The award winning Phrasee team based in Putney

Phrasee which uses artificial intelligence to write better marketing language than humans by combining natural language generation and machine learning, scooped two awards with ‘Best New Business’ and CEO Parry Malm as ‘Tech Entrepreneur of the Year’ at the inaugural UK Business Awards.



Phrasee launched in February, 2015, and now employees 15 people at their headquarters here in Putney. Their software uses A.I. to write better marketing language than humans, and they boast a who’s who of large global brands on their client roster.

Co-founder & CEO Parry Malm told this website:
“Given that it is Global Entrepreneurship Week, I’m incredibly proud to receive these awards. London’s tech economy is galvanising the country’s confidence, and we’re proud to be trailblazing the UK’s path towards entrepreneurship and tech innovation.”

Malm was also recognised with the ‘Tech Entrepreneur of the year’ award. “I’m humbled to be selected as the UK’s top tech entrepreneur for 2016. It’s a testament to one thing, and one thing alone – my ability to surround myself with awesome people. This trophy is reflective of their talent, not mine.”

"As an immigrant myself, I hope Phrasee’s prestigious award wins prove that London is open,” noted Malm, originally from Vancouver, Canada. “London’s tech economy is a testament to the amazing people who are a part of it – from the UK, Canada, Europe, and everywhere else. Without access to such intelligent and ingenious people, we’d never be able to pioneer A.I. in Putney like we are.”

Congratulating the winners, Lindsay Hunter, Events Manager of Awards International, said:
“We are truly inspired by all the initiatives showcased at the the inaugural UK Business Awards. We have learned about many outstanding business initiatives from companies who are excelling in their field. It was a pleasure to share their passion whilst hearing their presentations in the morning and to congratulate and share the success with the winners during the afternoon.”
