Dr. Markus Düttmann

Dr Markus Düttmann has helped put data at the heart of everything DCMN does. Together with his colleague Dr Heiko Schmidle, he leads the company’s fast-growing team of data scientists, which overseas the integration of data-driven approaches in all of DCMN’s work, from advertising technology development to marketing campaign optimisation.

Dr Düttmann came to DCMN after the company bought realzeit, a Berlin-based adtech startup that he co-founded with Dr Schmidle and Christian Graf. A programmatic DSP, realzeit was a real-time bidding platform built on complex algorithms for targeting potential customers, optimising budgets, and clustering inventory and users.
