Our take
It can often appear that the more companies spend on digital marketing, the less engagement and ROI they get back. Meanwhile, consumer trust in advertising is plummeting, and third-party cookies are rapidly disappearing. Mention Me offers a marketing platform to make it easy and effective for companies to conduct referral marketing.
Referrals are one of the best ways to grow a business and can be the most valuable marketing channel, and the company helps businesses make the most of this channel, supporting referral programs in 16 languages. However, Mention Me's biggest draw is the ability to A/B test, iterate and measure campaigns so that they work best for the cohort they target. The company already has over 450 customers, including FarFetch, Ovo Energy, Ted Baker and ZipCar.
Mention Me's vision to make every brand think advocacy-first, and is supported by its fast-growing partner network. Backed by Octopus Ventures and Eight Roads through recent funding raised, and operating within a market expected to significantly grow in upcoming years, the company is well placed to attempt to reach this goal.
