Our mission is to build a better way to do business in mobile
Button believes that commerce, not advertising, is the future of the web.
Why? Because a digital economy built on transactions is more sustainable than one built on eyeballs. Brands pay for actions that translate directly to revenue, and publishers make money in a way that augments, not detracts from, the user experience. A commerce-driven future is one where users come first.
What we do
We give companies the tools and technology they need to increase both mobile commerce revenue and user engagement.
For brands, Button’s technology helps them acquire new customers and engage existing ones, driving new sales and increasing the lifetime value of users.
For publishers, Button’s technology improves the user experience –– and since a better user experience means more conversions and more engagement, that means more revenue.
