Built by the community, for the community
TRIBE emerged from our collective experiences as active community members of our favorite brands. Guided by some of the industry's leading experts, we are dedicated to supporting both large-scale and budding communities alike.
A note from our founder
G and I started TRIBE in the fall of 2022 with the simple desire to help a brand we admired. Their team understood the power of organic awareness and wanted to put fuel on the fire by encouraging their community to spread the word on social media. After combing through influencer, affiliate, and loyalty solutions, they realized their dream solution did not exist yet. So, us “TRIBE Bros” set on a path to build a solution.
A few months later, TRIBE was born. Our original solution rewarded members for posting their own created content (Instagram Posts, TikToks, Tweets), and taking part in both online and IRL events. TRIBE became their #1 sales funnel as the community was directly growing itself and being rewarded for it, all at a fraction of the cost of other marketing channels.
We realized two important things from this. 1) We needed to double down and share TRIBE with the world, and 2) we could work together as brothers and not get sick of each other – a big surprise!
Fast forward to today, we’ve rewarded 3 million social interactions across 250 thousand people. We would love for you to join us as we transform everyday communities into our tribes.
