Strategic Partnership Between Kahuna and McFayden Digital Was Formed to Offer Marketplace Operators a More Intelligent Way to Connect Their Buyers and Sellers

McFadyen Digital, a leading global digital commerce agency, and Kahuna, the first customer engagement platform for digital marketplaces, announced a new strategic partnership. The partnership will combine Kahuna’s innovative cloud-based buyer marketing, seller optimization, and liquidity capabilities with McFadyen Digital’s deep E-commerce and online marketplace expertise.

Together McFadyen and Kahuna are creating a fast-track accelerator program for incorporating the Kahuna platform into the Mirakl online marketplaces that McFadyen implements for their clients operating Magento or Oracle-based eCommerce properties. The goal of this program is to work with leading product and service marketplaces as well as global retailers, grocers, and manufacturers looking to incorporate an online marketplace business model. This program will have access to McFadyen’s global delivery resources and subject matter experts, in addition to Kahuna’s marketplace engagement thought leaders and technical resources.

Tom Gaydos, CMO & Digital Marketing Practice Lead, McFadyen Digital commented, “Our belief is that Online Marketplaces are the E-commerce model of the future. Driving a successful marketplace means that our clients need to recruit new sellers, attract new customers, and proactively match the two together to drive transactions. Typical digital engagement platforms are not purpose-built for the marketplace model, where Kahuna is. The intelligence, engagement capabilities, and flexibility of the Kahuna platform perfectly complement the platforms from our other best-of-breed technology partners.”
