While TINT’s State of Social and User-generated Content 2023 research reveals that consumers trust authentic content from customers and community members more than any other type of content.

We are excited to join TINT in inspiring and amplifying the voices of consumers. By embracing Community Powered Marketing, brands can have direct, emotional, and engaging relationships with their best consumers, building an army of advocates who share in an authentic and powerful way.” says Sue Frech, Founder and CEO, Vesta. “The knowledge and experience of Two Roads Advisors was integral to the successful completion of this acquisition deal, and I am thankful for their invaluable contributions.”
