We're creating the world’s first Brandtech group to bridge the gap between brands and technology.
You & Mr Jones is building a new global group that sits at the intersection of:
• the dramatic growth in mobile
• the tech revolution that has empowered people to create, produce and share unprecedented amounts of content
• frustrated global companies looking for partners who are both brand and tech-savvy
The group will acquire companies in the following areas:
• User and machine generated content
• Creative, brand and content strategy
• Social media marketing
• Programmatic media buying
• Multi-channel networks
• Real-time measurement and analytics
Backed by an initial $350million, You & Mr Jones has acquired Mofilm, the global leader in creative crowdsourcing. Its proprietary technology connects a community of more than 30,000 filmmakers providing a platform to create content for some of the world’s leading brands
You & Mr Jones has also made minority investments in Pixlee and Mashable.
In addition, we have launched You & Mr Jones Brandtech Ventures. Headquartered in San Francisco, it will make investments in early stage and high-growth technology companies.
