Springbot, a leading marketing automation and attribution platform, announced today its acquisition of Matcha, the first all-in-one blogging capability for eCommerce brands that brings storytelling to life for online retailers. This marks the first acquisition by Springbot in its vision to be the all-in-one marketing platform of choice for SMB retailers.
Springbot’s marketing automation and attribution platform is a critical solution for today’s direct to consumer (D2C) retailers to level the playing field against larger retailers. The combination of Matcha’s blog creator, article marketplace and content analytics with Springbot’s platform that includes the critical marketing channels of email, social, ads and SMS, creates a powerful all-in-one communication platform to better serve retailers.
Matcha initially focused on helping brands and retailers create and source content, but after seeing the publishing gap that exists for SMBs retailers, expanded to providing eCommerce blogging tools designed to fill the void around publishing, managing and measuring content. The eCommerce blogging offering is purpose-built for eCommerce with capabilities such as embedding products within content, providing eCommerce templates, segmenting content by audiences as well as identifying what content is winning with what audiences.
