Our story
Our story officially starts long before our founding. Like, a really long time before.
Ogury takes its name from the ancient practice of ‘Augury’. In the days of the Roman empire this was the practice of interpreting omens and predicting the future by observing the flight patterns of birds.
Fast forward a few thousand years, and our Co-Founders Jean Canzoneri and Thomas Pasquet had an omen. An omen they believed so confidently in, they were prepared to take life-changing action. What was it? That the signals contained in user journeys on mobile, combined with technology, could be turned into data that predicts human behaviors, intentions, and interests. They searched and discovered no such technology existed. Ogury was born.
Together with a band of mobile misfits, data crazy-ones, AI action-takers and visionary investors, Jean & Thomas have created something that is changing the advertising world as we know it.
