”What initially drew me to Birdeye was the opportunity to help businesses grow through customer happiness. It’s incredibly exciting to build a new category, Experience Marketing,” said Bennett. “It’s easy to sell a product when you’re passionate about it, and it’s easy to get passionate when you are on a mission to help millions of businesses and billions of users. I truly believe in our industry-leading platform. We also have a wonderful team; the Birdeye family as we call it.”
