MeWe Marketing is a social platform that is similar to Facebook in many ways but offers a more focused and secure environment. It is ad-free and does not share user data with advertisers. Instead, it relies on a subscription model. It has a lot to offer to brands that are looking for a new place to reach their audience.

Founded in 2015, MeWe is based in California and has been growing rapidly. In the week of January alone, it added 2.5 million users. Its CEO says the growth is partly due to disaffection with Facebook, but he also claims that users are moving to MeWe because it respects their privacy.

According to the company, MeWe is ad-free, does not sell user data, and does not manipulate news feed algorithms. It has a simple mission statement: “Serve our members. Delight them. Keep them.” The company also has a free tier and a paid premium option that costs $4.99 per month.

The platform allows users to upload personal photos, create groups, and publish messages, videos, and links. It is available in multiple languages and has a mobile app for both iOS and Android devices. It also features an inline commenting system that allows users to leave comments on posts. MeWe also has an inbuilt search engine that helps users to find content easily.

Users can choose to use their real name or an avatar when registering with MeWe. They can also choose whether they want to make their profile public or private. They can also choose whether they want to receive notifications.

In addition to the standard MeWe features, there are additional features for businesses. These include group chat, the ability to upload videos and audio files, and the possibility of creating a business page. In addition, business members can access a dashboard that allows them to monitor their activity and statistics.

MeWe’s recent hiring announcements highlight the company’s ambitions to attract larger advertisers. Earlier this year, the company hired Hollywood/Tech exec Jeffrey Edell as its new CEO and joins its board of directors. Edell has held chairman, CEO, and C-level roles at Intermix Media (NASDAQ); Soundelux Entertainment Group/Liberty Media; and Cinedigm (NASDAQ).

The company recently announced that it is launching a new feature called “Groups for Brands” that will allow companies to build a community on the platform. The feature will let businesses manage their brands, track engagement, and promote campaigns. It will also help them measure the impact of their advertising on MeWe. The feature will be available in beta later this year. The beta will be open to the first 500,000 registered brands. After that, the feature will be made available to all MeWe members. The feature will allow brands to create and customize a group for their customers. They can also invite other members to participate in the group. The platform also allows them to customize the look and feel of their groups. The groups will also be able to post and chat in a private environment.
