Social Tip is on a mission to help brands connect more authentically online through rewarding their customers with cash. We help turn a brand’s customers into their influencers. This is good old-fashioned word of mouth marketing but amplified for the digital age and scalable through our innovative technology. The conventional ways of marketing are becoming less and less effective. 70% of people no longer trust adverts, Gen Z are allergic to anything that looks or feels like marketing, and it is increasingly difficult for brands to connect authentically on fragmented online platforms. In short, the old ways of marketing are broken. The answer is Social Tip. We build hype and buzz whilst putting money back into the pockets of everyday people for posting online about the things they love. This is the future, and it just needs a platform.

We’re shaking up Spirits. Putting ourselves under the influence. And co-creating a Degen drinks brand with a change-making NFT community as our global salesforce. Because those that embrace risk should be recognized and rewarded.

Your fingers are amazing. Imagine if they had a thumb. Thats us. The opposable digit for visionary tech companies. We make tech human. Humans make tech famous. While everyone else is busy high-fouring their industry peers, were helping you high-five the mainstream. Because whats the point of revolutionary technology if nobody gives a sh*t? The sameness epidemic is real. Why does every tech brand look the same? Blue gradients. Abstract geometric shapes. Buzzwords that would make Orwell wince. Theres merit in mirroring the big-hitters. It just isnt your route to the history books. Thumbcorp parts the seas of sameness with something radical: actual human-centric creativity and insight. Forget trad-branding. We use our own model, designed to be more compressed: FIRST. WITH MORE FIRE. FOREVER. We take whats in your brain and propel it into mainstream consciousness before your competitors even realise theres a race. And who the hell are we? A collision of tech insiders and talented outsiders… strategists, creatives, designers, behaviourists, filmmakers, and more... People who understand both the absurdity of tech jargon and the beauty of what youre actually building underneath it. We help visionary tech companies connect with the mainstream and stamp their place in history. Because Web3, AI, and wind-powered flying e-scooters wont change the world if they cant grab hold of it properly. Thats what thumbs are for.
