Overview

Linkable Networks operates a direct-to-consumer, card-linked loyalty platform that connects retailers and CPG brands to consumers across online, mobile and in-store channels. The company pioneered card-linked-offers and promotes an always-on loyalty model that eliminates printing, clipping and scanning. Its platform directly connects to more than 200 million credit and debit cardholders, enabling attribution and optimization of advertising spend. Linkable announced $11.7 million in funding to drive product enhancements and provide working capital for scaling. The company plans to double its staff over six months with hires focused on development, client support and sales, and has added three senior executives to its leadership team. Since 2011 it has developed both self-service and SaaS-based platforms and is expanding an omnichannel affiliate network called Omnyverse. Clovr Media has built a platform that converts banners, text links, videos and mobile ads into card‑linked offers (CLOs) to modernize digital couponing and loyalty programs. The company connects advertisers and preferred brands with consumers via credit and debit cards, enabling offers to be delivered through financial institutions. Its system links interactive advertising spend to actual consumer purchases, providing clicks‑to‑bricks tracking and analytics. Advertisers can present discounts during purchase consideration and deliver immediate rewards after a transaction posts. The product removes the need for point‑of‑sale integration, mail‑in rebates or paper coupons; discounts appear directly on consumers' bank statements. Clovr positions itself as leading the next phase of loyalty and digital couponing. Clovr Media is a Boston-based developer of a platform that provides financial institutions and advertisers a new way to bring Card Linked Offers (CLOs) to their customers. The company has built technology that converts banner, text-link, video, or mobile ads into CLOs. These CLOs provide savings and reward experiences that reflect customers’ needs and preferences and create opportunities to build lasting customer relationships. Clovr Media was founded and is led by Tom Burgess, a seasoned executive who previously founded Third Screen Media (acquired by AOL/Time Warner in 2007). On 19 October 2010 the company received $1.5M in seed funding from Kepha Partners and CommonAngels. The platform targets financial institutions and advertisers seeking to deliver personalized offers and rewards to cardholders.
