The funds will support the scaling of Connected IQ, including agency business development, platform enhancements - such as the AI agentic media planning tool and self-serve interface - and white-label licensing partnerships that offer a capital-light route to broader market penetration.
The remainder will provide general working capital to support the Group's ongoing overhead as it executes against its growth targets."
