About Brickfish

Brickfish was established in 2005 as a social media management and advertising firm headquartered in Chicago. The company initially operated as a platform for brands to launch marketing campaigns centered on user-generated content, where consumers could submit creative materials like photos and artwork for prizes. Its revenue model was based on commissions from companies utilizing the platform. Brickfish asserted itself as a pioneer in social media ROI measurement, creating the Cost Per Engagement (CPE) metric.

Over the years, the firm shifted its focus to providing a comprehensive suite of social media software solutions for enterprise clients, including tools for building, managing, and monitoring brand presence online. A significant milestone occurred in July 2018, when Brickfish acquired NUVI, a Utah-based social media listening and analytics platform known for its data visualization capabilities. This acquisition was a strategic move to integrate real-time research and analytics into Brickfish's offerings, enhancing its ability to provide clients with deeper consumer behavior insights. Following this integration, in May 2019, Brickfish rebranded its entire social media software suite under the NUVI name.

The unified platform, then known as NUVI, provided an end-to-end solution for social media marketing, encompassing listening, planning, publishing, engagement, and analytics. This suite was designed to give organizations the tools to manage their brand conversations across the web. The journey continued with further acquisitions, including Banyan in May 2019, to expand into specific sectors. Ultimately, the entity that started as Brickfish and evolved into NUVI was acquired by the online reputation management firm Reputation.com in April 2021.
