What Audience Town does

Audience Town is a B2B SaaS consumer intelligence platform purpose-built for the residential real estate industry, founded in 2018 and headquartered in New York, United States. The company operates a unified AI marketing platform that enables home builders, marketing and advertising agencies, and consumer brands to reach and convert home movers through data-driven insights, advertising activation, and analytics. The platform combines consumer signals, property data, and behavioral indicators to identify likely home movers and track home transactions across the residential real estate lifecycle.

The platform consists of four core products — Analytics, AI Toolkit, Audience Segments (Data), and Advertising — all powered by the proprietary Whengine® home mover intelligence engine. Whengine® is built on a comprehensive dataset covering 280M US adults and 120M households with 72-hour data refresh cycles, enabling household-level identity matching that covers 95% of website visitors versus 2-5% with generic CDPs. The platform integrates with leading technology providers including Google, Meta, HubSpot, LiveRamp, TradeDesk, Experian, Cotality, ECI Lasso, OpenAI, and Anthropic, enabling activation across Connected TV, digital display, streaming audio, geotargeting, and data-driven direct mail channels.

The company operates a multi-channel distribution model combining direct enterprise sales, agency partnerships, and a self-serve platform. The customer base spans 80+ new construction builders (including Lennar, Maronda Homes, K. Hovnanian Homes, EGStoltzfus Homes, Lombardo Homes, Blue Apron, and Bear Mattresses), 20+ advertising platforms, and 3,000+ consumer brands. The company has raised $9.2M in total funding, including a $6.1M seed round closed in March 2022, and has reported 200% year-over-year revenue growth.

Whengine is built on the #1 superset of consumer and property data covering 280M US adults and 120M households to identify who is moving where, why, and when. The platform also offers add-on modules including Audience Targeting (for Meta retargeting) and Attribution (for CRM-connected path-to-purchase tracking). Advertising products span Connected TV, streaming audio, digital display, geotargeting, data-driven direct mail, and Meta retargeting.
