What is Oppizi?
Oppizi is the first major multi-channel player in offline performance marketing. We've built technology that enables tracking, scaling, and optimization of offline marketing. We offer five channels: Hand-to-hand (in people's hands), Door-to-Door (in people's mailboxes), Direct Mail (in people's mailboxes via the national post service), Door Hangers (by leaving them on the doorknobs of residential properties or on their cars), and Sampling (by providing the target audience with relevant products). We operate in 10 countries, with the main ones being Australia, New Zealand, France, the UK, the US, and Canada. We are very privileged to work with flagship accounts like Uber, DoorDash, Getaround, DiDi, Deliveroo, and many others.
