I'd agree, Mailchimp has spent a pretty penny on advertising and still doesn't seem to be all that strong as a brand or household name. $10B valuation doesn't

I'd agree, Mailchimp has spent a pretty penny on advertising and still doesn't seem to be all that strong as a brand or household name.
$10B valuation doesn't seem justifiable.
- runako 5y ago> all that strong as a brand or household name. Which email services have stronger brands? Why would an email platform for business be a household name any more than would the top HR software?
- sombremesa 5y ago> Which email services have stronger brands? None. No "Email service" (let's say newsletters specifically, because obviously gmail exists) has a strong brand - that's my point, it was a blank canvas to start and they've spent a ton on paint with little to show for it. > Why would an email platform for business be a household name any more than would the top HR software? Businesses are made up of people. Look at Salesforce, Workday, Zoom...
- runako 5y ago> they've spent a ton on paint with little to show for it. This is a bizarre comment under an article for a company that bootstrapped to a $10 billion valuation.
- sombremesa 5y ago? If I say "Timmy never did well in school" are you going to run up and say that's a bizarre comment because Timmy is an oscar winner?
