Applecart is the leading technology company creating a new category of “Decision Maker Marketing”. The most important decisions are made by the hardest people to reach and influence. Historically, C-suite leaders have lacked the tools to reach the stakeholders that matter most to their business. The C-suites of hundreds of Fortune 500 companies, major agencies, trade associations, nonprofits, and governments use Applecart to put their best content in front of business critical decision makers and those they trust —  from policymakers and investors to CEOs, key employees, members of the media and more. Decision makers are informed by what they read, learn from advisors, hear from colleagues, and discuss with family and friends. To break through to them, you must reach them through the only channel that really moves them: those they know and trust. Applecart’s platform uses publicly available or fully permissioned data to map billions of social relationships between nearly every American adult and enable clients to deliver content directly to decision makers and those that matter most to them.

An Insider's view of Applecart

What are some social events your company does?

Applecart does a great job of planning regular social events - even during this crazy pandemic world. We've been laser tagging and karaoke-ing. We've gone to comedy shows, cooking classes and summer sunset cruises. It's great to work at a place that invests so much into making sure that we have fun with each other and strengthen our team bond.

What kinds of technical challenges do you and your team face?

Our team supports a reasonably wide range of tech products from data science and data engineering to software engineering and Dev Ops. As a result, it becomes necessary to build skills as well as context in various parts of the technical implementation of our business. This is both challenging and rewarding.

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I started as an intern at Applecart and have grown into a Senior Associate on the Client Services team. When I started, I was nervous to present work to the team and now I consistently lead calls with big clients. I’ve grown in terms of my skills, confidence, and overall community with my coworkers. Applecart has enabled me to be my best self!

Technology transformed how businesses market to consumers, but it never disrupted how businesses market to senior decision makers. Applecart is creating a new market for what we call "Decision Maker Marketing.” We transform how the world’s biggest companies and causes do everything from employee engagement and government relations to b2b sales.

What are some social events your company does?

Honorable mentions go to karaoke but my favorite company social event is our Applecart Book Club (ABC). Every few months we vote on a book to read for the next meeting. We order wine, assorted cheeses and crackers and talk about the book. Applecart has a great diversity of people and opinions, so our discussions are always engaging and lively.
