    Participated · Series A · Oct 2020

    Veritonic positions itself as the independent standard for cultural and creative intelligence, combining Creative, Brand Lift, and Attribution measurement in one adaptive platform. Fueled by millions of consumer and fan insights worldwide, the software helps brands such as Pepsi, Indeed, and CBS forecast, prove, and scale ROI. The technology allows marketers to know, rather than guess, which creative executions and cultural collaborations drive measurable impact. Veritonic’s data capabilities are now being extended to the music and entertainment sector through a new partnership with Authentic Intelligence, giving brands first-look access to emerging talent and cultural IP and the ability to quantify related ROI. This collaboration aims to shift brands from mere sponsorship to ownership of cultural moments. No revenue, user, or other operating metrics were disclosed in the article. Future efforts will center on integrating Authentic Intelligence’s cultural access with Veritonic’s measurement stack to create earlier, smarter investments in cultural partnerships.
