ONAR Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire AI-Powered Marketing Intelligence Platform Retina.ai, Trusted by Unilever, Dollar Shave Club & More
Miami, FL, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ONAR Holding Corporation (OTCQB: ONAR), a fast-growing marketing-technology company and network of performance-driven agencies, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Retina.ai, an AI-powered marketing intelligence platform that predicts customer value early in the lifecycle and unlocks higher return on every marketing dollar. ONAR plans to merge Retina.ai with its predictive analytics platform, Cortex, which is part of its ONAR Labs venture studio.
The merger of Retina.ai’s platform with Cortex’s machine learning engine will enable ONAR’s agencies to give brands real-time visibility into which customers will become their most profitable — before the first campaign dollar is spent. The Retina.ai platform is already relied on by leading consumer names including Unilever, Dollar Shave Club, quip, Madison Reed, SmartyPants Vitamins, Born Primitive, and Liquid I.V.
“Integration and measurement are the bedrock of smart marketing,” said Claude Zdanow, Chief Executive Officer of ONAR. “Retina.ai is a jewel in our tech stack. Combining it with Cortex sharpens our targeting, accelerates our growth initiatives, and ultimately magnifies long-term shareholder value.”
Strategic Highlights
Instant AI Upgrade – Adds deep-learning CLV prediction, churn forecasting, and campaign-level ROI modeling to every ONAR engagement.
Cross-Sell Powerhouse – Opens new revenue streams as Retina.ai’s SaaS subscriptions roll out across ONAR’s brand roster.
Data-Driven Culture – Unifies first-party and third-party data to give ONAR clients boardroom-ready insights in minutes, not months.
The terms of the acquisition are not disclosed.
