Likenshare – or “how we broke the Internet”
Every brand dream about going viral, but few fathoms the amount of work needed to reach beyond the few loyal family & friends.
After seeing the ad industry fail miserably with viral content, we created Likenshare.com, a tool allowing every brand to go viral, and reach virtually everyone in Norway. We recruited more than 30.000 users (That’s 1% of all Norwegians above 18) into our platform and offered rewards for writing and sharing content for products and brand.
The result was a tool that guaranteed any brand or any product a way to reach virtually everyone in Norway through authentic social media posts.
As co-founder and CEO of Likenshare.com Øyvind Sægrov took the company from a startup to its first profitable year, without founding.
Øyvind exited the company in 2014.
