| Factor Eleven | Wir sind Factor Eleven. Ein Product & Tech-Startup mit der Mission die Planung, Kreation, Buchung und Abwicklung von Werbekampagnen einfacher und KPI-basierter zu machen.Durch die Entwicklung von SMARTER TECHNOLOGIE, wird diese Mission von Quartal zu Quartal mehr und mehr Realität. Mit Hilfe unserer technologischen „Core-Produkte“automatisieren wir Arbeitsschritte und ToDos, die heute in Unternehmen viel (unnötige) Zeit rauben und alles andere als effizient fördernd sind. Uns ist wichtig, dass sich Mitarbeiter unserer Kunden und Partner weniger um diese „Standard-Aufgaben“ oder „Trouble-Shooting“ kümmern müssen – sondern mehr Zeit für die wirklich wichtigen Dinge ihres Business haben: Deren Kunden, die Weiterentwicklung der Produkte/Dienstleistungen, Controlling & Learnings, etc.Dabei herausgekommen sind z.B. Media-Produkte, die dediziert entlang der Customer Journey entwickelt wurden und je nach Funnel-Stufe buchbar sind: Abgerechnet nach der KPI, die zur jeweiligen Funnel-Stufe passt/gehört. Ermöglicht wird dies durch unsere eigens entwickelten Algorithmen, die notwendiger Bestandteil sind, um den ambitionierten Ansprüchen von Marketeers und Mediaplanern gerecht zu werden. Darüber hinaus bieten unsere Produkte weitreichende Garantien hinsichtlich Transparenz, Brand Safety und Viewability um auch in Zukunft die Grenzen des Möglichen immer wieder neu zu challengen. | $4.9M | Debt Financing | Mar 25, 2022 |  |
