The newsletter has grown quite a bit in the last six months. ?
However, some of the new folks don’t necessarily know what Nudge does.
Quick pitch from me then,
Nudge is a content marketing analytics platform that drives performance for leading brand advertisers and premium publishers. It provides transparency and intelligence for brands seeking to understand, optimize and maximize return on their content investment across multiple publishing partners. Nudge provides verified measurement to empower publishers to drive revenue and scale their branded content businesses.
^ That’s us. If you’d like to see a demo, or learn more just email us or visit the website.
And that’s why I do this newsletter, to help sort through the noise.
As the industry continues to evolve, I would love your feedback on this should evolve too.
