Vungle acquires GameRefinery, a mobile gaming analytics company headquartered in Finland. The company’s contextual data sets bring targeting capabilities to Vungle’s platform, which will help advertisers deliver contextually relevant campaigns and increase user acquisition performance in the privacy-focused, post-IDFA landscape. 

GameRefinery also brings image recognition and creative tagging capabilities that will be leveraged by Vungle Creative Labs (VCL). Combining VCL’s experience in creative and UA, with reporting on visual elements including styles and genre fit, provides performance recommendations for its customers. 

“Together, Vungle, GameRefinery, and Algolift offer the only platform that speaks to game and product teams in the development process, marketing, UA, and growth teams in the scaling stage, and data teams when measuring and refining outcomes,” says Jeremy Bondy, CEO of Vungle, adding, “We are excited to welcome a remarkable GameRefinery team to the Vungle family and have never been stronger in our position as the trusted guide for developers.” 

“At GameRefinery, we are very proud to have built a differentiated mobile game analytics platform to help our clients excel at game development, creative performance, and targeting,” shares Markus Råmark, Co-founder & CEO of GameRefinery.

“We couldn’t be more excited to join Vungle’s team with our shared vision of building leading-edge game analytics and proprietary creative intelligence to help game developers design, advertise, and monetize their mobile games,” adds Råmark.

“The combined offering will enable Vungle to touch our advertisers across multiple areas of our platform with deeper creative analysis and insights, contextual targeting recommendations, and reporting,” shares Martin Price, Vice President of Product at Vungle.

“Given the privacy-related changes to iOS 14 and the industry at large, it is more important now than ever to find inventive ways of understanding the context of ad placement and driving better creative targeting. The GameRefinery acquisition gives us a richer suite of data to let us do exactly that. GameRefinery and Vungle are both integral partners for Huuuge Games and have also helped grow our loyal user base over the past few years. Both companies are very aligned with what mobile game developers are looking for; the fact that they have now joined forces now means that we will have access to a fantastic arsenal of tools that will help us grow even further in a post-IDFA, contextual world,” expresses Anton Gauffin, CEO of Huuuge Games.

GameRefinery’s co-founders Markus Råmark, Veli-Pekka Julkunen, and Joel Julkunen, as well as the entire GameRefinery team, will join the Vungle organization. The team will continue to operate out of the company’s offices in Helsinki.
