TORONTO, June 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Influitive, the advocate marketing experts, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the 2014 OnDemand Companies to Watch. Inclusion in the OnDemand Companies to Watch signifies game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players.

Influitive was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.

Influitive and the OnDemand Companies to Watch were honored at AlwaysOn's OnDemand event on June 4th, 2014, at Draper University in San Mateo, CA.

Since its 2012 launch, Influitive's software and unique approach to advocate marketing has generated accolades, rapid customer adoption, and top-tier funding from investors such as Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Relay Ventures, First Round Capital and more.

Influitive's customers include some of most successful and fastest-growing B2B companies in the world, including a number of the 2014 OnDemand 100 Top Private Companies, such as DocuSign, Xactly, Act-On Software and others.

"Advocate marketing will be as mainstream in a few years as email marketing or search marketing is today," says Mark Organ, founder and CEO of Influitive. "We're at the forefront of building this new marketing category, but the real innovators are our customers – many of whom were also recognized this year by AlwaysOn. These forward-thinking B2B companies are already looking to their advocate base as a critical asset to be expertly managed and leveraged using the best people, processes and technology."

The OnDemand Companies to Watch winners were selected from among hundreds of other technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists, and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2014 list.
