Company mission

To find innovative ways to drive growth for our customers, and to connect brands with consumers in rapidly growing markets.

-1% employee growth in 12 months

Our take

Ampush is helping direct-to-consumer advertisers reach new audiences with in-feed social media content. Founded in 2009, the company initially focused on mastering Facebook advertising. Since then, Ampush have gained a reputation for quantitative, full-funnel profitable growth marketing for mobile devices across various popular social media platforms.

This proved a smart move for the company. In 2021 the majority of web traffic is mobile, and this proportion is only expected to grow going forwards. Whilst the market is broadening out, Ampush have focused on a smaller number of deep relationships with big-name clients, including Uber and Mastercard. Cementing a stable, substantial customer base has helped Ampush establish a strong presence in a growing and important field.
