Global Growth and Product Investments

The company is 375 members strong and has ambitious hiring plans. It was ranked by Battery Ventures as one of the 25 highest rated private cloud companies to work for during the COVID crisis. It has opened up offices in the UK, Germany and Vietnam over the past year, with plans to open offices in New York City and Boston this year. The company also plans to invest in strengthening the partnership ecosystem and the #GROWTH Peer-to-Peer learning community.
"Our rapid growth can be attributed to investments in the areas of product innovation and customer success. Over the last two years we have made significant investments in Sherpa, our AI engine, to add a layer of intelligence. Today, our AI engine delivers actionable insights to determine users who have a propensity to churn, the best performing customer journey path, most preferred channel, ideal frequency, and the right time to communicate. We will continue our investments to extend our lead in this space," said Dodda. "As the digital space becomes competitive, we envision brands shifting from a rule-based tool to an intelligent platform that empowers marketers & product owners with AI-driven insights and optimization."
