MiQ unveils Sigma platform at Sydney’s MiQ House

MiQ has launched its inaugural MiQ House event in Sydney, using the three-day gathering to unveil its new programmatic technology platform, Sigma, and set out priorities for 2026.

Held on the 88th floor of Crown Towers’ Presidential villa, MiQ House welcomed more than 100 guests from agencies and brands. The event combined client sessions with demonstrations of Sigma, which the company describes as the first technology able to unify the programmatic ecosystem.

Sigma brings together more than 300 data feeds and 700 trillion consumer signals to provide insights into viewing, browsing and purchasing behaviour. Powered by AI, the platform supports planning, audience curation and activation across digital environments.

Future priorities and partnerships

MiQ used the event to outline its 2026 pillars, including the expansion of its “TV is everywhere” message through investment in total TV planning across BVOD, SVOD, YouTube and social video. The company also plans to grow its commerce offering through new data partnerships and maintain its “people powered, tech enabled” positioning.

Two recent partnerships were highlighted: with OzTAM, integrating VOZ currency data into MiQ’s cross-platform tool TVi, housed within Sigma, and with Lifesight, enabling advanced location intelligence and measurement. Additional partnerships are expected to follow.

Industry response

Marcelle Hoyek, National Managing Director, iProspect, said: “We saw some incredible technology at MiQ House. The breadth of capability it provides for our clients is way beyond what we expected. It’s super impressive for our clients and our business moving forward.”

I’m excited about the range of different options and the ability to create a bespoke Sigma platform tailored to how partners and their clients need to view it.”

Across six sessions held over three days, attendees were hosted against the backdrop of Sydney Harbour and dined with menus from Oncore, Nobu, Woodcut and a’Mare.

Chris Freel, MiQ Chief Revenue Officer ANZ, said: “It was fantastic to bring our key client and agency partners together at MiQ House to showcase our Sigma technology platform and share our exciting roadmap for 2026.
