For years, agencies have struggled to track how people were allocated across accounts and management teams. This was typically done with spreadsheets, email and scraps of paper. Namely replaces all of this with a robust database and elegant visualizations of all of the people on a particular account.
Namely provides secure access to a company’s own data from anywhere in the world. Account team info, employee allocations and work history are available through the platform in seconds.
Namely is led by professionals from the advertising and technology industry. Founder and CEO Matt Straz served as senior partner for seven years at MEC, the global media buying agency. Matt also co-founded Pictela, the ad platform that was acquired by AOL in 2010.
The investors behind Namely include over a dozen executives from some of the world’s most important advertising and technology companies.
Together they have invested $1 million in Namely.
