Content Platform Scompler Closes EUR 7 Million Series A Financing Round

Munich, 05. May 2022 – Scompler’s „Content Command Center“ is one of the most powerful platforms for strategic brand and corporate communications on the market. It is used to professionalize all communication processes and strengthen cross-team collaboration. With Scompler, companies can plan, produce, publish and evaluate all communication content for the corporate newsroom as well as for social media, content marketing, storytelling, corporate communications and internal communications in a central location in a strategic, topic-oriented and collaborative manner.

Scompler has been a true success story since its inception in May 2018: More than 250 customers with 5 to 500 users, a total of around 25,000 registered users, ranging from NGOs to global corporations, including six DAX companies. The best-known names include Merck, Deutsche Post DHL, ADAC, Commerzbank, and AOK, but also Fridays for Future, UNICEF, and Johanniter. The company had closed its first financing round of 1.5 million euros in April 2020. The team around Mirko Lange (CEO) and Björn Bröhl (COO) has since grown to 55 people, doubling the recurring annual license revenue every year since then and increasing the value of the company fivefold.

The mission: Create better content together more easily

The goal of using the Content Command Center is to break down communication silos, create company-wide transparency about communication, and significantly strengthen both the efficiency and effectiveness of communication and marketing. Scompler solves a problem that has arisen as a result of digitization, the so-called content shock and the advertising fatigue of consumers: so much information is available that companies can only sustainably penetrate their target groups with their communication if they publish relevant content in a well-coordinated manner in multi- or even omni-channel. However, the resulting increase in complexity cannot be managed with the general tools that have been in use to date, such as Excel or Trello, nor with specialized channel tools, such as social media management suites.

„Digitization is also causing content and communications management to grow together,“ says Mirko Lange. „It is no longer enough to simply fill individual channels with more and more content. Companies need to create better content. It comes down to delivering real content and narratives in a coordinated way.“ Scompler’s greatest strength in this regard, he said, is strategically aligning the actions of all stakeholders and ensuring that the strategy is implemented in day-to-day operations. The collaboration platform took on particular importance during the pandemic, he said, because it made it much easier for distributed teams, including those in home offices, to work together.
