SocialWhirled Announces Record-Breaking Year, Enables Clients To Engage With More Than 150 Million People Across The Social-Mobile-Digital Landscape

PHOENIX, Feb. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SocialWhirled, the award-winning marketing technology platform that seamlessly automates digital campaigns for brands and agencies, saw tremendous growth in 2014, exceeding 150 million impressions earned for high-profile clients across the retail, sports, food service, hospitality, collegiate and startup industries. In 2014 SocialWhirled also won multiple industry awards, made significant additions and improvements in the platform, and confirmed a high-profile executive advisory board. The continued upward trend is attributed to significant new client acquisitions and expansion nationwide.

"2014 was an incredible year at SocialWhirled with the rapid adoption of our platform from some of the world's leading brands," said Andy Lombard, CEO and co-founder of SocialWhirled. "We have taken numerous steps to further strengthen our lead in the market, including hand-picking an advisory board of creative thought leaders and investing in new product innovation for 2015."

SocialWhirled's success is built on the knowledge that separate social, mobile and digital marketing campaigns can only realize a certain level of success and, when combined, are significantly more powerful. The company has mastered the challenge of synchronizing the creation and management of marketing and advertising campaigns across the social-mobile-digital landscape. This integrated suite of tools is what sets SocialWhirled apart from the litany of first generation marketing platforms, and in 2015 SocialWhirled will launch a first of its kind self-service portal that will allow clients to edit their marketing and advertising campaigns completely without having to rely on SocialWhirled staff.

"The launch of our self-service tool will add an enormous competitive edge to our platform," said Lombard. "With little to no effort and expense, campaigns originally created for inserts, billboards, or promotion in stadium or in store, etc. can be published online while maintaining campaign consistency. This could be a game changer for brands looking to achieve persistent engagement with their customers and for agencies looking to increase the value add provided to clients."
