Stackla (merged with Nosto in 2021)

About

Co-founders Damien Mahoney and Peter Cassidy founded Stackla in Sydney in 2012. The two were running a digital consultancy for professional sports teams, Pillar Digital, and sought to develop a means of generating inexpensive, and relevant, content for their clients. As web audiences were being cannibalised by social networks, Damien and Peter set themselves the goal of deriving value from social engagement. 

Stackla began as a point solution, largely campaign-based, however quickly evolved with the market and exponential increase in the volume of social content generated online to become a widespread-use platform that is a critical component of a company's marketing platform. 

Investment exit

Stackla merged with Nosto in June 2021. The combined entity is larger, better capitalised and has a diverse set of product offerings and customers.
