Beaudoin and his colleagues recognized that Brandzooka’s model of giving small and midsize agencies and in-house marketing teams access to powerful digital advertising technology was a huge opportunity. Brandzooka makes it possible for companies of any size to place targeted ads on primetime TV and premium digital properties worldwide for as little as $5.
Mark IV was also struck by Brandzooka’s explosive growth in 2020. The company’s monthly recurring revenue has increased five-fold since the beginning of the year.
