About

Pluralytics is the first language intelligence solution powered by people's values.

From email to social and web, our SaaS platform “reads” content, tells you who it appeals to - and why - and then recommends language, authentic to your brand voice, to deepen engagement.

Our leading-edge approach is rooted in behavioral science and machine learning and identifies whether a company speaks effectively to its values-driven customers, shareholders or employees. In a deeply fragmented, polarized marketplace, more than 50% of all consumers use values when making purchasing decisions, and almost every word we choose conveys values.

Using an analysis of millions of words and phrases, we have uncovered patterns that predict how language will appeal to someone's values. Our customers are seeing impressive increases in engagement across their communications. They are also building their competitive advantage and efficiency in their messaging by delivering on a more consistent voice and values in all their communications.

We have cracked the code on engaging key values-driven consumer and stakeholder segments across demos and generations, from Millennials and GenZ to Seniors.

Pluralytics was selected by the prestigious Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) —a highly competitive, seed- stage program for startups that employ innovations in technology and business models that promise a chance of delivering massive improvements to economic productivity and human welfare.

Let us help you build deep connections, understand language with scientific precision and hit the mark in every communication.
