E117: David interviews Shannon Denton, Co-founder and CEO of Wripple, which is a two-sided marketplace that helps brands build a modern marketing team, hiring by role or hiring by project.
A proven talent supply is screened and curated as individuals and as teams while agencies and enterprise brands can shop the marketplace with cost transparency and confidence in the talent skill sets. This solves a big problem for talent: how to get the best gigs while staying independent with less hustling and more doing.
This also solves a big problem for enterprise CMOs: how to control costs and fit talent to jobs without expanding FTEs. CMOs can extend their team with individual experts across more than 45 marketing roles to curate a team that meets their exact needs. Or, they can select from over 35 digital projects with configurable ready-made teams and deliverables, for a fixed price.
With 150+ enterprise clients under contract, Wripple has been growing Quarterly Net Revenue at ~18% QoQ for the last 5 quarters. Currently on track to be EBITDA positive in Q4 of 2024 with projected net revenue for 2024 >200% of 2023, Wripple will add two new products with independent revenue streams in 2024. And, independent market research forcasts 92% of marketing leaders plan to INCREASE freelancer engagements in 2024. (recorded 4/30/24)
