a large independent search data network covering 550 million unique users globally and billions of searches. Its proprietary technology is used to engage consumers at the point of intent and it runs campaigns for major brands including Microsoft, British Airways, Barclays, Warner Brothers, SKY, BMW, Hilton and American Express. The company works with over 88 media agencies in the UK and more than 100 in Europe. Captify has expanded headcount from 11 to 65 and opened offices in Hamburg and Kiev, with a third office planned to open in Paris. Management is led by co‑founders Dominic Joseph (CEO) and Adam Ludwin (CVO). The company expects to achieve revenues of over £15m this year and plans to use new funding to invest in its search intelligence technology, expand its product suite and accelerate international expansion.
