Headquartered in Austin, TX, PLANOLY was founded in 2016 on the belief that social media shouldn’t be so complicated. Inspired by co-founder Brandy Pham’s experience balancing the demands of being a new mom and running her jewelry brand, PLANOLY was built for her need to visually plan and schedule Instagram posts. Today, PLANOLY has grown to over 40 employees, more than 5 million users, and was recently named the fastest growing company in Central Texas by the Austin Business Journal.
“We are excited to join the Traject family and fuel PLANOLY’s next phase of growth through our shared vision to simplify social marketing and commitment to the community we serve,” says Andy Hoang, Co-Founder of PLANOLY. “Traject brings an exceptional foundation of SaaS operations and marketing expertise that will allow us to grow faster while continuing to innovate in our industry.”
