Shape by NinjaCat

Shape is now part of NinjaCat!

Shape has been acquired by NinjaCat, a digital marketing management platform built for agencies, media companies, and brands.

Over the last seven years, the team at Shape has been fixated on building pay-per-click management software that makes digital advertisers ruthlessly efficient in managing advertising spend at scale. We are fortunate to have found a partner in NinjaCat, a company which shares the same laser-like focus on improving digital marketers lives by automating marketing reporting.

Together, Shape and NinjaCat are accelerating the delivery of an all-in-one platform to store, report, monitor, analyze, and act on marketing data and spend at scale.
