Digital Animal is an advocacy marketing technology and consultancy company. We combine technology with a deep understanding of social interaction to redefine this area of marketing.
The sensational growth of Airbnb, Uber and Dropbox, all of whom use the influence of their customers to grow their business, suggests that every brand should place advocacy at the heart of their marketing strategy. Digital Animalβs technology is bringing this capability to big brands and disruptive startups in the UK and beyond.
Digital Animalβs technology builds personalised advocacy campaigns that are built on friendship. Our small team of Advocacy Analysts advises companies on how to use and optimise advocacy in their marketing campaigns and helps them to analyse the unique data that these campaigns generate.
Digital Animal works with a number of clients from retail, travel, insurance and financial services, including BT, Tesco and AXA.
We are a startup with offices in Birmingham and London.
