Gloto is a self-serve social media platform that allows brands and publishers to safely launch user-generated content campaigns across mobile and web. It uses moderation tools to protect brand integrity while monetizing traffic. Compared to fragmented and expensive integrations without Gloto, its single platform provides control over social media activities, from content moderation to analytics and monetization through advertising. Gloto has many customers including Syfy, Terradax, and Universal Studios and its tools have driven increased engagement for campaigns like photo contests and citizen journalism.
2. The World We Live In
Social media and user-generated content (UGC) are
revolutionizing the way consumers and brands interact
• Interactive dialogues (many-to-many) instead of
broadcast media monologues (one-to-many)
Brands and publishers want to reach and grow an
audience but need to protect the integrity of the brand
and monetize all of the traffic
3. The Problem We Solve
Gloto’s self-serve platform uses advanced technology
and automated tools to permit brands and publishers to
safely and profitably launch user-centric interactive
campaigns on mobile and web
We Specialize in Moderation and Monetization of UGC
