Many U.S. businesses are closed today so we’ll focus today on news from elsewhere. We’ll start with an announcement from UK (and U.S.)-based CDP vendor BlueVenn that they’ve added a range of data marketing services to help clients apply of BlueVenn technology. The services draw on the LEAP marketing agency that BlueVenn purchased in January.

And while we’re reporting on vendor acquisitions: personalization vendor Windsor Circle has been bought by OSG, which adds marketing messages to invoices, billing statements, and similar communications. Windsor Circle builds customer profiles using eCommerce data but no one has ever called them a CDP.

Customer data platform Blueshift has announced two new AI agents to help marketers work more efficiently. Compass is a “growth engine” that looks for under-engaged audiences and predicts what ideas should be prioritized. Launchpad assembles audiences and dynamic content based on Blueshift’s unified customer data layer.
