York-based technology company allows brands, businesses, agencies and public bodies to send high-impact human hologram messages to their audiences

2mee, the Direct Human Messaging platform that allows brands, businesses and public sector bodies to talk to their audiences and stakeholders on a human level, has completed a £500,000 funding round.

The capital injection will allow 2mee to shift up a gear with its sales and marketing activity and to grow its commercial team as it looks to partner with organisations, agencies and government departments seeking to connect with people on a human level.

2mee’s patented technology allows users to send Human Hologram Messages directly to customers, clients and recipients in a way that demands their absolute attention.

2mee’s holograms have been used to successfully increase engagement, improve customer retention, open up new and dynamic revenue streams, drive client acquisition, educate, endorse and create true empathy with the receiving audience.

The results speak for themselves – in tests, 2mee’s Instant Human Hologram Messaging delivered 650-2,000% greater engagement with real-world clients enjoying an unprecedented average CTR of 51%.

2mee, whose technology is patented in Europe, China, Hong Kong and the US, allows its customers to send messages across all of the channels where their audiences are active including web – via push and pull messaging – and native mobile applications.

2mee has been designed to do everything a volumetric studio can do but from a mobile phone. The user simply records the person delivering the message from any setting then 2mee recognises the face and cuts out the surrounding clutter, focusing the viewer on the person and the message.

James Riley, CEO of 2mee, said:

“Closing our latest funding round is a milestone moment for 2mee as it will allow us to deploy our ambitious expansion plans and help more organisations leverage the power of face-to-face communication.

“2mee has been developed specifically to allow users to connect with their audiences on a human level, creating incredibly valuable emotional relationships that ultimately take engagement to the next level with unprecedented CTR rates.

“We have already come a long way in a short space of time, but with the raised capital we can now drive even greater awareness of 2mee among brands, businesses, agencies and bodies across the North and beyond.”
