Launched in 2013, Qoints is an award-winning startup that is fundamentally changing the way marketers approach their digital campaigns.
By creating a repository of real live digital marketing data from campaigns of many of the world’s largest brands, and providing that data to advertising agencies and brand marketers, Qoints helps CMOs and agency owners set truly objective campaign benchmarks.
As a true disruptor, this fundamentally changes the landscape of how the effectiveness of a company’s marketing budgets is judged. The insights and predictions Qoints generates are used by brand marketers (and their agencies) to justify tactical decisions before, during and after a campaign to squeeze maximum ROI from a marketing budget.
Our partners include some of the largest enterprise software companies and the coolest, most innovative start-ups. Our ever-growing list of brands we have touched include: Ford, WalMart, Energizer, Kinder, Barbie, LEGO, Natrel and many more of the world’s most fun and exciting companies!
Qoints is a spin-off of InfiniteSM, a digital agency that successfully specialized in branded promotional applications since 2008. In 2013, one of our biggest clients asked for conversion projections prior to releasing a media budget for an upcoming promotion. They needed benchmarks in-order to evaluate themselves properly – and we had results (and the rights to use them) from a number of comparable campaigns. We provided projections which set the brands expectations for the campaign which turned out quite accurate.
Around the same time, an international CPG company had a suspect campaign in-market. Their agency knew changes were needed but couldn’t justify the investment to their client. Using averages for campaigns with similar user experiences, we suggested a minor tweak to the flow, costing minimal resources and they campaign saw a 105% increase on their conversion rate from paid media – from there, the market opportunity because obvious and Qoints was born.
Qoints is a graduate of INcubes’ Fourth Cohort, is the 2015 winner of Northumberland CFDC’s N100 and is a proud 43 North 2015 winner.
