Key notes: SaaS platform to help brands grow authentic, unparalleled connections through visual content marketing

Office address: 2550 9th Street, Suite 206, Berkeley, California, United States

Description: The Social Marketing landscape becomes more and more complicated for brands on a daily basis, and at the core of the challenge, is the MASSIVE need for good content. Brands now need 20X+ the amount of content that they did five years ago, and finding and publishing that content is a daunting task. At its core, ShareRoot has developed a SaaS platform that allows for brands to instantly search for and source User Generated Content for their own marketing purposes. This three-step, legally secure process provides brands with the ability to not only connect with users who are talking about them, but also to gain access to relevant content that is real and trustworthy. Outside of the initial offering, ShareRoot has developed an easy to use system to organize your content which allows for brands to display their newly owned content in a variety of ways. These include showcasing your content on a social wall, utilizing them in hashtag campaigns, having your images appear on a television or jumbotron, through a Facebook integration that allows for a custom gallery to appear, and many more. You can even stream images from a live event directly onto a screen at that event! At ShareRoot we believe in building out a product that our clients will want to use. It is this basic belief that drives our team and molds what direction and path our product takes. We also believe that brands should harness the visual power of their consumers and grow authentic, unparalleled connections through visual content marketing.
