London UK – Jellyfish, the leading global digital marketing company under The Brandtech Group, has unveiled a first-of-its-kind AI-driven in-housing media platform. Built on the company’s automated marketing system, the platform is a unified framework that taps into a range of proprietary AI agents and tools, including Jellyfish’s recently released Media Ops Agent. 

Jellyfish has successfully utilized these AI technologies with various brand clients, but now, for the first time, marketers can access its full suite as a comprehensive, end-to-end solution to bring their media programs in-house, easily automating media research, evaluation, content strategy and activation. 

The platform's agentic workflows offer marketers significant advantages, including:

• Accelerated Time to Launch: Decreases time to launch campaigns by 65%.

• Reduced Infrastructure Costs: Lowers infrastructure expenses by an average of 22%.

• Error-Free Launches: Ensures flawless campaign executions with AI-driven precision, including 100% adherence to Google, Meta, and Amazon best practices within hours.

• Augmented Performance: Boosts campaign performance by an average of 30%.

Plus, the platform automatically adjusts campaigns to stay within the allocated budget and continually optimizes them for performance every 2 hours, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

This new tool builds upon Jellyfish’s established support for brand clients’ in-housing efforts. Prior to this release, the company facilitated in-housing initiatives through its Jellyfish Training program. Offering over 250 courses, this program encompasses subjects such as Social Media, Search, and Programmatic. Notably, the program also features comprehensive training on Gen AI, with 15 new courses added just within the past year.

The company’s work in the in-housing space is also founded on proven expertise within The Brandtech Group. Brandtech’s OLIVER, is the world's first and only company dedicated to designing, building, and running in-house agencies and marketing ecosystems. It currently serves over 500 brands in nearly 50 countries.

Jellyfish’s launch of the new in-housing media platform is the last piece of a 12-month AI development program, which saw the company overhaul every aspect of the traditional marketing mix from insights to SEO, assets to activation, and MMM to reporting. In addition, the transformation is in direct alignment with The Brandtech Group and its established leadership in providing large-scale Gen AI services since 2018. 

Marking this milestone, Jellyfish is also introducing a rebranding that features a new logo, visual representation and the tagline “Move Faster, Smarter, Together” – all reflective of the company’s significant AI developments and transformation, alongside its entrepreneurial roots.

“In merely a year, we have been able to create 235,000 pieces of content for three of the world's top 10 advertisers with the content on average being produced 62% faster, 55% cheaper and delivering a 40% improvement in ROI. This represents a totally new integrated AI approach – driving remarkable results,” said Natalie Winford, Chief Solutions Officer, Jellyfish.

"For brands eager to take control of their media, Jellyfish’s new media in-housing platform automates marketing analytics, freeing teams to focus on strategy, not data entry. Moreover, it also integrates an advanced MMM tool, which quickly and precisely determines the marketing contribution to KPIs to make macro budgetary decisions,” said Jeff Matisoff, Partner, Jellyfish. “Thanks to Jellyfish's agentic media system, it's finally time for marketers to power their in-house media teams with AI as opposed to just shifting agency headcount into their own org. In-housing demand is high, with the ANA reporting that 80% of its members have in-house agencies – and AI is predicted to spark expansion.”

“In the last 12 months we have challenged ourselves to build and run tech that answers client needs around speed, insight, transparency, measurement, invention and cost. This latest launch is a primary example of a totally new marketing strategy – underpinned by AI,” said Nick Emery, CEO, Jellyfish. “Our new identity reflects our ability to combine both left and right brains for progressive brands in ways that others can’t.  We are about speed, outcomes and invention. As 'Good to Great' says you can’t invent your company identity you have to discover it. You cannot just claim to be something that you inherently are not. ‘Move Faster, Smarter, Together with AI’ is true to our entrepreneurial DNA, our amazing, inventive talent and the cutting-edge technology we develop every day.”

“Crafting Jellyfish’s new brand was an enticing challenge,” said Jo Wallace, Global Executive Creative Director, Jellyfish. “We set out to capture the company's collaborative energy, diverse expertise, and AI prowess, bringing them together in a dynamic visual identity that demonstrates how we ‘Move Smarter, Faster, Together’ to drive growth for our clients.”

Released out of beta in June 2024, Now-Next-Soon (NNS), Jellyfish’s forecasting and budget allocation platform, reinvents Marketing Mix Modelling to quickly and granularly inform decisions across all marketing channels - offline, digital, promotional, email, events and more. NNS’s faster outputs and frequent updates tell marketers everything they need to know about how marketing is driving business performance

In September 2024, Jellyfish launched the Share of Model™ platform reinventing SEO and providing real-time insights into how AI systems like GPT-4 and Llama 2 perceive brands, empowering clients to refine their strategies for an AI-driven world. Three start-ups have since raised $5M each to copy this initiative.

Jellyfish Cloud was created and released in October 2024 to guide the company’s clients across the right platform solution and martech systems integration.

Before Agents were a thing Jellyfish launched Social Agents in December 2024 to transform how clients gather feedback on content and positioning.

All this comes together under Jellyfish’s AM, Autonomous Marketing framework that brings together all of the company’s assets and inventions to drive growth for its clients.

Technology and software have become part of nearly every business decision. Marketing, finance, operations, sales and customer service all depend on digital systems to move information and complete work. In Canada, that dependence is pushing organizations to think less about individual applications and more about how technology fits together across the business. The change is easy to miss because software adoption often happens one department at a time. A team adds a platform to solve an immediate problem, another introduces a separate system and new tools appear as needs change. Over time, businesses can end up with a complicated technology environment that works in pieces but lacks a clear connection between them. Technology Has to Work Across the Business The value of technology is increasingly tied to how well different systems work together. Customer information, financial data, marketing activity and internal processes can no longer be treated as completely separate areas. When systems share information effectively, teams spend less time moving data between applications and more time acting on it. This is particularly relevant for marketing organizations. Modern marketing depends on information from many points across the customer journey. Campaign platforms, analytics systems, customer databases and content tools each contribute part of the picture. Connecting those systems can give marketers a more useful understanding of customer behavior and campaign performance. The challenge is that integration is rarely just a technical exercise. Different departments often have different priorities, processes and definitions for the same information. A successful technology environment therefore requires business teams to agree on what data matters and how it should be used. Software also has to earn its place in everyday work. A platform may offer extensive functionality, yet still create frustration if employees find it difficult to use. Adoption depends on whether technology fits the way people actually work rather than forcing every process into a rigid digital structure. AI Changes the Software Conversation Artificial intelligence is adding another layer to this shift. AI capabilities are appearing inside marketing platforms, productivity software, analytics tools and customer systems, making intelligent functions part of regular business applications rather than something reserved for specialist teams. The most useful applications are often practical. AI can help organize information, identify patterns, assist with content development, summarize large amounts of material or support customer interactions. These uses can reduce repetitive work while giving employees more time for tasks that require judgment and creativity. That does not make human oversight less important. Businesses need to understand how AI-generated outputs are produced and where they may be unreliable. Questions around data quality, privacy, security and intellectual property also become more important as AI becomes embedded in everyday software. “The Stronger Opportunity Lies In Creating Connected, Secure And Adaptable Environments Where Information Moves More Effectively And People Can Make Better Decisions.” For Canadian businesses, this creates a need for thoughtful adoption rather than a rush toward every new AI feature. The strongest technology strategies will connect AI to specific business needs and establish clear boundaries around how it is used. Security and Resilience Become Core Requirements A more connected technology environment also creates greater responsibility. Businesses depend on software for customer relationships, payments, communications, data management and internal operations. A problem in one system can therefore have consequences beyond the department that uses it. Cybersecurity needs to be considered throughout the technology lifecycle. Access controls, data protection, software updates and employee awareness all contribute to a stronger environment. Security cannot be treated as something added after a platform has already been selected. Resilience matters in the same way. Organizations need to understand which systems are essential to their operations and how they would continue working if a critical application became unavailable. This is particularly important as businesses rely more heavily on cloud services and interconnected platforms. Technology decisions are consequently becoming business decisions. The question is no longer simply whether software can perform a task. Leaders also need to consider how it affects continuity, risk, information and the customer experience. Building a More Deliberate Technology Environment The next phase of technology adoption will likely be less about accumulating applications and more about creating a coherent digital foundation. Businesses need systems that can adapt as priorities change without requiring constant replacement or expensive restructuring. That makes scalability an important consideration. Software should be able to support changing teams, customer expectations and business processes without becoming a constraint. Open integration capabilities and sensible data structures can give organizations more flexibility as their technology environment evolves. There is also a growing case for reviewing existing systems before adding new ones. Some technology problems are caused not by a lack of software but by overlapping platforms, unused features or processes that were never redesigned after digital tools were introduced. Technology leaders therefore have an opportunity to simplify as well as expand. Removing unnecessary complexity can make systems easier to manage and help employees focus on the tools that genuinely support their work. Technology and software now sit much closer to the center of business strategy. Their role is not simply to automate tasks or digitize existing processes. The stronger opportunity lies in creating connected, secure and adaptable environments where information moves more effectively and people can make better decisions. For Canadian organizations, that shift places practical value above novelty and long-term usefulness above the appeal of the newest tool. ...Read more

Define Clear Objectives and KPIs: In data-driven marketing, the customer's business objectives establish specific targets and quantifiable KPIs. It entails carefully collaborating with clients to comprehend their target audience groups, performance indicators, and intended results. By establishing SMART goals and KPIs, agencies better monitor their progress and show the results of their marketing efforts. Utilize Predictive Analytics and Machine Learning: Optimising marketing strategies and boosting performance require predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms.

Tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Google Data Studio can create visually engaging dashboards and reports highlighting key metrics, trends, and performance indicators, guiding strategic decision-making and driving business growth. Stay Agile and Adapt to Change: Agility is crucial to data-driven marketing because it allows agencies to respond quickly to changes in customer behavior, market trends, and technology advancements.

AI and automation transform event management by increasing productivity, accuracy, and attendee happiness.  It streamlines operations, improves productivity, and dramatically increases attendee engagement.  Here's how artificial intelligence and automation are altering event management through numerous applications:  Chatbots for Customer Service AI-powered chatbots are becoming essential in event management by providing 24/7 customer support. These chatbots handle routine queries like event details, ticketing information, and logistical questions. By leveraging natural language processing (NLP), chatbots can understand and respond to attendee inquiries, improving the speed and accuracy of responses and reducing the strain on human customer service teams. Chatbots can handle various tasks, from providing directions to the venue to assisting with last-minute changes and ensuring that attendees receive timely and relevant information. Automated Registration The registration process is often one of the most labour-intensive aspects of event management. Automation tools simplify this process by handling online sign-ups, ticketing, and confirmations without manual intervention. Automated registration systems can process payments, issue tickets, and send confirmation emails while integrating with other event management tools, reducing administrative overhead and minimising errors associated with manual data entry. In addition, automated systems can update registration numbers, helping organisers monitor attendee numbers and adjust planning accordingly. Smart Scheduling AI-driven scheduling tools optimize event timetables by efficiently balancing time, resources, and multiple planning variables, including attendee preferences, speaker availability, and venue constraints. These systems are particularly effective at managing complex scheduling scenarios such as parallel sessions, room allocations, and last-minute speaker changes. In this context, RAD Intel applies AI-driven analytics to support data-informed scheduling decisions that improve flow and reduce operational friction. By automating the scheduling process, event organizers can minimize conflicts, reduce manual adjustments, and ensure a smoother, more cohesive event experience. Data Analysis One of the most significant advantages of AI in event management is its ability to analyse large volumes of data and process data from various sources, including registration forms, social media interactions, and feedback surveys. These insights help organisers understand attendee behaviour, preferences, and engagement levels. Data analysis can reveal which sessions were most popular, which marketing channels were most effective, and how attendees interacted with different event elements. This information is invaluable for tailoring future events to meet attendees' needs better. Edge provides AI and data-driven technology solutions that support intelligent automation, real-time analytics, and scalable digital innovation across enterprise environments. Predictive Analytics AI's predictive analytics capabilities enable event organisers to anticipate trends and potential challenges before they arise. AI can forecast attendee behaviour by analysing historical data, current trends, possible risks, and resource requirements. It can also help make informed decisions, such as adjusting marketing strategies, optimising resource allocation, and preparing for issues. Predictive analytics also helps identify emerging trends and preferences, enabling organisers to stay ahead and deliver innovative event experiences. Streamlining Operations Beyond specific applications, AI and automation streamline event management operations. Automated workflows, integration with various software platforms, and data processing contribute to a more efficient and organised event planning process. Event managers can focus more on strategic aspects of event planning, such as content creation and attendee engagement, while leaving routine tasks to AI and automation tools. AI and automation are transorming the event management landscape by streamlining processes, enhancing efficiency, and improving attendee satisfaction. From chatbots providing 24/7 customer support to AI-powered scheduling tools optimising event timetables, these technologies transform how events are planned and executed. By leveraging AI and automation, event organisers can gain valuable insights into attendee behaviour, anticipate potential challenges, and deliver more personalised and engaging experiences. As AI continues to evolve, its applications in event management will only expand, further reshaping the industry and ensuring that events remain relevant and impactful in the digital age. ...Read more
