Lytics

Series C in 2019
Lytics helps companies orchestrate more relevant marketing through the only enterprise-grade Customer Data Platform (CDP). Nestle, General Mills, Atlassian, The Economist, Heineken, and other leading companies use Lytics to choreograph one-to-one interactions across marketing channels that their customers welcome. The Lytics Customer Data Platform (CDP), the company's flagship product, was launched in October 2014. The Lytics CDP connects a company's marketing data about customers and users from multiple sources (e.g., structured and unstructured data from tools, anonymous and known profiles, and other interactions and events from the marketing stack, sales, and support databases) and creates behavior-rich user-profiles and segments (e.g., likely to churn, most active on mobile, coupon lover). These customer profiles and segments then sync with a company's marketing tools (from website personalization and ad retargeting, to email marketing and content optimization) to improve marketing campaign results and reduce inefficiencies. Many marketing technology vendors claim to offer a "customer data platform." Lytics has the only customer data platform that is easy enough for a beginner marketer to use, but technically sophisticated enough to impress software developers and data scientists. Lytics builds a profile based on unifying any fragment of customer information using sophisticated data science and conducts probabilistic matching to merge identities. The result: a rich profile of a consumer that can power one-to-one marketing in third-party martech tools, APIs, and Lytics own native execution platform. Lytics is led by marketing-technology veterans who’ve held leadership positions at Webtrends, Urban Airship, Jive, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. We are headquartered in Portland, Oregon.
