Consistently handling large outbound volumes and ongoing feature enhancements have proved key for this full-service reseller
Summary
Founded in 2014 by David Cerrone, Mudshare specializes in peer-to-peer texting as well as email and voice solutions. The company supports political campaigns, nonprofits, advocacy groups, and retail customers with data aggregation and marketing communications.

“I’m a relationship person, and everything we do hinges on that. Our relationship with Esendex goes back over twenty years and is about more than the technology they offer or pricing. I look for partners who are receptive to our ideas and can respond and adapt quickly to changes in the market.”

Challenge & Key Obstacles
Mudshare offers a P2P messaging service that focuses on improving deliverability rates and growing audience share compliantly. With large outbound volumes in MMS and SMS at a ratio of approximately 70:30, deliverability, immediacy, data visibility, and compliance all play a key role in campaign success.
With a business relationship that spans over twenty years, Mudshare has called upon Esendex to partner and help manage a significant outbound volume of MMS and SMS messaging to grow audience and constituency share, and achieve higher open and engagement rates.
“Since 2019 when P2P texting became legal in America, it’s been the preferred voter outreach communication tool as it is far more cost-effective and immediate than the door-to-door canvassing and cold calling of the past. However, staying on top of changing legislation is an ongoing challenge, so we need to partner with reputable businesses like Esendex who help us to stay on top of our operating environment.“
