Live right now, SampleCon 2021, my first live event. I've got Andrew Abony. Did I pronounce it correct? [00:00:12] Andrew Abony: Yeah. Got it perfect. [00:00:12] Jamin Brazil: Awesome. Business is Adbloom. Love the name. [00:00:16] Andrew Abony: Thank you. [00:00:16] Jamin Brazil: Tell me about it. [00:00:18] Andrew Abony: So Adbloom is a- We're really just experts in user recruitment and acquisition. And what that means is we're very good at getting consumers to engage in different types of marketing, whether that's market research related or fintech, like financial services, the gig economy, adtech, etc. We generally reach American audiences, but we're fairly global and usually reaching consumers who are interested in ways to earn, make, or save. So we don't touch anything that you can kind of buy or sell. All of our clients sort of are- Don't have anything that you can purchase. So a typical client might be like Acorns, the fintech unicorn, Root Insurance, another insurance unicorn, or some of the many great market research companies that are here at SampleCon this year. [00:01:05] Jamin Brazil: So you're doing things like, basically just click through, is that right? [00:01:10] Andrew Abony: Sort of. So we, on one side of our business, work with over 600 content partners. Now, these are bloggers, websites, email newsletters, more so social influencers in micro-communities. And, so, these are effectively places on the web, whether they're in a mobile app or on some sort of a social network where you get communities of highly targeted and highly interested audiences that have all banded around, usually, a sort of singular topic. So it might be people who love fishing use a certain kind of fishing app.
