The new one-year agreement, valued at USD 0,000 (CAD 5,000), is the biggest contract since Engagement Labs’ inception. It represents the third consecutive year that Engagement Labs will work with the Customer to provide continuous scoring and diagnostics for marketing and social campaigns in 10 markets around the world including in Europe, Latin America and Asia. The client increased its budget steadily since becoming a client in 2016 and the total budget spend is USD .912 million for the three year period.
