Brndstr was founded 18 months back with a clear objective aimed at helping brands create real-time, in-the-moment campaigns. Focused initially on Twitter, Brndstr’sfocus was to help brands and agencies build engaging campaigns using its custom built technology together with the Twitter API’s and Ads Platform. The company’s underlining visionis to help businesses capitalize on their social networks by converting their existing fan base into brand ambassadors in exchange for rewards. Brndstrdeveloped a suite of interactive tools on Twitter that allows companies to automatically respond to hashtags with offers and vouchers, as well as tweet performance analytics of all users. Brndstr quickly became an extension to the creative teams helping brands to ‘own a moment’ by engaging with their fan base using innovative solutions and cleaver API technology. 

To date, Brndstr has partnered with a number of notable names including McDonalds, Virgin Megastore, CNN, Sheraton and UBER. In May 2014,Brndstr successfully raised its second round of funding amounting to US$1.6m. Since then the company has moved offices and strengthened its relationship with Twitter.

Following its success on Twitter, Brndstr was granted developer access to build similar solutions on Instagram which it has used to address some of the current gaps. These include access to multiple Instagram accounts without the need to login each time, the ability to group or categorize followers on Instagram as well as filter/search specific #tags.
