This increase has been driven by the growth in marketing channels which has attracted greater awareness of TrafficGuard’s hyper scale product.

TrafficGuard is monitoring the sign up and conversion rates from Freemium subscriber to paying customer, and can scale up as required, depending on cost of acquisition vs lifetime value. The Freemium model provides Adveritas with:

  • a large base of users to which it can upsell other current and future products; and

  • data from multiple verticals and multiple countries to further enhance the TrafficGuard offering

To support the increasing number of enterprise trials taking place as well as conversions from Freemium subscribers to paying customers, Adveritas has been investing in its sales and marketing team and marketing initiatives. The growth in sales and marketing capabilities is expected to underpin further rapid growth in Freemium subscriber and paying customer numbers.

Adveritas Co-founder & CEO Mat Ratty said: “We are delighted to have further expanded our client base. With millions of Companies using Google PPC as part of their marketing strategy, it provides an extremely large addressable market that TrafficGuard can capture. Both our enterprise level and Freemium pipeline continues to grow, with several well-known global brands currently trialling TrafficGuard and some in legal review. We remain confident that the TrafficGuard solution will be chosen as their anti-fraud offering and look forward to building on our recent positive momentum to sign further new clients in the coming months.”

This announcement is authorised for lodgement by the Board of Adveritas Limited.
