Our take
Helsinki-based Supermetrics is a data integration platform making it easy for marketers and business intelligence teams to analyse data from popular ad platforms such as Facebook, Google and Twitter and integrate them into their preferred analytics and data warehouse platforms.
Despite competition from companies such as Fivetran and Adverity, the company boasts an impressive client list, including Nestlé, Warner Bros., and L’Oréal. This is owed to its variety of products, such as Supermetrics for Google Sheets, Excel, and BigQuery.
Supermetrics' success is product-led, and due to the increase in demand for its offerings, the company witnessed a growth of 40% YoY in 2022. Going forward, the company is focused on continuing its strong growth path and hopes to at least double its turnover. It's also emphasising its presence in the US market as important and expects to grow fast.
