I’m really looking forward to engaging with the newly-launched MiQ Sigma, which gives clients a powerful advantage: the ability to plan, activate, and measure across multiple platforms without fragmentation—unlocking greater efficiency and performance,” said Andy Barnet, MiQ’s Managing Director, West.
