Augmented brand protection, in practice
A Bridge programme is crawling, analysis, takedowns, investigations, strategy, and case management, run as one practice.
What a programme includes
Crawling and data
Bridge crawls live, so the data stays fresh. We cover unauthorised brand use and brand-related transactions across marketplaces, social media, apps, standalone sites, and domain registrations. The point is coverage investigators can use today, not a feed nobody reads.
Filtering and analysis
Each result is assessed and vetted by analysts, then categorised, stored, and actioned. The software is built to keep the work moving: less noise, fewer duplicate alerts, more time on the cases that matter.
Enforcements
Takedowns target high-volume and multi-listing sellers. Published compliance is 99 percent on marketplaces, 93 percent on social, and 83 percent on websites and domains, counted as notices actioned over the previous 12 months. Online enforcement is the baseline, not the highlight.
Desktop and on-the-ground investigations
Investigations start as in-house desktop research on high-impact sellers, then move on the ground with brand owners, authorities, or local investigators. Investigating is in the corporate DNA, not an add-on SKU.
Strategy and reporting
Strategy and reporting are a joint effort with your team: abuse trends, where to spend, and what to do next, so the programme actually helps the business. The output is not a monthly numbers dump.
Case management
Proprietary case management turns detections into intelligence you can take beyond takedowns, into the physical supply chain, so the next listing is not a surprise.
Questions people ask us
What does a Bridge programme include?
Crawling, AI-assisted analysis, takedowns, investigations, strategy, and case management. They run as one programme, not as six disconnected tools.
Do you investigate offline?
Yes. Desktop research is in-house. On-the-ground work is scoped with the brand, authorities, or local investigators when the target is high-value enough.
How do you handle grey market versus counterfeit?
They are classified differently, then often investigated together, because genuine leaks and fake product frequently share wholesale networks. Software that only scores a logo will miss that.
What do the 99, 93, and 83 percent figures mean?
They are takedown compliance: the share of submitted notices actioned in the previous 12 months on marketplaces, social, and websites or domains. They are not alert counts.
Is Bridge a software platform?
We have built a sophisticated platform, and state-of-the-art AI powers much of the success it creates. Investigators and IP specialists still do the enforcement and the follow-through. It is not a tool for your team to run on their own.
