With 2B users in over 180 countries, WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app globally. 70% of users check it every day, and 68% say it’s the easiest way to communicate with a business. Direct messaging is how consumers prefer to communicate with brands, a trend accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and growing economic influence of messaging-first generations including Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z.

How people engage with and buy from brands has evolved. We live in a messaging-first and privacy-first world.

“How people engage with and buy from brands has evolved. We live in a messaging-first and privacy-first world,” said Max Koziolek, Spectrm’s CEO. “People choose messaging because they want convenience, and nothing feels more natural on mobile than messaging.

It’s messaging-first, privacy-first, and ultimately customer-first. People use WhatsApp every day around the world, so demand from our global customers at Spectrm to integrate WhatsApp Business is high. We’re excited to add the channel to help brands automate one to one conversations with their customers.”
