Our take
Landing pages are one of the most fundamental parts of a business' online presence. A standalone web page that a person "lands" on after clicking through from an email, ad, or other digital location, is often fundamental to its marketing and sales strategy.
Founded in 2009, Unbounce is best known for developing platforms that allow marketers to create landing pages without investing in their own web developers. The company touts more than 1 billion conversions since its founding, with thousands of customers worldwide including Zola, Fifty & Fifty, and the New York Times.
This success has cemented it as one of the leading players in the market, and has attracted major investor interest across multiple rounds. Though not unaffected by the economic situation at large (the company layed off a number of staff in 2022), Unbounce nonetheless seems positive in its future, and continues to expand its offering, most lately with a tool that allows marketers to generate relevant ad copy for multiple platforms by simply inserting a URL.
