Influencer marketing platform Buzzoole today announced its US market expansion by opening a new office in NYC. The US market is a strategic growth opportunity that comes shortly after their UK expansion in late 2016, that has resulted in tremendous growth.
Buzzoole was established in 2014 and has since become the de-facto influencer marketing company in its native Italy. The platform already has over 250,000 opt-in influencers globally signed up and uses an influencer affinity algorithm to match brands to creators. Brands are then able to use the platform to select, activate and manage multiple social posts simultaneously.
While the US market is a saturated when it comes to influencers, the opportunity was rigorously evaluated by its executive team, and ultimately decided that the New York office was an opportunity to define the category from a global perspective. Buzzoole combines artificial intelligence, campaign services, real-time campaign analytics measuring true reach, in exclusive collaboration with Nielsen, to provide a true end to end solution that aligns Influencer Marketing with the larger Omni-channel approach.
Buzzoole has appointed Jenni Morrison as the US country manager. Morrison has prior experience in the Influencer space and emerging technology, responsible for cultivating strategic revenue partnership in line with Buzzoole’s 200% growth plan for 2018.
