To help technology companies reach more customers, Digital Silk identified five examples of young tech brands that have successfully used digital marketing strategies to grow brand awareness and user base:
1. Canva
Sydney-headquartered Canva is an online graphic design platform with the perspective that great design can and should be more accessible.

The company is currently valued at USD 3.2 billion.
2. GetYourGuide
GetYourGuide, a Berlin-based bookings and travel platform, connects their user base with tours, attractions, classes, niche offerings and other immersive experiences.
GetYourGuide's customers are mainly the travel-savvy "city tripper" that consumes a mix of media and often come to them via Google or airline partnerships, which guides the company's digital marketing strategy.

4. iOFFICE
Houston's iOFFICE produces complex, highly-customizable products and applications to B2B partners that include space management tools, visitor tracking, desk reservations and conference apps, among others.
