Overview

LoudCrowd offers a SaaS marketing platform that enables brands to measure the value of customers’ user-generated content (UGC), create incentives for customers to produce branded social content, and engage programmatically on social media. Its feature set includes UGC analytics to identify high-value customers and content, tools to engage and reward those customers, capabilities to scale ambassador programs, and automated rewards programs to encourage social posting. Customers named in the article include Kendo Brands, Oh Polly, and Ryderwear. The company is led by Co-Founder and CEO Gary Garofalo and is based in Austin, TX. LoudCrowd intends to use the seed proceeds to develop several new products aimed at automating social marketing engagement, benchmarking brands, and measuring customer lifetime value (LTV). It also plans to hire across engineering, sales, and marketing to support growth. LoudCrowd offers a cloud-based marketing platform that enables brands to scale word-of-mouth by incentivizing customers to create content, connecting with customers on an individualized basis, and measuring the value of user-generated content. The platform lets brands create incentives for customers to produce content and provides tools to track that content's impact. The company says this approach turns existing customers into vocal brand supporters at scale. LoudCrowd raised a pre-seed round to support initial growth and product development. The capital will be used to hire additional engineers and designers to ramp up growth. Founded in March 2019 by Justin Papermaster and Gary Garofalo, the company is focused on expanding its product and customer adoption.
