By understanding the value of creating an owned mobile messaging channel, Mobivity helped us amass valuable first-party customer data that insulated us from the downturn of sports, large gatherings, catering and other forms of traditional advertising. By owning a direct, targeted and personalized channel, we were able to not only sustain, but grow customer frequency and spend despite clear challenges imposed by the pandemic.” Part of the Tech Breakthrough Awards organization, each year the MarTech Breakthrough Awards honor excellence and recognize innovation in a range of marketing, sales and advertising technology-related categories, including marketing automation, customer experience, email marketing and more.
