Our take
Resolver, formerly Crisp, is a pre-eminent name in the now-crowded field of social media monitoring services. The company was founded with the objective of identifying internet-based threats to children, and has since evolved into a provider of wider digital marketing services for its clients through the use of sophisticated artificial intelligence tools and a growing team of analysts.
After an acquisition by U.S. risk giant Kroll in 2024, Resolver is looking to synergise its services with its new parent company. Combining AI technology and real-time alerts with Kroll’s risk advisory expertise should significantly expand the value of Kroll’s offerings.
Perhaps the biggest reason for Resolver's former iteration as Crisp's success to date is its roots in online harm-detection. For example, the reputation it has built through operating in environments where analysts simply cannot make mistakes has been crucial to winning the trust of over 1000 brands. Resolver must hope that under new ownership, that reputation will be furnished rather than diluted.
