The Series C investment will help Anagog bolster its global sales and delivery capabilities as well as leverage the funds to support the core R&D; team - including several new product innovations that will be revealed in the coming months. As the industry currently grapples with unclear changes ahead, these additions will serve as the missing link needed to provide accurate views of real-time and real-world customer insight as they emerge out of the current crisis. At the same time, this will offer richer, contextual services that create a unique and enhanced user experience. It will be pivotal in further setting Anagog apart from competition and serving as a catalyst to disrupt the way companies reach and connect with their core audiences, now and in the future.
Speaking exclusively to MarTech Advisor, Ofer Tziperman, CEO of Anagog said, "Each industry -- whether it's retail, banking, automotive, telecom, and beyond -- wants to have a much deeper and accurate understanding of who their customers are to enhance overall experiences and engagement. With the support of our investors, we're positioned to further accelerate Anagog's product innovations that help achieve this, and continue to paint a much more comprehensive picture of users' real-world behaviors and real-time context for brands to best connect with their core audiences. In the post Coronavirus era, the need for brands to identify the 'new normal' situation of their consumers, as soon as possible, will become a key factor to engage them ahead of the competition."
