Case Study: FestiVote builds a 7,000‑festival database and accelerates app launch with CloudFactory

Launching a groundbreaking app with agile data enrichment

FestiVote, an audience engagement app founded by Philippe and Anne-Mari Macridis, needed to rapidly build a target list of festival contacts to launch and market their voting and engagement platform. To extract and organize data from thousands of film festivals quickly, FestiVote partnered with CloudFactory and used CloudFactory’s Efficient Managed Workforce to scale data enrichment beyond what their small team could handle.

CloudFactory scraped information from roughly 6,000 festival websites, supplemented it with additional sources, and delivered a robust database of nearly 7,000 film festival profiles in just over two months, increasing FestiVote’s labeling capacity fourfold. By handling the data extraction and organization, CloudFactory freed the founders to focus on outreach and partnerships while providing measurable results—7,000 profiles built and 4x internal labeling capacity—accelerating FestiVote’s market rollout.
