This is a huge week for AudiencePlus and the Owned Media movement as we announce three major milestones: First, we've successfully secured $7.3M in financing with Emergence Capital, High Alpha, and PHX Ventures taking the lead. Also, a huge thanks to Dan Wright and Jon Runyan for coming in as angel investors. And a massive thanks to our customers and community for validating our mission. Over the past several months we've been heads down, talking to our audience and zeroing in on our product roadmap. What we’ve learned is that, although we’ve punched above our weight as a small team (10> FTEs), our messaging and positioning hasn’t effectively conveyed what our audience and customers needed. Today, we're excited to unveil the next evolution of Owned Media, which we’re calling “Audience Marketing.” The positioning, messaging, and most importantly the product is all being built in order to help marketing teams build better relationships with the audiences that they serve. (You can check out the brand new website for more details) And finally, we couldn’t be more excited to announce Colin Fleming, CMO of ServiceNow and the genius behind Salesforce+ will be joining AudiencePlus's strategic advisory board. Colin built Salesforce+ into one of the most successful marketing functions at Salesforce, adding $600 million in new pipeline in 2023. He will be a welcomed asset in helping us pioneer in a new stage at AudiencePlus so that our customers can find the same level of success! See more here: https://lnkd.in/eGJD_-g3
