The Company serves multiple customer cohorts, including public relations, influencer marketing, customer service, small-and-medium-sized businesses, as well as mid-market companies, and enterprise customers.
The complaint alleges, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors:
(1) the Company’s sales and revenue growth were not indicative of the Company’s growth as it transitioned to an enterprise sales cycle;
(2) that the Company faced integration challenges with its acquisition of Tagger;
(3) as a result, the Company was “self inducing sales headwinds;”
(4) as a result, the Company would revise fiscal year 2024 revenue guidance; and
(5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis, thereby harming investors.
