Founded in 2015, Cognism has seen explosive growth, going from $13.6M to $31M in revenue in the last year alone and sitting at over 320 employees. In this episode, we discuss the advantages of choosing a large target market and an essential product, and James explains how Cognism is targeting their ideal customer with a focused brand narrative.
