Sales lead: Reach out to this emerging company to offer ad space and marketing assistance. 

  • WeGift named Brendan Miller CMO, effective November 2022.
  • Miller most recently served as VP and global marketing strategy & operations head of Rapyd. 
  • He will now lead the company's marketing strategy.
  • The company also recently finalized a Series B funding round to support NA expansion. 

WeGift's target demographic: Businesses that need assistance offering rewards, refunds, & rebates 

The company will likely:

  • Outsource some marketing duties to agency partners
  • Ramp up ad spend
  • Diversify ad placement

Digital and social insights (digital ad spend, effectiveness, impressions, and performance)

  • YTD spend: WeGift spent just $3.4k on digital display ads YTD. 
  • YTD data: 437.3k impressions via Facebook. 
  • Last year: Full-year spend skyrocketed from $500 in 2020 to $101.9k in 2021. 
  • Ad location: It placed 100% of these ads directly onto facebook.com. 

Agency analysis:

  • Opportunity: Reach out to the new CMO now to be top-of-mind.
    • WeGift does not work with any agencies at this time to the best of my knowledge.
    • I recommend offering PR/communication services first.
