Damien Mahoney from StacklaAbout Stackla
Stackla was a software platform that let brands collect photos and videos posted by customers on social media, curate them and show them across their websites and other marketing channels. Damien Mahoney and Peter Cassidy founded it in Sydney in 2012, and it later made San Francisco its headquarters. Nosto, a Helsinki-based ecommerce personalisation company, acquired Stackla in June 2021, and stackla.com now redirects to Nosto's shoppable UGC product.
