"Appboy's mobile engagement platform fills a gap we have noticed since first developing apps with the original iOS SDK. Six years later, beyond designing and building an app, customers now recognize that they need to acquire, retain and delight users with engagement tools, just like any other digital channel," said Bill Konrad, Co-CEO, Konrad Group. "Our combined technology and strategy offering will create the first full-spectrum mobile engagement solution in the marketplace, and create real value for both sets of our clients."
Following a $15M Series B round of funding, Appboy is expanding its engineering investment in its technology platform, as well as sales and marketing across North America. Some of its key customers today include Urban Outfitters, Shutterfly and USA Today Sports.
"Konrad Group's mobile pedigree is a perfect complement to our vision for 'beyond the download' mobile engagement." said Mark Ghermezian, CEO and Co-Founder of Appboy. "Through their deep relationships and role as a mobile thought leader, Konrad Group will help maximize ROI for our enterprise customers on the platform."
