Blueshift’s SmartHub CDP platform which combines the data fidelity of a CDP with the intelligence needed for marketers to make real-time decisions, has been adopted by leading global brands including LendingTree, Discovery Inc., Udacity and BBC among others, and has been shown to deliver 781% ROI in a recent study conducted by Forrester Research.
“With the increased urgency towards digital transformation, we have seen an increased demand for a SmartHub CDP, that can not only unify silo-ed data, but also unify silo-ed experiences”, said Vijay Chittoor, co-founder and CEO of Blueshift. “I am very pleased to welcome both Fort Ross Ventures and Avatar Growth Capital to the Blueshift family as they have tremendous experience with enterprise-focused scale-ups at our stage of rapidly accelerating growth.”
“One of the biggest challenges in 1:1 marketing is the need to activate large volumes of data when you scale to millions of customers across multiple touch points. Unlike other platforms that struggle with handling increasing amounts of data, Blueshift becomes more powerful the more data you have in it.”, said Chris Kachel, Senior Director of Customer Experience at LendingTree. “This has allowed us to scale our personalization efforts and customer journeys across multiple apps on different channels, and the results have been tremendous”
