Offline Endorsements/Merchandise Advertising/Crowdstorm
Offline merchandise advertising and crowdstorm equivalent services by competitors are majorly being managed by low tech event and talent management companies with no real time performance tracking capabilities

Online endorsements
Various competitors in the market ranging from influencer platforms to boutique agencies. Notable competitors include StarNgage, SushiVid and BigCast. Our key differentiator compared to competitors is our type of ambassadors that are mostly nano influencers and end consumer influencers with an average of 1k followers. The advantages include highly niche group of followers and close network which are well suited for targeted advertising strategies. Given the niche number followers, the cost per online endorsement is also lower for clients and they can opt to go for volume

Consumer feedback and Targeted surveys
Various competitors in the market ranging from survey platforms to low tech survey companies. Notable competitors include MOBROG, YouGov and Vase.ai. Our key differentiator compared to competitors is our tech adaptation and background data on our ambassadors to enable highly targeted survey and feedback respondents to our clients as well as management of add on survey scope such as collection or delivery of product samples and assignment of tasks.

Overall, where our competitors' scope of services are limited to one core service and limited application of its database of users; each user/ambassador of MyBump Media can carry out multiple advertising jobs i.e. an ambassador that participates in car wrap campaigns can also participate in consumer survey campaigns. This makes MyBump Media the one platform focused on multiple advertising-related jobs as well as provides us with enriched data on each ambassador, continuous engagement and various advertising job opportunities for our ambassadors
