Edison Partners today announced leading a $11 million Series B growth investment in Toronto-based content marketing platform company LookBookHQ. The company will use the funds to further scale sales and marketing, and accelerate product innovation.

LookBookHQ’s Intelligent Content Platform provides B2B marketers with the most effective way to accelerate their prospects’ path to purchase. Since Edison’s initial investment 12 months ago, the company has realized 2.5X recurring revenue growth. The marketing teams of more than 100 enterprise-level organizations now rely on LookBookHQ’s platform to provide sales-ready prospects and attributable and meaningful ROI.

Content marketing is a $200B industry and is expected to climb based on a recent Content Marketing Institute study. “The market opportunity is enormous with 91% of B2B marketers embracing content marketing, and only 42% proving its effectiveness,” said Gregg Michaelson, Partner at Edison Partners, and LookBookHQ board member. “CEO Mark Opauszky and his exceptional team are attacking this issue head-on. With this funding, we look forward to continuing to help the company drive exponential growth and deliver content marketing effectiveness for its customers.”

“We’re pleased to be in a position to accept an additional growth investment from Edison Partners,” said Mark Opauszky, LookBookHQ co-founder and CEO. “We’re grateful for the team’s marketing technology and operating expertise, which has been invaluable in helping us reach new customers and scale our operations. This is an exciting next chapter on our growth journey.”
