Three For Three: Origin Delivers Third Consecutive Record-Breaking Quarter in 2026.
Three quarters down. Three targets beaten. Three all-time records smashed.
Origin closed Q3 2026 at 115% of the company target we set for the quarter, extending what has become a truly exciting run: every quarter of 2026 has now set a new company benchmark.
More importantly, the growth continues to compound.
Revenue in Q3 increased 31% compared with the same quarter in 2025, and was 64% higher than Q3 2024. For a company who only recently celebrated its 7th anniversary, those numbers matter. They demonstrate that our growth is not being driven by a single breakout period or category, but by the continued adoption of Origin’s proprietary creative technology across brands, agencies and an expanding range of CTV use cases.
And, encouragingly, with more ‘upfront’ and ‘Full Year’ deals for 2027 either signed or in negotiation than in any previous year, we are more confident than ever that the progress we are making is anything but a 'moment'.
Q4 is already shaping up strongly, with growing confidence that Origin could close 2026 with a fourth consecutive record-breaking quarter and, as a result, another record-breaking year. That momentum is also being supported by the arrival of Todd Goldberg, Origin’s new Head of Programmatic Partnerships, whose focus on accelerating adoption among agency and platform programmatic teams gives us an important new avenue for growth alongside our existing ‘direct deal’ relationships.
But perhaps the most important thing about another record quarter is what it allows us to do next.
Our intention is to use this growth as a springboard for greater investment across the company. Among other things, it means:
Increasing R&D around our creative technology as we inch closer to real-time, code-free dynamic production.
Accelerating development in new products currently under construction such as pause ads capable of being personalized at a household level.
Continuing to strengthen the operational and adtech infrastructure beneath our products. It means investing in additional talent.
Putting more weight behind marketing Origin itself - something which, as an entirely bootstrapped company, we've tended to steer away from.
Growth, for us, has never simply been about making the number bigger.
It gives us the resources to build faster. It provides us with a 'warchest' that allows us to navigate tricky seasons. Critically, it allows us to think further ahead and continue closing the gap between what CTV creative has traditionally been capable of and what we believe it should become.
Three for three feels good. But feeling good is not our goal.
What it enables us to build next feels considerably more important.
