We know your audience. But what do you know about us?

We’re Cxense. We revolutionize individual online customer experiences to increase your digital revenue. With our insight, we make experiences memorable, relevant, and engaging.

We’re a Norwegian innovation success story, founded by a team of bright engineers and industry insiders in 2010. Many of them came from a company called FAST, which was sold to Microsoft for 1.2bn USD in 2008. 

To celebrate the sale, some of the ex-FAST team went on a cabin trip. 

They gathered high up in the Norwegian mountains to discuss a vision they shared for a new company (and to do some skiing, of course).

After working day and night on their vision, they came up with their idea: to create the ultimate tool for website owners to know what their audience wants, and deliver on that promise. 

It was a vision defined by no longer needing to search for relevancy, but relevancy finding you.

A vision about people, not companies; about aspiration, intent and individuality. About memorable experiences delivered to an engaged individual.

The company grew rapidly and now tracks more than two billion user profiles on behalf of more than 200 customers globally, on more than 17,500 sites, all in real-time.

Today, we help businesses succeed in a digital world. Using audience data and advanced real-time analytics, we create hyper-relevant content recommendations (including video) and a personalized user experience that helps you increase your digital revenue and build a sustainable digital business model. 

We work with brands such as Rakuten, Aeon, Wall Street Journal, LIFULL, South China Morning Post, Winnipeg Free Press, Grupo Clarin, NBC Universal, and many more.
