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.”

Over the course of 2024, Jellyfish Training trained over 55,000 delegates on courses ranging from GA4 through to prompt engineering and Generative AI, collecting the global Google Cloud Partner for Training Award for three years running.

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.

Brand lift studies are essential to contemporary marketing, providing valuable insights into how campaigns influence brand perception, awareness, and purchase intent. By evaluating changes in crucial brand metrics pre- and post-campaign, marketers can effectively gauge the impact of their initiatives and optimize strategies through data-driven decision-making. Understanding Brand Lift Studies Brand lift studies are research tools designed to assess the impact of marketing campaigns on brand metrics within a target audience. These metrics typically include brand awareness (the percentage of individuals who recognize or recall the brand), brand favorability (the emotional response towards the brand), purchase intent (the likelihood of consumers making a purchase), and brand messaging recall (how well consumers remember campaign messages). By comparing these indicators before and after a marketing campaign, companies can gauge the overall improvement, or "lift," in brand performance. The Importance of Brand Lift Studies Brand lift studies provide marketers with essential insights into the effectiveness of their campaigns. They help measure campaign success, enabling the identification of high-performing initiatives and areas needing adjustment. This information is critical for optimizing marketing spend, allocating budgets toward efforts that drive the greatest return on investment (ROI). Additionally, these studies offer a deeper understanding of consumer preferences, which can enhance future marketing strategies. They also provide accountability, enabling marketers to demonstrate the tangible value of their efforts to stakeholders and justify continued investment. ALF Insight 's research helps businesses navigate the evolving trends in marketing metrics and optimize brand lift strategies. Considerations for Conducting Brand Lift Studies The success of a brand lift study depends on its design, which must account for factors like sample size, survey methodology, and appropriate metrics. Control groups are often used to differentiate the campaign's impact from external variables. Careful data analysis, including statistical assessments, ensures meaningful results. Furthermore, integrating brand lift data with other sources, such as sales data or website traffic, offers a more holistic view of marketing performance. ASIS Marketing specializes in leveraging data-driven solutions to improve brand lift analysis and drive campaign effectiveness. Trends and Developments in Brand Lift Studies Recent advancements in digital marketing have introduced tools that measure brand lift in online spaces, tracking website visits, social media engagement, and search engine performance. Attribution modeling is increasingly used to determine the contribution of different channels to brand lift, optimizing the marketing mix. Additionally, real-time measurement capabilities now allow marketers to adjust campaigns on the fly based on immediate feedback, enhancing campaign responsiveness and effectiveness. Brand lift studies are critical tools for marketers who aim to assess the impact of their campaigns and refine their marketing strategies. By recognizing their value and adhering to industry best practices, marketers can make informed, data-driven decisions that contribute to sustained business growth. ...Read more
Digital marketing continues to evolve as brands compete for attention across increasingly active social media platforms. Consumers expect timely, relevant and engaging content that reflects their interests and values. To meet these expectations, businesses are adopting advanced technologies that simplify campaign management while improving consistency and efficiency. A social media advertising automation platform has become an essential tool, helping marketers manage campaigns more effectively while allowing creative teams to focus on strategy and storytelling rather than repetitive manual tasks. Advertising automation supports every stage of campaign development from planning and scheduling to performance monitoring and optimization. Instead of spending valuable time on routine processes, marketers can focus on understanding customer behavior, creating compelling content and strengthening brand relationships. Automation also improves collaboration by providing marketing teams with shared insights and streamlined workflows that keep campaigns aligned with business goals. Intelligent Campaign Management Today, brands must have a presence across various social media channels, produce content, and coordinate their messaging, imagery, and branding to be successful in advertising. Automation helps to streamline the process and manage campaign schedules, content delivery and manual tasks. Marketing teams can increase their control over complex marketing campaigns while maintaining flexibility and creativity. Intelligent automation has improved audience targeting. A company can go beyond general demographic information and understand the ideas, engagement patterns and online behavior of its customers. These insights enable brands to craft messages that resonate and are seen as more relevant, which, in turn, help to enhance customer engagement and cultivate deeper relationships. Creative testing is another important advantage of automation. Different headlines, visuals and messaging styles can be evaluated efficiently to determine which combinations perform most effectively. Marketing professionals remain responsible for creative direction while automated systems provide valuable recommendations that improve campaign quality over time. There are further enhancements in scheduling. Automated publishing ensures your ads are placed during peak audience engagement times, helping boost visibility and engagement. Getting the timing right helps enhance the customer experience and reduces the workload for marketing. Automation also helps to reinforce brand consistency. When it comes to communication, businesses often run several campaigns simultaneously, making it difficult to keep the message consistent. Intelligent systems help ensure that every platform has a consistent brand presence, leading to increased customer recognition and trust. Artificial Intelligence and Smarter Advertising AI is playing a pivotal role in advertising automation by learning from campaign performance and making recommendations for improvement. Intelligent technologies constantly adjust to customer behaviours and market conditions, rather than following a set of rules. Predictive means marketers can anticipate and spot opportunities before they are known. Automation can look back at engagement history to suggest strategies for content, scheduling, and audience changes that are conducive to improved future engagement. This enables businesses to be responsive and make informed plans for campaigns. Intelligent automation also aids in budget management. Advertising resources can be allocated to marketing teams more effectively based on a marketing campaign's performance, while keeping the overall marketing strategy intact. The flexibility enables businesses to respond to changes swiftly, without constantly making manual adjustments. Personalization will always be a part of the future of digital advertising. Automated systems can provide content based on customer interests and on customers' interaction and engagement behavior. Instead of building many individual campaigns, marketers can create content that is more adaptable to reach different audience segments more efficiently while still giving them the personalized experience they are looking for. A social media advertising automation platform also connects with other marketing technologies to create a unified workflow. Advertising systems, customer relationship management platforms, content planning tools and analytics solutions increasingly operate together, improving campaign coordination and providing a more complete understanding of customer interactions. Privacy remains an important consideration as automation evolves. Businesses recognize that responsible data practices help strengthen customer confidence while supporting sustainable marketing strategies. Modern automation solutions increasingly emphasize transparency secure information management and permission based engagement that respects customer expectations. The Next Generation of Brand Growth The future of advertising automation extends beyond improving efficiency. Successful brands will build flexible marketing strategies that adapt to changing consumer expectations, new technologies and evolving digital platforms. Agility will become one of the defining characteristics of competitive marketing organizations. Real time optimization will continue to improve as intelligent systems monitor campaign performance and recommend immediate adjustments. Instead of waiting for scheduled reviews, marketers can refine campaigns throughout their duration, leading to more responsive and effective advertising. Human creativity will remain essential despite growing automation. Technology manages repetitive tasks, processes information quickly and identifies opportunities, while creative professionals develop authentic stories, emotional connections and memorable brand experiences. Together, these strengths create campaigns that combine efficiency with originality. Content formats will continue to expand as brands invest in short videos, interactive experiences, live broadcasts and emerging digital media. Automation helps coordinate these diverse formats, maintain consistent messaging and simplify campaign management across multiple platforms. Future marketing strategies will also focus on building long term customer relationships rather than emphasizing individual promotional campaigns. Automated customer journeys support continuous communication throughout the buying experience, helping brands remain relevant while encouraging loyalty and ongoing engagement. ...Read more
The marketing landscape is amid a significant shift, fueled by the increasing demand for agility, personalization, and data-driven insights. In this fast-paced setting, the traditional reliance on extensive coding expertise for every digital initiative has become a hindrance. This is where no-code and low-code (NCLC) MarTech solutions step in, empowering marketers to become 'citizen developers.' This role allows them to swiftly create and deploy sophisticated campaigns and applications without writing a single line of code or with minimal coding. The Driving Force Behind NCLC MarTech's Rise NCLC solutions are increasingly popular in marketing because they accelerate digital transformation, bridge the IT talent shortage, increase agility and responsiveness, and empower marketers to iterate and deploy changes quickly. They also enable marketers to understand customer needs and business objectives, fostering a more collaborative environment. NCLC also offers cost-effectiveness, reducing development time and reliance on expensive external developers, resulting in significant cost savings for marketing departments. Many NCLC platforms operate on a subscription model, offering a more predictable and often lower total cost of ownership than traditional development, further empowering marketing professionals. Key Applications of No-Code and Low-Code in MarTech NCLC solutions are redefining marketing operations by enabling easy website and landing page creation, automation workflows, data integration, custom application development, personalization, and customer experience (CX). These platforms, like Webflow and Bubble, allow marketers to design and launch websites and landing pages, A/B test variations, and personalize content without needing web developers, making their operations more flexible and agile. Data integration and management are simplified through iPaaS solutions like Zapier, Make, and Tray.io, enhancing adaptability.

They will leverage NCLC for rapid prototyping, agile campaign execution, and empowering citizen developers while relying on it for enterprise-level architecture, complex integrations, security, and governance. By strategically adopting no-code and low-code MarTech solutions, marketers can unlock unprecedented levels of agility, innovation, and efficiency. For instance, they can quickly prototype and launch new campaigns, innovate with personalized customer experiences, and streamline their operations, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: delivering exceptional customer experiences and driving business growth. ...Read more
