Jolt Digital s Sebastien Lepez discusses J-Cal launch
With strong competition between agencies, creating IP or technology is one strategy to standing out. The Drum speaks to Jolt Digital founder Sebastian Lepez about his ambition to transform the media buying process, and win a few clients along the way.
Independent agency Jolt Digital has launched its own planning tool, J-Cal, which aims to replace ‘gut feeling’ with technology and science, a move that founder Sebastian Lepez believes is a long time coming from agencies.
Lepez says he set out to make a tool that removed the cost and resource needed for media mix modelling, or econometric-based studies, which was previously only in reach of the world’s biggest advertisers and agencies.
