In Dialogue With Travis Montaque (2021)

Sharad had the chance to speak with Travis Montaque, the CEO and founder of the fast-growing conversational media company, Holler. With the increased need for connection over the past year and a half, Holler speaks in the language of today’s media: personalized stickers, GIFs, and privacy-safe AI technology. We discussed the art and science behind Holler, Montaque’s personal and professional growth during the pandemic, and the future of Holler’s content creation.

Watch the interview below to learn more about how Holler works and what exciting new developments are just around the corner for Travis and his dynamic team.

Travis on his mission statement:

“I founded Holler with a simple mission: to make digital chat better. Because I believe conversations between screens need content that helps people express themselves, inspire discussions, show empathy, and form deeper connections.

In our digital world, too much of what we’re trying to say gets lost in translation. Content in the right context helps. Since our inception, Holler has helped millions of people across the globe have better chats. And we’re far from finished.

But, that isn’t all that drives me.

I’m passionate about diversity, equity, and belonging in the workplace and breaking the tech industry’s minority barriers. I’m determined to build the next generation of tech on a foundation of data privacy and user trust. And I’m dedicated to innovating the way we advertise, connecting brands to consumers in a more meaningful way.”
