This award comes at a time when interest in the customer data platform (CDP) category is at a high. According to Gartner, Inc.’s newly released “Hype Cycle for Digital Marketing and Advertising, 2018,” “Marketer interest in CDPs skyrocketed in 2017 as inquiry volume on the topic increased fourfold.” The report continues: “As marketers place increasing value on customer data modeling and personalization initiatives, the challenge to unify and manage customer data is more pressing than ever. The CDP promises to provide the connective tissue between and among tools in the marketer’s stack, and help marketers harness and activate their first-party data.”

Evergage CMO Andy Zimmerman said: “The ‘Best CDP’ honor from the MarTech Breakthrough Awards affirms Evergage’s market vision, highlights our category leadership and underscores the tremendous results our customers have achieved.
