Today marks my one year anniversary at Placer.ai. 365 days in the blink of an eye! Reflecting on the past year fills me with gratitude not only for what we've accomplished but for the incredible milestones ahead.
I "found" this industry over ten years ago with a little bit of luck and almost by mistake. At the time, I was buying media for a brand and was perplexed by a problem: our mobile advertising didn't convert. But why? I set out on a path to find a company that could help solve that problem, and it unlocked a series of events that has turned location analytics into my career path.
Since then, I've had the honor of working with some of the world's largest brands and organizations to uncover use cases far beyond media. It has been 10 years full of learning, asking questions, and creatively solving for big, real world problems in retail, commercial real estate, marketing, strategy, tourism, financial services, and more. A decade in, I find myself more excited than ever. I am proud to work for the market leader in location analytics and look forward to many years of growth and success to come.
I have to give a big thanks to the people at Placer who've made this company an empowering place to work and who have believed in me along the way. I come to work each day inspired, surrounded by a team that is relentless in its pursuit of greatness. And we have a lot of fun!

Promoting from within is more than just filling a role—it's about showing your team that growth and opportunity are genuinely on the table. When you elevate your existing talent, you’re not just finding someone who can do the job; you’re investing in someone who already understands the ins and outs of your company. They know the culture, the quirks, and the goals, which means they can hit the ground running with less of a learning curve.
Plus, there’s something incredibly motivating about seeing a colleague rise through the ranks. In the long run, promoting from within builds a stronger, more cohesive team. It shows that you value your people and their potential, and it creates a culture where continuous learning and development are not just encouraged but expected. It’s a win for everyone involved—employees feel valued, and the company benefits from their deeper commitment and expertise.
Congratulations Kate Foley Stitt!

The Great Acquisition Balancing Act!
I recently announced The Dee Set Group’s acquisition by Acosta Europe. Now that the dust has somewhat settled and a couple of the plates have stopped spinning, I'll be honest...
Leading an acquisition of this size was brutal!
Preparing the business for this next phase of growth was a huge undertaking and a full-time job in itself.
A few reflections:
1️⃣ When you’re talking due diligence, it really is a case of no stone left unturned.
2️⃣ Knowing who to bring in and when to bring them in is crucial. The amount of data required is wild and requires support from those closest to it, but timing also needs to be considered. I kept reminding myself that "No deal's done until it's done”.
3️⃣ Prioritising my health and energy levels was vital. I scheduled exercise in my calendar, prepped meals in advance and planned travel to allow for decent sleep ahead of big meetings.
4️⃣ Communicating the deal to our colleagues was by far the best piece of it all. To stand up and share the news was nothing short of magical.
5️⃣ What an experience! I’ve started businesses, I’ve lost businesses, I’ve acquired businesses and now I’ve experienced the other side of an acquisition.
It’s been a fascinating journey full of unknowns, firsts and lessons.
Managing this acquisition has been such a rewarding experience, and I’m looking forward to catching up with everyone in person over the next few months.
You can tell a lot about a business by your first few moments with them. At Fully Promoted, we believe that first impressions can truly make or break a deal. We are dedicated to ensuring that our service, commitment, and products stand out from the rest. Come consult with our team and witness the endless possibilities. #FirstImpressions#BusinessConsultation#Dedication#StandOut
