Recognised for in-email innovation, superior innovation, partner ecosystem, pricing, and rapid query return time.
NEW YORK, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Netcore, a global leader in Agentic Marketing, today announced it has been named a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Email Marketing Service Providers, Q1 2026. Netcore sees this recognition as evidence of the company's continued momentum and its long-term strategy of combining deep product innovation with a customer-centric partnership model.
The Forrester Wave™: Email Marketing Service Providers, Q1 2026 evaluates the most significant vendors in the ESP market, assessing their current offerings, strategy, and customer feedback. The report mentions how AI is ushering in a new leap in email functionality, enabling marketers to move beyond traditional campaign execution toward intelligent, adaptive engagement. It evaluates the top vendors in the email marketing service providers market. Netcore received the highest possible scores in the criteria of innovation, partner ecosystem, adoption, and pricing flexibility & transparency within the strategy category. It also received the highest possible scores in the criteria of in-email innovation and queries & segmentation within the current offering category, which Netcore sees as a reflection of the company's 'differentiation-first' approach to email marketing.
Forrester's evaluation noted: "Netcore has superior innovation, partner ecosystem, and pricing because it invests half of its revenue in R&D, opens its application architecture to partner development, and offers performance-based pricing to offset the risk of experimentation. Netcore's vision, roadmap and community are solid; it grew its email customers by 30% in 2025."
Netcore believes that technology alone is not enough. The company's approach is rooted in shared customer success, responsive support, and its core philosophy of 'We Win When Our Customers Win'.
As Forrester's report observed: "Customers laud Netcore's high-touch customer service, quick resolution, and proactivity. They love their early access to beta features and can attribute revenue lift directly to Netcore's recommendations."
"We are incredibly proud of this recognition," said Kalpit Jain, Group CEO at Netcore. "At Netcore, we believe we win only when our customers win, and to us, this recognition reflects that philosophy. Our goal has always been to expand the role email plays in the customer journey. By combining AI-driven intelligence with interactive experiences inside the inbox, we help brands create moments that feel seamless for customers and measurable for marketers."
As marketers face rising expectations for personalisation, agility, and accountable growth, Netcore remains focused on shaping the future of email marketing with a platform, partnership model, and product roadmap and a shared customer success model designed for an increasingly agentic, goal-based marketing world. In this model, email evolves into an intelligent, outcome-driven, adaptive channel that helps brands move faster, engage customers more effectively, and drive measurable business outcomes.
