Qubit Named a Visionary in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Personalization Engines
Report notes that "Marketing leaders are steadily increasing their investment in personalization - it now makes up 14% of marketing spend"
LONDON, July 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Qubit today announced that Gartner Inc. has named the company a Visionary in their 2019 Magic Quadrant for Personalization Engines.[1]
Founded in 2010, Qubit enables the world's leading retail, luxury, fashion, beauty, travel and online betting brands to deliver effective and scalable personalization across their digital channels. Qubit is currently used by more than 1,500 ecommerce and tech professionals, and the platform is delivering over 60 billion personalizations per year, making it one of the most robust in the market.
Specific to marketing leaders, Gartner defines a personalization engine as, "software that applies context about individual users to select, tailor and deliver messaging such as content, offers and other interactions through digital channels in support of three use cases: marketing, digital commerce and customer experience (CX)."
In the report, Gartner says, "Marketing leaders are steadily increasing their investment in personalization — it now makes up 14% of marketing spend. Additionally, adoption of personalization engines is up 28 percentage points since 2016. As more budget flows toward personalization tools, the market for stand-alone personalization engines continues to grow."[2]
Qubit CEO Graham Cooke said, "We're proud to be named a Visionary. In our view, Qubit is a category creator and we work alongside some truly visionary leaders and brands in ecommerce. The potential in this category is enormous, and we're only just getting started."

"Personalization is about curating experiences around the individual," said Tim MacIvor, Head of Customer Experience at River Island. "As a retailer, it's not just about shipping products, it's about building relevant relationships with each person no matter the channel. Qubit is a key technology for us to understand, segment and personalize the visitor journey to millions of customers."
