Mr Collins said SuperAwesome is a "bridge" for brands to reach this new audience, which is immersed in technology from a young age.

The company has already attracted partners including firms such as Warner Bros, Lego, Mattel, Hasbro and Nintendo.

In 2014, SuperAwesome began its assault on the US market with the acquisition of mobile advertising network MobiGirl Media.

In 2015, the marketing platform raised $7 million in venture capital funding from investors including IBIS TMT, Twenty Ten Capital, Sandbox & Co and Mr Collins’s own investment firm Hoxton Ventures.
