CBPE is excited to support Snigel’s significant expansion plans as the company builds on the market-leading results that Snigel’s technology and ad management teams deliver for publishers.

Headquartered in Dublin, Snigel is a global advertising technology business that enables publishers to grow their ad revenue while optimising the user experience and solving all data privacy requirements. Snigel’s leading results are driven by its proprietary technology platform, AdEngine, which leverages Machine Learning to match the optimal ad to each available impression, resulting in better outcomes for both publishers and advertisers. Snigel is continuing to build on its technological lead with a new wave of product releases including AI-powered ad setup optimisation tools, automated UI customisation and data analytics. Snigel also offers dedicated support and customised ad setups to each of its publisher customers through its global Ad Operations team.

Snigel was founded in 2012 by former Google executives and has established itself as the trusted monetisation partner to a fast-growing cohort of premium websites. The business is driven by a clear focus on publishers, contributing to a healthy AdTech ecosystem, and a collaborative culture of excellence. This, along with the deep technological expertise of Snigel’s team, has led to rapid revenue growth of over 40% CAGR since 2020. Snigel has been featured on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 list for three years in a row.

CBPE’s investment will allow Snigel to expedite growth in its core markets of Europe and the United States whilst expanding its market-leading technology offering.

The investment in Snigel continues CBPE’s successful track record of partnering with technology software and services companies and their management teams, including current investments in Mindera and The Key and past investments such as Xceptor.

The terms of the transaction have not been disclosed, but the founders remain shareholders alongside CBPE and the management team.

This exciting step for Snigel enables us to accelerate investment in our technology and commercial infrastructure to deliver even more value for our publisher partners. Publishers continue to be the core focus at Snigel. We are determined and inspired in our mission to drive long-term revenue growth and better user experiences for publishers so they can focus on creating great content and growing their audiences. While we spoke to many potential partners, our shared vision for growth with the CBPE team along with the collaborative and productive relationship we established together made them the ideal partner to support our ambitious growth plans.
