"We can deliver a brand's message and enable them to stay on top of the consumer's mind simply by the fact that we are not an 'appointment viewing' app. This is proven by the fact that over 70 percent of our advertisers are repeat customers, which assures us of the efficacy of our platform," Gill added.
