Helping Brands Understand “Why” Consumers Make Purchasing Decisions Fuels Significant Revenue and Client Growth
RESTON, Va., May 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a business climate where direct brand relationships with consumers are increasingly vital, Resonate’s dynamic, always-on consumer intelligence marketing platform is experiencing unprecedented growth due to the wholly unique consumer behaviors, values and motivations it provides to companies.
Fueled largely by the need among brands to gain deeper consumer intelligence in the disrupted, direct-to-consumer (DTC) economy, Resonate has experienced 81% year-over-year revenue growth and a 122% year-over-year increase in EBITA. Resonate operates across more than 14 different vertical markets, including banking, automotive, retail, financial services and others. In particular, the company has seen massive growth within the CPG vertical, as these companies strive to gain an understanding of their consumers within the new direct brand economy and amid a rising tide of disruptive competitors.
Further, as a testament to the value being seen by current clients, Resonate also saw a three-fold increase in expansion bookings from existing client relationships over the past year. Overall, this growth has resulted in a 64% increase in Resonate’s annual recurring revenue (ARR) for its SaaS subscription platform, excluding business development deals.
Traditional and disruptor brands alike rely on Resonate’s more than 12,000 consumer attributes, representing more than 200 million U.S. adult consumers to help them understand why people buy from certain brands and how their values and motivations guide their choices.
“Resonate gives me a definitive view of the difference between actual and self-reported behavior and motivation,” said Jonathan Lee, Chief Strategy Officer, Grey New York. “Resonate is a fundamental tool for us — something my data strategy and planners work on every day.”
“Resonate gives us the ability to understand consumers better than our competition,” said Stuart Meyler, President, Beeby Clark + Meyler. “The platform is catching fast-moving trends, and getting those insights quickly is a competitive advantage.”
