DUBLIN, Jan. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CBPE Capital LLP ("CBPE") and Snigel Web Services Limited ("Snigel") are pleased to announce that CBPE has made a significant investment in Snigel, a leading advertising technology company that helps online publishers (website owners) monetize their traffic through programmatic advertising.
CBPE is excited to support Snigel's significant expansion plans as the company builds on the market-leading results that Snigel's technology and ad management teams deliver for publishers.
Headquartered in Dublin, Snigel is a global advertising technology business that enables publishers to grow their ad revenue while optimizing the user experience and solving all data privacy requirements. Snigel's leading results are driven by its proprietary technology platform, AdEngine, which leverages Machine Learning to match the optimal ad to each available impression, resulting in better outcomes for both publishers and advertisers. Snigel continues to build on its technological lead with a new wave of product releases, including AI-powered ad setup optimization tools, automated UI customization, and data analytics. Snigel also offers dedicated support and customized ad setups to each of its publisher customers through its global Ad Operations team.
The business was founded in 2012 by former Google executives and has established itself as the trusted monetization partner to a fast-growing cohort of premium websites. The business is driven by a clear focus on publishers, contributing to a healthy AdTech ecosystem, and a collaborative culture of excellence. This, along with the deep technological expertise of Snigel's team, has led to rapid revenue growth of over 40% CAGR since 2020. Snigel has been featured on Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 list for three years in a row.
CBPE's investment will allow Snigel to expedite growth in its core markets of Europe and the United States whilst expanding its market-leading technology offering.
The investment in Snigel continues CBPE's successful track record of partnering with technology software and services companies and their management teams, including current investments in Mindera and The Key and past investments such as Xceptor.
The terms of the transaction have not been disclosed, but the founders will remain the largest private shareholders as they stand behind the long-term growth potential of the business. CBPE will enter as the majority shareholder.
