Our Company
A Word About Extole
Our mission is to remake marketing by driving customer activation, not only customer acquisition. The brands we serve are the finest in the world, and each one understands that reaching and motivating the Millennial means creating an active, authentic voice and spreading that voice through the social channels they respect, not through traditional ads.
We believe that the brands of the future will be valued on the level of activity of their customer base. Period.
Our platform is built on a near-obsessive desire for low-friction and high-engagement and we pride ourselves on the massive volume of referrals we have generated for our customers.
We are built by a fabulous group of individuals who care. And we are backed by an astonishing group of investors and their funds including Norwest, Red Point, Scale, Shasta, and Trident.
