We’ve built the first identity-based platform that combines consumer attitudes and behaviors together to power the most accurate and predictive insights solutions for our customers, and we do all of that with the willing participation of our consumers and without using outdated technologies like third-party cookies. We help our customers get a cross-platform view into consumer sentiment, measure advertising effectiveness, analyze consumer purchase journeys, and ultimately grow their brands.

Our mission at DISQO is to engage people to share their opinions and behaviors openly to help our customers make the right decisions. With over one million active members sharing their attitudes and behaviors, DISQO is looking to expand, improve and create world-class applications for people to openly share their data for research.

Who We’re Looking For:

Imagine that moment when you are sitting alongside your colleagues at a big round table at the end of the night while the stage crew starts dismantling the set in front of you and your head of sales, turns and he says to you “I made a million dollar deal here today, thank you.” Imagine helping the CMO of a Fortune 100 company find a cab after your exclusive client roundtable and she tells you it was the best business dinner of her life. Imagine slacking the head of demand gen with a crying with joy emoji to let her know your inbox is filling with webinar registrations so fast you can’t even open them. Imagine telling the head of insights that their hard work on the ground-breaking whitepaper is going to pay off big time because you secured a keynote speech for them to deliver the paper at THE industry event of the year. Imagine tracking the leads that came in from the sponsored breakfast workshop you hosted and seeing in Pardot that it influenced millions in new client revenues. If you deliver events that smash records, defy expectations and drive growth, let’s talk.
