Paolo Privitera's Experience

  • Founder and CEO at Pick1 by Doochoo Inc.
    December 2009 - Present
    What is Pick1?
    Retargeting via automated Market Research - Big Data for Opinions
    Pick1 is the ‘sweet spot’ between the Market Research world, which delivers out-of-time partial insights with no actionability at a super-premium price, and the Advertising world, which delivers actionability and engagement with no real insights on your customers.

    Pick1 is an end-to-end solution building a bridge between the two, based on three simple things: questions, insights, actions. By using Pick1 you engage your users with a multi-touchpoint approach, collecting opinions and multi-dimensional social analytics.

    Pick1 dynamically aggregates and clusters the collected information to deliver actionable data, for Brands and SMBs alike to be able to retarget their audience and critically improve their Return on Investment.
