We are thrilled and grateful to have been chosen for this industry honor

Since our inception we have worked to revolutionize online marketing, to help brands engage with their consumers in a highly effective way, and to track that interaction to educate brands on consumer behavior. Being selected as a Red Herring Global finalist is a great testament to what we have created so far.

Brickfish social media campaigns enable brands and agencies to launch online marketing campaigns that get consumers engaged in a meaningful brand dialogue. Consumers create exciting, personalized brand-focused user-generated content (UGC) and virally share the campaign and their content with their vast social networks via widgets, IM, blogs, email and more. Campaign participants interact with the brand campaign in a variety of ways that include creating, reviewing, sharing, voting upon, and watching brand-relevant content. This powerful viral marketing vehicle generates extensive brand awareness, engagement, reach and results.

The company has powered campaigns for some of the world’s premier brands, including Samsung, Kodak, Clinique, Origins, Intuit and Parfums Givenchy, which generated between 125,000 and 1.3 million branded engagements per campaign. Brickfish uses a Cost Per Engagement® (CPE®) model in which advertisers only pay for actions taken with the brand.
