Our take
CrowdRiff was established after the founders saw the explosion in visual content being shared at a scale like never before, and the power of these visuals to influence consumer decisions. As a result, they set out to help the travel and tourist community make the most of this shift in the market.
CrowdRiff's platform makes it easier for marketers to showcase their destinations visually, which drives engagement and tourism revenue. Its solutions are now used by over 800 tourist brands, including Marketing Greece and Tourism Australia. This is a testament to the value of its marketing products.
CrowdRiff is now the leading visual and social marketing provider for the travel and tourism industry. This is largely down to the company's ability to remain agile and to offer destinations a wide variety of individual products, tools and projects. It will need to maintain this level of innovation if it's to draw even more clients to its books.
