Our take
Campaigning, whether for a brand, a charitable cause, or a political office, is getting harder by the year. Siloed demographics, patchy data, and bad market research means many messages aren’t getting through - something that Swayable is looking to change.
The company essentially runs randomized A/B testing on campaign videos to see which is the most persuasive for their clients. Swayable pulls demographic audiences from sites like Facebook, Amazon Mechanical Turk, and Fiverr, and returns analysed performance results to its customers within 12-24 hours.
This kind of rapid-turnaround market insight is crucial for organizatinos looking to fine-tune their messaging. It won the company itself good business, too - Swayable began with Y-Combinator, and has gone on to score a remarkable slate of clients including the Biden Harris campaign, Amazon, Airbnb, and Paramount.
Swayable’s express commitment to truth-telling and fighting misinformation is a smart play in today’s climate. With an impressive team of physicists and founders at the helm, Swayable is in a strong position to continue winning big business.

Company values
- Experiment - Our work is an experiment, from the company itself down to each feature and client discussion. Every belief is a hypothesis we are validating. We measure clear metrics to determine success
- Empathy - Everything we do starts with empathy: for customers, respondents, and each other. We work hard to actively understand real problems
- Fail fast - Most experiments don't succeed. We need to do lots of them efficiently, to find the winners. Which means we aim to fail fast, and not punish failure
- Zero-drama professionalism - Success means contributing to a strong culture of problem-solving and owning the outcome that supports everyone doing their best work at all times
- Debate and commit - We are not conflict-averse over ideas. We always play the ball, not the person. Once we take a decision, all of us commit 100% to supporting it
- Agile design thinking - We nurture the early ideas of others and are intentional about when we do divergent thinking (building new ideas) versus convergent thinking (narrowing and selecting options). We use agile practices to adapt to new information
- Caring meritocracy - We challenge and support everyone to become their absolute best, so we have star performers in every role and people have strong career trajectories
- Feedback culture - We strive to create a strong culture of constructive supportive feedback in all our work so that we are continually improving
