ABOUT KOMO
Every organisation we work with reaches a large audience and knows almost none of them. Fans watching from afar, shoppers through the doors, attendees across the show floor, member names on a file – anonymous, or reachable by name and email address and mostly unresponsive. Komo turns the audiences you only reach – fans, attendees, guests, shoppers, viewers, members – into audiences you own and grow the value of. The mechanism is participation: people identify themselves by taking part, in what they do and in what they answer. Rewards and recognition keep them coming back, and every interaction compounds into a deeper connection, richer data you keep, and revenue you can grow and measure. Run everything through Komo, use it to fill specific gaps, or let it power your own app invisibly – we fit your stack, you don’t rebuild for us. Always-on participation, an audience better known with every interaction, and revenue you can measure, prove and grow – all in one system, not multiple tools stitched together. We call it the Engagement Engine. Founded in Perth, Australia, Komo works with leading rights holders, broadcasters, event organisers and venues across the world including the NFL, the NRL, the NBL, New Zealand Rugby, Live Nation, ReedPop, AEG, Rugby Australia, Foxtel, SCA, Stan and more.
