Plyfe was founded in 2011 by Jeff Arbour and Zaw Thet as a platform focused on transforming digital content into interactive experiences. Arbour, who served as CEO, brought a wealth of experience in digital marketing, having previously been the first U.S. employee at The Hyperfactory and growing its North American business until its acquisition by Meredith Corporation. His work with major brands like Toyota, L'Oréal, and Microsoft, coupled with industry recognition such as being named #1 in DM News' 'Top 30 Under 30' in 2008, shaped his vision for Plyfe.
The company developed an automated marketing platform that enabled marketers to create interactive content, such as games and rewards, without needing coding skills. This service was designed to help brands better engage and understand their digital audiences by making their advertising, campaigns, and content more participatory. Plyfe operated on a freemium model, offering a free version for individual consumers and enterprise-level contracts for large agencies, media publishers, and brands. The platform's core offering consisted of interactive cards that used gamification mechanics to acquire, engage, and influence audiences.
Operating in the AdTech and interactive content marketing sectors, Plyfe catered to businesses seeking to enhance their digital marketing efforts. The platform allowed clients to build simple, mobile-optimized web experiences designed to capture audience attention. According to some market analyses, Plyfe held a 2.76% market share in the interactive content marketing category, placing it as a notable player in its niche. Eventually, the company was acquired by Tatango.
