Four blueprints, compounding across your media portfolio.
What we do
B2B is not B2C
Long sales cycles, buying committees of six to ten people and risk-averse decision-makers mean consumer playbooks fail. These are the capabilities we bring to that problem.
Measurement & Incrementality
Marketing mix modeling, multi-touch attribution and matched-market testing used together — so you can tell which media created demand rather than harvested demand you already had.
See how we measure →Answer Engine Optimization
Be the source AI platforms retrieve, cite and recommend. We track whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity recommend you, present you neutrally, or steer buyers to a competitor.
Explore AI search →Media Planning & Activation
Programmatic, connected TV, paid social, creators, publishers and partnerships — planned against business outcomes and customer lifetime value, not channel targets.
Brand & Demand Creation
Build the mental availability that makes you the brand a buyer thinks of first, so the demand your performance media captures keeps growing instead of flattening.
All of it runs on blu — Horizon’s proprietary marketing platform, built AI-native and without legacy tech debt.
