Customer Retention Cloud provider Sailthru has acquired Carnival, maker of a mobile marketing automation platform. The acquisition will allow Sailthru to give brands such as JustFab and TaskRabbit the ability to use cross-channel personalization, automation and analytics based on a single customer profile.
Sailthru manages more than 1.7 billion unique worldwide customer profiles, and the data enables retailers and media marketers to deliver a seamless, cross-channel experience to each individual. With the integration of Carnival, mobile engagements will also be informed by these profiles.
Carnival’s Mobile Marketing Suite features push notifications, in-app messaging, mobile analytics and a customizable message center that allows marketers to automate messages by customer behavior, location and demographic data.

We believe that human connections matter more than ever before, and in Carnival, we’ve found a complementary company that delivers on this vision.”
