Our take
GrowthLoop’s no-code data interface allows enterprises to unlock first-party customer data stored in their own warehouses and quickly create target customer segments for more impactful marketing, advertising, and sales.
One of the major challenges for companies these days is to effectively activate the data they gather. Thus, a solution like GrowthLoop’s has the potential to turn data warehouses into growth engines without having to use external Customer Data Platforms.
The company, which until 2022 was built without any capital investment, has an impressive client list which includes Google Cloud, Indeed, NASCAR and the Boston Red Sox. Funds raised in 2022 allowed GrowthLoop to expand its services and invest in new features for the platform - such as a first-of-its-kind AI audience builder, a GenAI Marketing solution in partnership with Google Cloud and Typeface and a cross-channel journey builder for the data cloud.
