NEW YORK, NY, USA – Making Science, a technology and digital marketing consultancy specializing in e-commerce and digital transformation, announced today that it has acquired the Spanish company Agua3 Growth Engines, owner of the adtech technology platform Ad-machina. The acquisition adds a team of experts and its search engine campaign optimization platform, which is based on natural language generation to create advanced SEM (Search Engine Marketing) campaigns, to Making Science’s product portfolio.
Ad-machina, based in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, experienced remarkable growth throughout its three-year history and features a strong client portfolio with an expert team specializing in performance marketing technologies.

Their specialized team of engineers and experts is fully aligned with Making Science’s value proposition. The Ad-machina platform will allow us to strengthen our technology-focused value proposition and accelerate our national and international growth.”
As Making Science’s seventh global acquisition since its initial public offering, the deal contributes to the company’s rapid growth strategy, which includes international and domestic transactions. The acquisition highlights the company’s commitment to provide international offerings and invest in talent from around the globe.
“This transaction enables us to access Making Science’s extensive big data expertise and a team of experts so we can provide clients with a unique offering,” said Eduardo Sarciat, CEO of Ad-machina. “We are delighted to be part of Making Science’s unprecedented growth.”
Making Science entered the U.S. market in April of 2021 with the acquisition of 360 Conversion Analytics and continues to seek opportunities to expand.
Optimization in Search, thanks to Gauss AI
The acquisition will allow Making Science to offer a unique search strategy in the market, thanks to the combination of its flagship product Gauss AI and Ad-machina’s services. Gauss AI is a product capable of activating data through Artificial Intelligence and is designed to provide solutions in the digital marketing and sales environment. In this sense, the platform allows its users to know groups of consumers with homogeneous behaviors and similar characteristics to help the user correctly define their prospecting strategy.
The ability of Gauss AI to optimize campaigns through Machine Learning allows advertisers to have complete control of all their campaigns, while reducing risks through predictions such as the probability of conversion or the lifetime value of a user, generating intelligent audiences that can be activated from any Google Marketing Platform product.
Gauss AI is activated in a matter of one or two weeks, and connects to GMP, which allows it to collect data directly from both advertising platforms and Analytics 360, where it also saves the smart audiences that will later be activated in each of the GMP platforms: Search Ads 360, Display and Video 360, Optimize 360, etc.
