Sailthru, a CM Group brand and the leading personalized marketing automation technology provider for retailers and publishers, announced that the platform enabled major performance increases for customers, driving a 13% increase in emails sent and a 49% increase in open rates year over year.

As a result, Sailthru delivered a variety of new features and capabilities, including refining its personalization algorithms, introducing greater access to data and visualizations, and incorporating multi-team workflows to help companies scale across their businesses.

“Sailthru has been a great partner to The AP since the start. The platform is easy to use, and we got white-glove service during onboarding that translated into super responsive and helpful account management. After successfully testing content feed features, we’re excited to start using even more of the platform this year. We’ve only scratched the surface of how The AP can use Sailthru to better engage our loyal readers through our current daily Morning Wire newsletter and future titles,” said Brian Barth, Global Manager of Digital Marketing at The Associated Press.
