Our take
Digital marketing campaigns are essential for scaling a business and acquiring new customers. Modern campaigns favor the use of proprietary data, but the siloed nature of existing marketing firms presents limitations, 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. Wpromote has made strategic acquisitions and been recognized as an innovator in the space, as well as gathering investment that it is using to accelerate growth and expand its offerings.
