Big news! The latest Forrester Wave™ report for Cross-Channel Marketing Hubs, Q4 2024, is here, and we’re honored to be named a top 4 vendor alongside Salesforce and Adobe. Download and read the full report—link in the comments. Forrester describes Cross-Channel Marketing Hubs (CCMHs) as The Nerve Center of the B2C Martech Ecosystem and I am proud to see MoEngage as the leading new-age CCMH platform, within 10 years of our founding. Our focus has always been on our customers—driving innovation to help them connect with their customers in more powerful, meaningful ways. Forrester’s findings align closely with what we’re hearing from the brands we partner with: ➡️ Scalability and flexibility: Enterprise buyers are drawn to robust platforms, but flexibility and deeper innovation are key for digital-first brands. ➡️ Marketer challenges: While CCMHs are advancing rapidly, many marketers struggle to adopt innovations like AI at scale. As markets and competitors evolve, we’ve widened the gap year-over-year in terms of the capabilities and value that our customers get from the MoEngage platform. To our incredible customers like SoundCloud, Poshmark, and Tata Digital—this recognition is as much yours as it is ours. Your trust and partnership drive us forward every day.

It was a pleasure to welcome Eight Roads venture partner Stephanie Robotham from the Bay Area and to host a series of events on “B2B GTM in an increasingly competitive and saturated market” for some of #london's top #startup #founders and VCs. Summary here and key insights in comments below 👇 TLDR: It’s never been more important to stand out and be creative with your GTM. If you focus purely on optimising “coin-op” performance marketing and direct sales you risk getting lost in the noise and drowning in rising CAC. And it’s never been more important to breakdown silos and integrate a “flywheel” of Sales, Marketing & Customer Success. Thank you to my great colleagues for helping to organise!
