Salary benchmarks
Our take
Marketers know they can do more with their data to improve how they target and address customers - but many find these new processes hard to adopt. fifty-five is helping brands collect, analyse and activate their data across paid, earned and owned channels to increase their marketing ROI and improve customer acquisition and retention.
fifty-five operate with data across the whole lifecycle and from every touchpoint, bringing it altogether to help inform smarter strategies. The company is a certified Google Partner company and was named by Deloitte as one of the fastest-growing tech firms in Europe. It has served the likes of L’Oreal, Danone, AXA and Orange among its clients.
Amidst record growth in 2022, fifty-five underwent a stylish rebrand and product expansion to bring new services to its clientele. This cemented its position as a strong option for businesses who want to make the most out their data for a competitive edge.
