Brandbuddee is a social media marketing platform that rewards consumers for sharing advertisers' messages. It has experienced rapid growth, with thousands of unique referrals generated within a week for some brand clients. The social media marketing industry is projected to grow substantially over the next few years to $38 billion, but there is no clear leader. The company seeks funding to continue building out its technology, hire staff, and market the platform while the industry is still young and evolving, with the goal of a lucrative acquisition or IPO within 3 years.
