DivvyHQ is riding a wave of excitement after its peers in the world of content marketing recently voted the company as the best solution in its industry.
The Kansas City-based tech firm created a content planning and collaboration platform that nabbed the audience choice award for the top content creation, workflow and experience platform from the Content Marketing Institute. Divvy’s commendation was delivered at an international meeting of 4,000 content marketers hosted by the CMI.
Divvy co-founder Brock Stechman said the award is significant for the firm as it continues to rollout new features and land large clients from around the world.
“We have tremendous momentum right now,” Stechman said. “We’ve taken the risk of being a very specific platform that solves a very specific, yet primary problem marketers face. To be voted as the number one content creation, workflow and experience platform by the worldwide content marketing community is incredible validation that the path we have chosen for DivvyHQ is the right one.”
Founded in 2011, DivvyHQ works with major clients such as Samsung, General Mills, Lowe’s, Roche, Marketo, Aflac and TripAdvisor. In 2015, the company closed on a $1.8 million Series A round. A graduate of Digital Sandbox KC, Divvy currently has clients in more than 20 countries around the world.
