Our take
eCommerce marketing company Rokt is helping brands leverage the power of good timing. With Rokt, brands can present their customers with AI-curated offers and messages at every stage in their transaction, at tailored times of the day, or to market themselves at the point of transaction on other major eCommerce sites.
The idea is that “transaction moments” are when shoppers are most inclined to engage further with the brand or its products - the success of Rokt’s clients, and the runaway success of Rokt itself, show that it's successfully cracked it.
Rokt has a strong client base that includes giants like Groupon, GoDaddy, and Disney, and after hitting Unicorn status, it is eyeing up a US IPO. This should come as no surprise - the surge in eCommerce trade over recent years has led to most companies investing in tools to stay competitive.
Rokt has expanded its tool suite since it first started up, and will be focused on continuing to innovate to keep ahead of the MarTech pack, and abreast of changing demand in the rapidly shifting market. The eCommerce marketing tech sector has ballooned to a $120B global operation - Rokt is positioned comfortably to keep ahead.
