Gartner Includes Customer Experience Leader Kitewheel in Its 2016 Magic Quadrant for Digital Marketing Hubs


BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - Jan 12, 2016) - Kitewheel, provider of the leading Consumer Journey Hub for marketing agencies, today announced that it has been included in Gartner's new Magic Quadrant for Digital Marketing Hubs*.

Gartner defines a digital marketing hub as providing marketers with standardized access to audience profile data, content, workflow elements, messaging and common analytic functions for orchestrating and optimizing multichannel campaigns, conversations, experiences, and data collection across online and offline channels, both manually and programmatically. Delivered in a single hub, Kitewheel uses unified cross-channel data and analytics to orchestrate and optimize multichannel customer journeys across silos and touchpoints, and works seamlessly with existing marketing and advertising technologies.

"We are thrilled to be featured in this new Gartner report on digital marketing hub," says Kitewheel's president Mark Smith, Ph.D. "The Kitewheel Consumer Journey Hub is agnostic to the wealth of marketing and advertising data and technology already in place at brands. Our hub ties martech and adtech together for the orchestration of great consumer experiences. Kitewheel's inclusion in this report validates our highly differentiated approach among the big suite vendors and their marketing clouds."
