There were several random acquisitions yesterday, Dear Reader, but nothing that can’t wait to next week. So let’s give you some surveys to read over the weekend. We’ll start with this study from CDP vendor Evergage, which finds that 90% of marketers are seeing at least some lift from their personalization efforts, even though just 16% are very or extremely satisfied with their company’s efforts. Nor are they impressed with their peers: only 32% think marketers in general are getting personalization right.

Just-launched Brightback also fights churn, helping high-volume subscription businesses identify customers who are at risk of leaving and intervening with automated retention workflows. The system integrates with CRM, messaging, chat and support systems. Brightback has $11 million in funding.

CDP and marketing cloud vendor Zeta Global announced an agreement to purchase LiveIntent, which helps companies do email-based advertising.  The deal will let Zeta expand its identity graph, enter the publisher monetization business, and accelerate its mobile and retail media products.  Zeta will pay $77.5 million in cash and $172.5 million in common stock, with potential for additional payments based on performance.
