Just two quick announcements on the podcast this week.
Following last week's conversation with Jed Alpert, and channeling by best Ben Thompson (or Scott Galloway) in this week's episode I pull apart different approaches for how messaging platforms might grow.
Most episodes are focused on tactics, news or different campaigns, but this week I put on my analysts hat to talk about business strategy for some of the companies in the space. I hope you like it.
Jed founded Mobile Commons, which was one of the earliest mobile messaging platforms. Mobile Commons brought thousands of messaging campaigns to hundreds of non-profits, government agencies and healthcare companies.
Mobile Commons was acquired by Upland Software in 2014 and Jed has continued to drive much of what's happening in the messaging space. Upland software has acquired several messaging platforms and is one of the largest messaging companies in the world.
As Jed discusses in the episode, Upland software is currently focused on helping their customers take an omnichannel approach and understand the actionable insights in their messaging and digital data.
