YML Builds Digital Experience That Helps Polestar IPO
By YML
“This is the agency that will help us sell more cars.”
Polestar, the Swedish electric vehicle company and YML client, is the latest electric car manufacturer to go public following a merger with special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). According to InsideEVs, the Polestar SPAC involved Gores Guggenheim Inc, raising $890 million in the process.
The Polestar IPO marks YML's 10th client to go public or earn a billion dollar valuation.
Polestar partnered with YML in 2021 to create a new, state-of-the-art web experience as impressive and exhilarating as the car itself. The data from Polestar's previous web experience showed a significant drop-off as soon as people landed there, resulting in significant loss of market share.
“YML delivered exceptional work in just hours and days, which we expected to take weeks and months.”
Kyle Denlinger Head of Digital and IT, North America, Polestar
