In today’s world of overwhelming advertisements across any medium, it is important to convey clearly what you offer your customers with a touch of personalized communication. MoEngage not only helps you analyze customer behavior but also helps you through the entire customer journey, valuing customer privacy and security at the heart of everything, to ensure you communicate your offerings as transparently and effortlessly as possible.

History of MoEngage

A roadmap showing the history of MoEngage from its inception in 2014 through to 2022

Back in 2011, when founders Raviteja and Yashwanth founded DelightCircle, they realized that delivering personalized and contextual information was key to retaining and engaging customers. And therein lay a problem, or as they saw it: a solution. Traditional marketing and customer engagement platforms till that point were built for a desktop world.

Additionally, most of the then-platforms were campaign-centric and not customer-centric. The need for a platform that gave acuities about customer behavior and helped brands realize the importance of walking through the customer lifecycle along with their customers was paramount. Since we take great care of our customers, MoEngage was also built around the idea that the company will ensure you have all the instruments in your hand to empathize with your customers as well.

In a world that was getting exceedingly digital-first, it was necessary to keep your valuable customers engaged not only through all the best offerings but also through personalized content. With this philosophy in mind, MoEngage was born in 2014. With offices in San Franciso, Bengaluru, Boston, London, Berlin, Singapore, and Dubai, among others, MoEngage has emerged as one of the best platforms out there for customer retention, engagement, and acquisition.

Since then, the company has gone from strength to strength, both in product innovation and brand philosophy. Some of MoEngage’s industry-first technologies like Push Amplification™  and Push Amplification™ Plus, first launched in 2017, have revolutionized the CEP, and, in general, the MarTech space.

Our Vision and Values

What’s a Customer Engagement Platform (CEP) and Why do You Need It?

While many confuse a customer analytics tool with a CEP, they are widely different. If you are a B2C brand, the most invaluable thing your customers can give you is their attention. And when they do, it is important that brands don’t take it lightly.

A Customer Engagement Platform is a single piece of software that helps brands understand and optimize a customer’s lifecycle, right from awareness to decision. Typically, a CEP is a part of a brand’s API integrations. The platform captures data through apps or websites and provides personalized communications, which are highly contextual for customers across channels (email, social media, mobile apps).

Additionally, the CEP pushes for AI-based segmentation and retention analysis to ensure that a customer’s journey is not just about educating them about a product but also helping them understand the solution it offers for a customer’s problem. Based on a customer’s usage behavior, a good CEP can give you recommendations on how to run your campaigns, help with cross-channel marketing and help you optimize performance.

MoEngage also launched Dynamic Product Messaging, which redefined marketing automation.
