And they hit the mark - in exactly 12 months, as of 25 June 2018, they have grown to 2.3 million followers, rising beyond expectations and posting a 590% year on year growth (June 2017 / June 2018).

Indeed some important international listed companies believed they could do without the complex social media but they now suffer from their fatal delay which generated huge economic damages and cast doubt on their positions.

Its unrivaled high quality information, its reputation and its human and computer science savviness make Artprice the winner of this global challenge, on a very low budget.
