Simon Data: A Better Way to Market

Brands today need a way to develop and deliver incredible personalization capabilities without needing to build and maintain massive bespoke data infrastructure. NYC-based Simon Data’s Customer Data Platform (CDP) empowers brands to deliver data-driven, personalized customer experiences anywhere.

Founded in 2013, Simon Data was purpose-built to solve the everyday challenges including Legacy technology, siloed data, and inefficient workflows. This allows their customers to focus on what matters the most – creating great customer experiences. “Simon effectively enabled us to three-fold our campaign volume during the holidays while maintaining a high resolution of message targeting,” says Frances Comey, Retention Marketing Manager of BarkBox.

Simon Data collects data and leverages the power of machine learning to create automated and complex types of interactions. It serves large companies including Tripadvisor, Venmo, Asos, and Equinox. “Companies across all industries require a more holistic view of the customer journey, but often don’t know where to start,” says Doina Harris, CPO of Simon Data. “Our momentum and position are driven by our ability to help brands build that complete customer view, develop better strategies, and drive superior personalization wherever their customers are.”

A Case Study

TeePublic is a big marketplace for independent creators where they can sell their work printed to order on high-quality merchandise. It was founded in 2013 to empower creators to turn their passion into profit. TeePublic offers over a million designs on over a hundred product types, including t-shirts, stickers, phone cases, and mugs.

The company was looking for a partner who could help it accelerate the growth in paid social to drive gross profit. They were already using Facebook’s pixel and sending their product feed for dynamic ads, but did not have confidence that additional spend would have a high marginal ROAS or provide incremental revenue. On the long-term too TeePublic wanted a strategic partner that was able to handle all their channels.

Simon Data was able to integrate into TeePublic’s database. It built a granular segmentation using order and engagement data. It synced the audiences to those on Facebook. With such audiences, TeePublic was able to break paid social efforts into three mutually exclusive groups: Acquisition, Remarketing and Re-engagement. Simon Data’s integration brought in fantastic results as there was a 161% increase in paid social revenue, 121% increase in paid social spend, and a 21% increase inpaid social ROAS.
