Build vs. Branded Integration

7
When does it make sense to build
from scratch?

When you want to have a conversation with customers


over time

When you have a great concept that provides value


and doesn’t currently exist

When you have resources to promote the app after


building

When you’re a content owner

When you’re looking to monetize

When you have multiple brands that need the same


functionality

When does it make sense to integrate?

When you need instant, guaranteed audience

When you have a short lived program

When there is a perfect integration opportunity

When you’re piggybacking off a promotional app that


already references your brand

When you have a boring brand
