Our take
With content consumerism on the rise, more businesses are seeking out support in marketing and communication to keep up with the evolving standards. Described as the “uber of content” Social Native is a marketplace technology company that empowers marketers to create, source and optimise visual content.
Social Native is an AI-powered creative platform founded in 2015. Since then it’s expanded its offerings now providing support in Ecommerce, Social Media, In-store/Offline, Email Marketing and Digital Advertising. The platform is not only able to deliver the content but strategise, optimise, automate mundane tasks and share insights with customers. The client roster now consists of the likes of L’Oréal, Crocs and Nestlé.
In 2020 the company acquired Olapic, a user-generated content enterprise solution for eCommerce retailers. This acquisition allowed the company to change how marketers evaluate, refine and optimise their visual content strategy, bringing it closer to becoming an all-in-one platform.
