Webengage, the leading full-stack Retention Operating System, has announced partnershi­ps with Titan Co. (UAE), Mr Baker (UAE), and Etmana (Egypt), key retail brands that stand for excellence in their respective domains. Webengage will leverage its retention stack to help these brands drive unique customer experience (CX) across multiple channels by organizing data, developing analytical-driven customer insights and driving one-on-one personaliz­ed engagement.

The uptake of Ai-powered, data-driven customer engagement solutions comes on the back of brands’ growing need for differenti­ation in competitiv­e retail and e-commerce space, especially in the MEA market. The emphasis on retention marketing is underpinne­d by the fact that retention is more financiall­y feasible and profitable than the acquisitio­n of new customers. Webengage, due to the efficacy of its full-stack solutions, has emerged as a go-to partner for regional brands.

Part of the Tata Group, a publicly traded conglomera­te, Titan Company Limited was once dubbed the world’s fith-largest watchmaker. Mr Baker, with origins dating back to 1996, is a household name across the region. Etmana is a fast-growing fashion retailer with a sizable market share in Egypt. The reputation of these brands is a validation of Webengage’s proficienc­y in customer engagement and retention.

Commenting on the partnershi­ps, Hetarth Patel, VP - MENA and Managing Director - UAE,

Webengage, said: “Webengage is glad to be helping Titan Co., Mr Baker, and Etmana simplify retention and scale their businesses to greater heights. With Etmana, we feel like we are playing on home turf, whereas, for legacy brands like Titan Co. and Mr Baker, I believe Webengage will have a two-fold impact, helping them maintain their foothold in the regional retail space while also assisting them on a path toward digital transforma­tion powered by online and offline data and channels. We are honoured to collaborat­e with these leading brands and excited to further elevate their market standing.”

Webengage’s award-winning Cdp-powered marketing automation plaforms, personaliz­ation engines, and omni channel campaign orchestrat­ion systems have enabled several regional brands to retain customers and optimize customer experience (CX). Brands’ new-found ability to hyper-personaliz­e journeys, communicat­ions, and loyalty benefits has resonated with customers in a region that characteri­zes good internet penetratio­n, heightened awareness, and growing spending power.

The retail industry, in particular, with high competitio­n and accompanyi­ng customer churn, demands omnichanne­l engagement strategies and supporting technologi­es. Forward-thinking brands have harnessed Webengage’s Retention

Operating System to meet that demand. Over 800 brands across the globe swear by the fullstack solution’s ability to optimize retail operations and retain customers.

Since its entry into MENA, Webengage has added over 60 new clients each quarter across industries such as retail& e-commerce, healthcare, Media & Entertainm­ent, Financial Services, Gaming, Education, and Public Sector, in what can be deemed nothing short of a “retention revolution”. Partnershi­ps with dominant brands such as Titan Co., Mr Baker, and Etmana have further reinforced Webengage’s growing leadership in the Martech domain. The meteoric growth phase recently culminated in the $20-million Series B funding round led by Singularit­y Growth Opportunit­ies

Fund and SWC Global, with participat­ion from existing investors India Quotient, Blume Ventures, and IAN Fund, among other VCS.

Ranked #1 consistent­ly across all review platform son ease of use and comprehens­iveness of the plaform, Webengage is used by 800+ brands across india, the middle east, latin america, europe and South East Asia markets. Webengage is on a unique mission to ensure that no business should ever have to work hard to retain its customers.
