In a world where retail marketers have long promised personalization but often fall short, London-based Ometria emerges as a game-changer. Armed with AI-powered prowess, this customer marketing platform is poised to bridge the gap between marketing promises and consumer inboxes.
For years, consumers have awaited the elusive promise of personalization in their marketing interactions. Despite numerous pledges from marketing tech vendors, their inboxes rarely mirror these assurances. The culprit behind this gap in customer experience lies within the technology stack employed by many retail marketers. Enter Ometria, a London-based innovator on a mission to rectify this.
Ometria has received a substantial £8 million investment injection from CIBC Innovation Banking, a notable backer of Phrase. This funding marks a significant milestone, propelling Ometria's total funding raised to over $70 million. The intent behind this capital infusion is clear: to further develop and advance the platform's AI capabilities, tailored specifically for the retail sector.
Ivan Mazour, CEO and Founder of Ometria, expressed his excitement regarding this strategic alliance, stating, "This is a great vote of confidence, and we are very excited to work with CIBC Innovation Banking and use this funding to further accelerate the development of our retail-specific AI Co-Marketer. The capital will also fuel our ongoing North American expansion, which is a huge market that has shown a clear need for our product."
