Redefining the Industry Since Day One

Our Story

Not all heroes wear capes. But we would. Cuz we dig capes.

When push notifications first showed up, they quickly became spam with a different name. Brands shouted. Audiences ignored. But we saw potential. Push was not the problem. The way it was used was. So in 2017, we decided to change that. We built Pushly to make messaging feel welcome, useful, and even liked.

A Smarter Way to Be Heard

Pushly was founded on one simple belief: real engagement starts with choice. People should decide what they want to hear and when they want to hear it. When you respect that, you earn trust, and the right to share something meaningful. Our platform helps brands deliver value, not noise. That is how we turn first time users into superfans.

Intelligence That Connects

Pushly uses advanced AI and deep audience insight to make messages more personal, better timed, and more effective. With billions of data signals at work, we help brands speak clearly across mobile, email, web, and more. The result is messaging that moves fast, lands right, and drives results everyone can feel.

We Keep Good Company

We don’t like to name drop. No wait. We kinda do.

Our Team

Smart tech is only part of the story. The real difference is our people.

At Pushly, our team combines deep expertise in data, content, and audience strategy. We partner with publishers to create personalized engagement plans that turn visitors into subscribers and subscribers into long-term revenue.

From expanding first party data to simplifying content distribution, we help brands grow with purpose. With Pushly, you are not just sending messages—you are building lasting relationships.
