Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Marketing teams are often under-resourced and over-stretched, and the 24/7 nature of the field only amplifies these difficulties. Yet, digital marketing continues to be a vital part of businesses marketing strategy as the opportunities for business success online continue to grow.
Croud has a unique approach to assisting digital marketers. It's propriety technology supports planning, automation and delivery of digital marketing campaigns. Croud's capability to deliver this at scale is supported by their "Croud Control" platform, a digital platform that links over 2,300 on-demand digital experts known as "Croudies" to clients.
Croud continues to expand its network of "Croudies" and the digital products available to clients. For example, its in-house "Croud Creative" team provides instant creative resources to media teams allowing them to create world-class campaigns. It also continues to make acquisitions to strengthen its position, and remains well regarded in the space.
