Our take
Bluecore uses data gained from direct marketing like email, social media, site activity and combines that with machine learning to make better predictions about who might want to buy what. In turn this helps turn casual consumers into lifetime customers for its clients, predominantly large retailers such as Sephora, CVS, Teleflora and Tommy Hilfiger.
Competitors include Wunderkind, dotdigital Engagement Cloud, Salesforce Email Studio and ActiveCampaign.
The business proposition of Bluecore is widely valued by both the investment and retail communities thanks to its focus on predictable customer bases within an increasingly unpredictable market. After its unicorn-making Series E funding in 2021, Bluecore continues to reinvent how brands and retailers can engage with shoppers, helping drive the shift toward digital-first commerce. In 2024, Bluecore acquired AI shopping assistant platform alby, indicating Bluecore's efforts to remain at the technological forefront of its market.
