The concept of turning the marketing inside out, enabling the founders and teams of all the great companies we work with to be the voice of the community is incredibly powerful.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 01, 2014
Catapult Chicago, a digital start-up community located in the heart of Chicago’s River North neighborhood, is partnering with silicon valley software start-up Dynamic Signal to help activate its start-up community members as advocates, bringing more exposure, awareness and reach to their entire network of entrepreneurs.
Founded by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, Catapult Chicago’s mission is to help grow the next generation of technology startups in Chicago.
“We are always looking for innovative new ways to market what we do,” says Michelle Soble, Marketing Director of Catapult Chicago. “The concept of turning the marketing inside out, enabling the founders and teams of all the great companies we work with to be the voice of the community is incredibly powerful. Nobody knows our story better than us, so it’s been exciting to see this program take shape.”
Catapult Chicago is off to a fast start with their advocacy program, with many of the companies they work with already engaged.
“This is an exciting relationship for Dynamic Signal,” says CEO Russ Fradin. “Having been a start-up founder and investor, I know first-hand what it takes to gain traction and break through within a given market. We’re proud to enable these start-ups to have a voice, and lead by example through our technology and experience.”
Dynamic Signal, an industry leader in the advocacy marketing category, powers programs for hundreds of companies, including many fortune 500 brands. Its VoiceStorm platform enables a brand’s employees, partners, or customers to be advocates, by utilizing mobile and web technologies that seamlessly share news and announcements on behalf of the company directly to their personal social connections.
