Crimson Hexagon Posts Record Annual Revenues in 2017 and Expands to “Consumer Insights”

General Motors Among Brands Choosing Crimson Hexagon as Company Broadens Beyond Social Media Analytics to AI-Powered Consumer Insights

Crimson Hexagon, the leading provider of AI-powered consumer insights, recently announced record financials, as it closed its books for 2017. Revenue was up globally as well as in each geographic theater. In the last six months of 2017 alone, the company more than tripled its number of customers with annual contract values (ACVs) of $100,000 or more. Crimson’s momentum is the result of a healthy global mix of both new and existing customers – including General Motors, Virgin Atlantic, and Samsung – and a market hunger for the most accurate consumer insights.

Crimson Hexagon begins 2018 by formally adopting an expanded view of its addressable market, moving beyond its historical focus on social media analytics to the broader vision of delivering the consumer insights that matter for global brands. Powered by both its patented artificial intelligence algorithms and its clients’ unique knowledge and expertise, Crimson Hexagon blends the world’s largest collection of social media images and text with corporate-held and public data to enable global brands to better understand their consumer.

“Combine social data with other data in the enterprise to enhance existing analytics processes — and add another dimension to new ones,” wrote Jenny Sussin, a Research Vice President at Gartner, in ‘Market Guide for Social Analytics Applications’.
