# Shapes + Numbers

Shapes + Numbers is a London-based AI infrastructure company that specializes in building intelligent operating systems for advertising agencies. Rather than adding another layer of disconnected tools to already fragmented tech stacks, they architect comprehensive data infrastructure that consolidates ERP systems, CRM platforms, project management tools, media platforms and creative applications into a single, unified backbone.

The company serves mid to enterprise-level advertising agencies and their leadership teams who struggle with scattered data across multiple systems and lack the operational intelligence needed to drive profitability. Their ideal clients are forward-thinking agency leaders seeking competitive advantage through data-driven decision-making.

Shapes + Numbers stands out through two core offerings. Nexus is their data infrastructure-as-a-service solution that integrates fragmented technology stacks, enriches data with third-party sources, and automates operational workflows. Vector is their AI-powered financial intelligence platform purpose-built for agency operations, providing real-time profitability visibility by client, business line, project and team, alongside scenario modelling and revenue forecasting capabilities.

What differentiates them is their focus on foundational AI operating systems rather than point solutions. They reject the industry trend of chasing shiny AI tools in favour of rebuilding how agencies actually work from the ground up. Their Workshops offer pragmatic assessment without theoretical frameworks or vendor pitches, helping agencies identify where AI delivers measurable value specific to their operations.
