Our take

Brands are always looking for new ways to test their products and improve the user experience of their customers. SoPost helps brands do just this through its product sampling campaigns, focusing on relevance, data, and analytics for their clients.

Narrowing down the most useful consumers for a brand through the places they interact online, SoPost collects valuable contact and demographic information from recipients and analyses both qualitative and quantitative feedback on purchase intent and recommendations. All of this creates a clear picture for clients on how to improve their products.

SoPost's growth trajectory has been significant and it's one of the fastest-growing UK companies named on the Top 50 Most Ambitious Leaders list and one of the fastest-growing marketing technology businesses. Used by 200+ brands around the world, including the biggest and most prestigious beauty and cosmetics companies, the company isn't slowing down any time soon. With a recent partnership with ShiseidoUKI, SoPost is ready for even more growth.
