Description
Hightouch is a comprehensive data and AI platform designed specifically for marketing and personalization, positioning itself as both a Composable Customer Data Platform (CDP) and an AI Decisioning Platform. The platform enables businesses to find insights, run real-time campaigns, and build AI agents using all their data without requiring data storage or duplication. Hightouch is built around existing data warehouses, bringing full CDP capabilities to current data investments without requiring changes to tech stacks, data copying, or introducing security risks. The platform offers two main solutions: AI Decisioning and Composable CDP. The AI Decisioning Platform features AI agents that provide every customer with personalized experiences by experimenting on a 1:1 basis to unlock growth in lifetime value and loyalty. These AI agents decide the best content to send by pulling from content libraries and matching messages with customers based on their probability of taking action. The system allows businesses to set goals and guardrails while testing and learning across every customer interaction. The Composable CDP provides self-service access to data for marketers, enabling them to build any audience using all organizational data, not just users and events. The platform includes powerful no-code audience builders, customer journey planning capabilities, real-time personalization features, and AI-powered insights for measuring and analyzing customer data and campaign performance directly from the data warehouse. Hightouch connects to over 250 tools, eliminating the need for building and maintaining pipelines or uploading CSVs. Hightouch has demonstrated significant results for major clients, with case studies showing impressive outcomes: Whoop boosted member engagement by 128%, WeightWatchers increased new member growth by 52%, and various clients have managed over 1000 audiences with 200% boosts in engagement. The platform is trusted by innovative companies and has been recognized as an industry leader, offering enterprise-level security with ISO 27001 certification, SOC 2 & SOC 3 compliance, and HIPAA compliance.
