Since Cheetah Digital by Marigold became an independent marketing company two years ago, we’ve focused heavily on connecting with and understanding the needs of our customers, as well as investing in infrastructure and product improvements to drive better performance, resiliency, and uptime. We have completely rethought our mission, technology stack, services framework, and therefore our identity, to focus on how we can help today’s marketers excel at next generation marketing.
We’ve worked the last two years to deliver the next generation of customer engagement technology to make marketers more aware of the modern consumer’s needs, more accurate in their decisions, and more data-centric in how they optimize a consumer’s experience across every digital moment. Today, we’re taking our first big step toward bringing that identity to life with the announcement of our Customer Engagement Suite, along with numerous additional product innovations and features.
Despite marketing technology advancements, brands are still struggling to unify and activate customer data. Customer data platforms — although positioned in the market as the answer — lack the seamless coordination marketers need to create cross-channel customer experiences at scale. Built specifically for marketers, the Cheetah Digital by Marigold is the only solution in the market that combines the depth and breadth of a robust data platform with real-time, cross-channel execution capabilities in a single, unified solution.
Comprised of Marigold Grow, Cheetah Digital by Marigold , and Marigold Loyalty with the powerful, foundational data layer of Cheetah Digital by Marigold , our full Customer Engagement Suite can deliver a complete lifecycle set of solutions for marketers — from acquisition through loyalty.
Marigold Grow
As marketers look to create more relevant, personalized customer experiences, they must also ensure they’re protecting their customers’ personal information. We believe zero-party data is the solution to this struggle, and the future of how brands will engage with consumers. This is why we acquired Wayin — to develop an integrated solution within the Customer Engagement Suite that allows marketers to launch digital experiences that collect permissioned data. Today, Wayin becomes Marigold Grow.
This solution allows marketers to quickly and easily create interactive campaigns using a library of prebuilt experiences and push these experiences across channels to acquire first- and zero-party data. When combined with Cheetah Digital by Marigold , marketers can benefit from real-time data flow into a central data management system to deliver personalized campaigns across the customer lifecycle.
Cheetah Digital by Marigold
In the past, our clients have considered themselves either CheetahMail customers or Marketing Suite customers. Now, whether you need to send high volume, batch emails with rapid end-to-end deployment times or you’re looking to build complex triggered or targeted campaigns, all of that is one solution and available now as Cheetah Digital by Marigold .
We’ve completely redesigned our Marketing Suite campaign creation workflow and unified it with the CheetahMail workflow, addressing usability issues and streamlining campaign setup — resulting in a 40% decrease in the time it takes to create a campaign. We’ve also added several new enhancements, including content designer and ad audiences, to make this email marketing solution even more powerful. And when you use Cheetah Digital by Marigold and Cheetah Digital by Marigold together, you get the robust insights and optimized data you need to deliver one-to-one messages at scale.
Marigold Loyalty
In July 2018, Cheetah Digital by Marigold acquired Stellar Loyalty because we understand that relationships don’t end at a purchase. Building attachment to your brand requires powerful data capabilities and the right tools to manage the customer/brand relationship in meaningful ways beyond the transaction.
Being recognized as a Leader in the Forrester Wave for Loyalty Platforms speaks volumes about how effective this technology is — and it’s only getting better. Because Marigold Loyalty is fully integrated with Cheetah Digital by Marigold and other solutions, you can leverage the Customer Engagement Suite as a vehicle to take your loyalty programs much further than simply tracking points.

Data is the fuel for modern marketing. But with unwieldy tech stacks that don’t integrate easily or accurately, connecting and activating all that data has been a constant struggle. That’s why we developed Cheetah Digital by Marigold as the core of all our solutions. Designed for marketers and integrated directly into our solutions, this data layer is the foundation on which relevant, engaging, customer-centric marketing campaigns can be executed.
Already being used by some of the world’s leading brands, the Cheetah Digital by Marigold offers marketers unprecedented, real-time access to the customer record, a library of analytical models and tactics, and a real-time decisioning engine that can respond to customer signals and deliver the next best action with automated customer journeys. This innovation provides real-time data collection, profile unification, segmentation, and machine learning-driven insights — while enabling personalized cross-channel communications, customer experiences, and loyalty programs all from a single platform.
If you’re using one or many external data platforms — including a CDP — we’re making it easy to connect with us and use the data in your day-to-day solutions, including your brand’s internal systems, advertising platforms, and partner ecosystems. If you need to upgrade your data management capabilities, Cheetah Digital by Marigold is natively connected to systems of action and can be your data solution of choice for any Cheetah Digital by Marigold solution you use today.
