Our take
CrowdRiff was established after the founders saw the the explosion in visual content being shared at a scale like never before, and the power of these visuals to influence consumer decisions. As a result, they set out to help the travel and tourist community make the most of this opportunity.
CrowdRiff's platform makes it easier for marketers to showcase their destinations visually, which drives engagement and tourism revenue. Their solutions are now used by over 800 tourist brands, including Marketing Greece and Tourism Australia. This is testament to the value of their marketing products.
CrowdRiff is now the leading visual and social marketing provider for the travel and tourism industry. This is largely down to their ability to remain agile, and to offer destinations a wide variety of individual products, tools and projects. They will need to maintain this level of innovation if they are to draw even more clients to their books.
