As we continue to scale our global consumer data products, this alliance was a natural fit that enables current and future clients to get a best-in-class integrated offering. Our clients will now have access to the power of Turnstile’s highly accurate global valuations, powered by over $USD2.5 billion dollars of sponsorship market benchmarks. Our aim is to provide our clients with the best sponsorship measurement solutions, and we think the alliance with Turnstile is an important part of this commitment.”
