SocialChorus and Dynamic Signal Complete Merger

The SocialChorus and Dynamic Signal merger will bring forward the most innovative and customer-focused provider of digital employee experience cloud-based software.

SAN FRANCISCO and SAN BRUNO, Calif., Aug. 4, 2021—SocialChorus and Dynamic Signal, two high-growth SaaS leaders in the digital employee experience (DEX) space, announced today that they have completed their previously-announced merger in a transaction led by Sumeru Equity Partners. The combined company will continue to operate under their current brands until a unified brand is announced later in 2021.

The combination of SocialChorus and Dynamic Signal will create the most innovative and customer-focused provider of digital employee experience cloud-based software. Over 15 million employees across more than 500 customers, including nearly half of Fortune 100 companies, are leveraging the combined organization’s software solutions to foster employee productivity and well-being.

As previously announced, the combined company will unite under the leadership of Gary Nakamura, CEO of SocialChorus. In addition to Nakamura, the combined company will be led by a leadership team made up of executives from both SocialChorus and Dynamic Signal.

“The closing of this transaction is the first step to realizing the great benefits of this combination, and I want to thank the teams at Dynamic Signal and SocialChorus for their incredible efforts which enabled us to reach this milestone,” said Gary Nakamura. “Together we are guided by a shared vision, common values, and laser focus on our customers. We are excited about our future and our vision as we can clearly see how we will unify the digital employee experience, continue to drive innovation and most importantly value for our customers.”

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
