Today, most new mover marketing data becomes available when reported to the United States Postal Service after the move occurs,” said Andy Frawley, SVP, Porch Marketing Software Division and CEO of V12. “By combining V12’s comprehensive household, automotive, buying signal and mover data with Porch’s unique pre-move and other home-related data assets, we can transform the new mover marketing industry through data products and programs that marketers can’t get anywhere else.”
According to Matt Ehrlichman, Porch founder, chairman and CEO, “With this acquisition, V12 immediately becomes the anchor in our strategy to attack the highly-attractive mover marketing opportunity.
