About Us

Cohort Digital ABN 13 562 062 502 is an Australian company aiming to bring you some of the best offers, discounts and competitions on the Internet. All of the offers have been chosen specifically to benefit you by giving you something fun, useful, entertaining or just downright cheaper than usual! All we ask is that you complete a sign-up survey so that we can bring you further offers, either by email, mail or phone, which match your lifestyle. The information you give us in the survey will help us to choose the offers and competitions which most closely match your interests, so the more you can tell us, the more relevant your offers will be.

We also run prize draws, many of which are exclusive to Cohort Digital and provided by our clients. Each time you complete a short sponsored question at the website and answer the relevant questions, you'll be entered into the corresponding prize draw. Our clients ask these questions to help them understand what kinds of products and services Australian consumers would like to see. This may be information ranging from what kind of holiday breaks you enjoy right through to whether you've recently bought a new car. By collecting your answers, and those of other Australian consumers, we help clients bring new products onto the market which will match your requirements, or to improve existing products.

Cohort Digital is a permission-based marketing organisation, working with major high-street and online brand names to bring you offers, information and competitions. All our clients are reputable companies and any email you receive from us will carry a clear statement of origination (saying it's from us, using the information you provided when you signed up) and the option to unsubscribe from any further emails.
