Gigantic billboards in midtown Manhattan, all over the subway, etc. seems kind of odd for a vpn service
yeah big Mullvad posters on Metro buses here in Los Angeles…I was like wow Mullvad is this big?
Mullvad also runs firefox’s VPN service. They get big contract money from that
it is the ONLY marketing they do…
revenue for 2022 was 162 466 000 sek €13 992 830
profit margin of 29.19%
So they do have some money to spend.
Mullvad is one of the more expensive VPN with 5 flat per month most other vpn are around 1-3 per month so yeah…
mullvad also isnt small as you see on many platforms they also Resell the VPN to mozilla and malwarebytes.
They have money because they dont pay blogs, youtubers (influencers) to push the sales they dont need ads its just the best VPN service on the market.
Guess what will happen when TikTok is banned in the US? I’m pretty sure many TikTok users will start using VPN and they may remember the Mullvad advertisements.
It’s quite unfortunate. Means more of its IPs will be flagged and all of us will need to do more capchas
Glad they do no false advertising like nordvpn with trash content creators
I know some people who work at Mullvad in Sweden,
Unlike many other companies that are just looking to make more money like NordVPN family, they are actually working to educate people.
They actually invest so much of their profit in such things instead of paying various youtubers or review sites to write fake reviews for them.
I really respect them for that!
This way they are making people think about their digital and online privacy!
The only concern is all the advertisements cost boatloads of money. Again with what is happening in Texas and other states, and TikTok, there may be greater interest in VPN’s.
If it generates more sales, Great. If it does not, then the leadership may be tempted to cut corners which could mean loss of a little or a lot of privacy. Which is not what we want.
No mullvad ads in NI
Ever wonder why there was such a massive VPN boom a few years ago?
It’s VPNs cost basically nothing to run.
Warner media bankrolls mullvad so they can see who downloads illegally
Damn I didn’t add an /s since I thought it was obvious. Sorry team.
I’ve never seen ads for it before and I was in New York a few weeks ago. Same thing, ads all on the sides of buses.
Yeah, saw one down in the Red line last time I rode.
I do not think Mullvad expensive being at 5 euros per month. Which VPNs charge 1-3 euros per month?
Running a VPN is extremely profitable specially if you rent a lot , upkeep is minimal
it does help that they resell to mozilla and malwarebytes.
You overestimate tiktokers intelligence
