Origins of the Name


Where does Ballyhoo come from? An early idea I worked on was to build a marketplace for nano-influencers with less than 10,000 Instagram followers. The name stuck, the marketplace did not.

ballyhoo

[ noun bal-ee-hoo; verb bal-ee-hoo, bal-ee-hoo ]

noun, plural bal·ly·hoos.

a clamorous and vigorous attempt to win customers or advance any cause.
