What do we do

nFluence empowers consumers to retake control of their digital presence. Marketers have spammed us to such an extent that it takes an average of 250 messages to reach just ONE consumer – leaving 249 recipients to ignore the message, often confused or annoyed that they were ever contacted in the first place.

We have spent over two years working to remedy this glaring issue at hand. We've thought long and hard to devise a manner in which consumers can create their own anonymous profiles, called advertars™, and use them to personalize the information that comes their way. In this way, consumers are able to take back control… and use THEIR nFluence!

How does nFluence work

Our patent pending technology, the Brand Sorter, allows the consumer to like or dislike various brands from a series of options. The process is fun, quick, and easy. From there, we draw conclusions from the data of over 50,000 consumers, which corresponds to the brands the consumer has selected… and that's how we create an anonymous profile for you! This unique persona, or advertar™, tells us all about your interests and preferences without you ever having to give us a single piece of your personal information.

This process reveals none of your personal information, nor does it place you in a bucket where one size fits all – it is tuned around your INTERESTS, and it is 100% under your control.

Where can you use it

dealBoard is our first app, and it is aimed at resolving one big problem consumers face – the challenge of wanting access to great offers, discounts, and information without enduring interminable emails, texts, and junk mail from advertisers.

With the release of dealBoard, we have succeeded in building a unique database of over 35,000 offers, drawn from restaurants, travel companies, retailers, and service providers across the globe. We filter this ever-revolving set of offers based on your location and the unique characteristics of your own, personal advertar™.

our apps

The recently-launched iPhone app, dealBoard, is the first showcase of nFluence's technology. Using its proprietary, game-like tool called the "Brand Sorter", dealBoard users receive access to custom, aggregated sets of daily deals that appeal to their unique tastes and interests. The app is 100% free, and it pulls from nearly every major daily deal source to provide a personalized selection of offers to each of its users. All of this, front to back, dealBoard accomplishes without sending you a single email or collecting any of your personal information.

about us

nFluence was created when Tom Huseby, a Seattle mobile start-up veteran introduced Brian Roundtree, a serial mobile entrepreneur to Henry Lawson, the former president of the company that processes over 90% of US and UK agency advertising. All three of us had been considering ways to make marketing work better from the consumer’s point of view. How to deliver the good stuff to those who are interested in it when they want, where they want without bothering the vast majority who are not interested. We have built nFluence from that firm foundation in January 2010 and our Seattle and London based team are building what consumers tell us they want to see in this new and exciting world of control.

your privacy

There is an emerging movement towards a ‘New Privacy Paradigm’ and legislators are reviewing all sorts of ways to keep the marketers in check. This is in the face of heavy lobbying by huge internet companies who want to keep things the way they are. When they start running full page ads in national newspapers about their new privacy policy and what it means you know they are admitting they hold much more information about you than they want you to know about.
First, we don’t want you to give us any personal information. We don’t even ask for your email address, post/zip code or phone number. We just ask you to download an app and the only way we communicate with you is when you open that app. So we start by making sure if you don’t want to know about what we have found for you, you don’t need to.
