Data and analytics company impakt Advisors acquired by global digital marketing agency Croud

impakt Advisors is a New York-based data and analytics company providing data visualisation, data engineering and data science services to global brands including Public Goods, Indigo, ZX Ventures, Kerry Group and Dell.

Co-founded by managing partner Konrad Kopczynski alongside Alika Graham and Nicholas Hahn, impakt Advisors helps consumer brands maximise their analytics to optimise consumer targeting, inventory planning and marketing spend.

“We’re delighted to be joining Croud’s team during this exciting period of growth,” Kopczynski said. “Combining our teams’ skills and expertise in order to meet new client demands puts us in a really strong position to deliver even greater work for clients, and take their businesses to the next level.”

Integrating directly into Croud’s growing US data solutions team, the experienced team at impakt Advisors will provide additional specialist data and analytics skills to further strengthen Croud’s data solutions services. This acquisition supports the agency’s global investment in data solutions, which also includes the hiring of Croud’s global Head of Data Science and Tools Kelly Yip earlier this year.

“Increasingly, clients are asking for our help to do more with their data, and that includes optimising their marketing spend and unlocking valuable audience insights,” said Kris Tait, Croud’s US Managing Director. “Now, thanks to the added expertise of impakt’s team to strengthen our existing offering, we’re in a fantastic position to solve this challenge for our clients. Having followed impakt’s progress closely over the last four years, and knowing the culture of innovation they have built, I’m excited to work alongside Konrad and his team.”

The news follows an exciting period of growth for Croud’s US arm. In the last 12 months, the US business has grown close to 70% YoY and has more than doubled in headcount, hiring 25 new staff in 2021. Croud has welcomed key senior hires such as Dean Gardner as Global Chief Operating Officer, and Andrew Sandoval as VP of Biddable Media, who have played an integral role in driving the agency’s growth.
