NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Simon Data, the market-leading customer data platform (CDP) that enables brands to deliver incredible customer experiences everywhere, has tripled its roster of enterprise clients and expanded operations fueled by its Series C.
“It’s a tremendous time for the category, and for our business specifically,” said Jason Davis, CEO and Co-Founder of Simon Data. “The promise of a complete, operational customer view is finally here - and the ensuing possibilities for better customer experience are actually being realized.”
The CDP market continues to receive significant investment from enterprise players like Salesforce and Adobe, as well as venture capital firms of all sizes. The market experienced 65% growth in total funding in 2018 and is on pace to exceed that figure this year.
The growth is driven by an ever-increasing mandate for CMOs to drive dynamic one-to-one personalization for their customers - connecting online and offline experiences and leveraging data science. Existing marketing and data technologies have proven that they’re simply not up to the task.
