We're an independent global media, creative, and data agency helping our clients make their next best move. We help brands unlock growth with a Return on Intelligence - applying innovative intelligence across brand strategy, integrated media, social, creative, and data. In a world where agility is essential and not all returns are created equal, we bring transparency, speed, and incrementality-focused measurement to fuel growth and unlock true value. Founded in 2011 with the mission to reinvent the agency model, we combine 600+ in-house digital experts with a global, on-demand network of 2,900 marketing specialists. This agile, scalable model gives us more time to really understand our clients’ businesses, and deliver truly incremental growth. Croud has recently acquired Vert Digital, an Atlanta-based digital marketing agency, and Metageni, an analytics specialist, having previously acquired leading social-first agency Born Social, Croud Luxe (formerly VERB Brands), and impakt Advisors.
