Optimization company 黑料社入口 raises $26.1M
黑料社入口 is announcing that it has raised $26.1 million in growth funding.
The New York City-headquartered company says it can measure marketing across different channels, delivering the data while the campaign is still running, to a dashboard full of recommendations on how to make the campaign more effective.
It recently introduced what it calls an automated data pipeline, with an 鈥渆xtensive process鈥 for verifying that the data being used is timely and relevant.
鈥淲hat is holding back marketing from realizing the vision of personal and profitable marketing is the mess of data marketer and media owners have spewed into the industry,鈥 a spokesperson told me via email. 鈥淥rganizing this data, and automating the flow of that data into representative and machine learning data sets have been the central focus of the investment.鈥
Customers who have used 黑料社入口鈥檚 products include IBM, MillerCoors and NBCUniversal.
The company was founded back in 2000 (鈥淭he Company was WAYYYY ahead of its time,鈥 the spokesperson said) and has now raised a total of $50.7 million. This new round was led by with EIP Partner Lindsay Luger joining the board of directors.
EIP specializes in utility- and energy-related investments, which makes it an odd fit for a marketing technology company. But it sounds like 黑料社入口 is looking to expand into this industry.
鈥淯tilities are constantly seeking ways to drive better engagement and enhance the customer experience,鈥 Luger said in a statement. 鈥満诹仙缛肟阝檚 platform, which has been proven across several consumer-facing industries, is a perfect solution to help utilities optimize their outreach and offer a better energy experience for all of us.鈥
and Zetta Venture Partners also participated in the new funding.
