NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — OneSpot, the Content Sequencing® platform that powers cross-channel, individualized personalization for branded content marketing, today announced it has won the inaugural Advertising Week StartUp Pitch Competition, beating out 14 other finalist startups across AI, data, adtech, marketing technology, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) sectors. Advertising Week is the world’s largest gathering of industry leaders across advertising, technology, business, entertainment, marketing, media and social good.  

“OneSpot is honored to be selected as the inaugural winner of the Advertising Week StartUp Pitch and to be singled out among an impressive field of competing companies by such influential investor judges,” said Steve Sachs, CEO of OneSpot. “This award recognizes the power of the OneSpot platform and how AI can be employed to make content marketing personalized to individuals, more predictive, and drive quantifiable business results.”  

The Advertising Week StartUp Pitch Competition powered by VentureFuel is exclusively for businesses four years old and younger that have secured Series A funding or less. The event took place earlier this week at the Nasdaq Marketsite in New York City.

“The StartUp Pitch Competition was created to find the best of what’s shaping the future, and with the rise of content personalization as a critical business driver, OneSpot is doing just that,” said Elizabeth Petra, Bespoke Curator of Programming of Advertising Week. “OneSpot’s AI-driven platform provides measurable value to Fortune 2000 brands, and we’re excited to watch OneSpot continue to grow, innovate and transform the content personalization arena.”

“OneSpot wowed our various VC and CEO judges with their combination of personalization and scalability,” said Fred Schonenberg, Founder of VentureFuel. “To emerge from this amazing field of next generation innovation is a great accomplishment and bodes well for OneSpot’s continued success and growth.”
