Our take
Dublin-based, French-founded Rebrandly is a branded link management platform that allows users to securely brand, analyse, and share custom URLs. Born out of ClickMeter, the company’s tools shorten lengthy links, increase brand awareness, improve conversion rates, and track analytics.
Indeed, there are other players helping creators securely manage their content performance, but Rebrandly is the only SaaS link management platform of its kind to achieve SOC2 compliance; hence, customers can be confident that links are made safe and secure. It has worked with companies including PayPal, IBM Delta Air Lines, Land Rover, and Zillow, with offices across various continents.
The company is set for further expansion following a strategic 2022 investment led by Five Elms Capital. The significant investment will be used to accelerate growth (which has seen user growth already at 34% year over year), including the release of new products and features to optimise content performance. On the precipice of US and international expansion, this is an exciting moment for Rebrandly.
