Brndstrdeveloped a suite of interactive tools on Twitter that allows companies to automatically respond to hashtags with offers and vouchers, as well as tweet performance analytics of all users.

In May 2014,Brndstr successfully raised its second round of funding amounting to US$1.6m. Since then the company has moved offices and strengthened its relationship with Twitter. Following its success on Twitter, Brndstr was granted developer access to build similar solutions on Instagram which it has used to address some of the current gaps. These include access to multiple Instagram accounts without the need to login each time, the ability to group or categorize followers on Instagram as well as filter/search specific #tags.
