Our take
Digital marketing campaigns are essential in scaling a business and acquiring new customers and, with the privacy issues of cookies showing limitations for futureproofed data-driven marketing, modern campaigns favor the use of proprietary data. However, the siloed nature of existing marketing firms presents limitations this, with strategies focussing too heavily on blindly meeting KPIs as opposed to providing accurate and optimized data insights.
Wpromote provides digital marketing services specializing in customer acquisition; aiming to provide holistic, customer-centric, omnichannel campaigns that maximize the efficacy of proprietary data. This is achieved through the platform Polaris, which features predictive modeling and other data analysis tools to extract actionable insights from otherwise siloed, inaccurate, and inefficient data.
Whilst the company faces competition from digital marketing firms focused on future-proofing proprietary data, the company has a uniquely transparent approach in identifying the inefficiencies of its competitors and promising to solve them. Over the last few years, Wpromote has made strategic acquisitions and been recognized as an innovator in the space. Investment from the private equity firm ZMC will now aid it in accelerating growth and further expanding its product offerings.
