Diegem & Amsterdam, 28 January 2020 — Insider, the world’s first integrated Growth Management Platform (GMP), and Upthrust, a leading European growth marketing firm, announce that they have entered into a strategic partnership. Upthrust will leverage Insider’s Growth Management Platform and technology to power its five-step growth framework across channels and industry verticals.

Upthrust aims to bring a unified approach to delivering growth and personalization to its customers in the European market. Upthrust’s model focuses on empowering B2C and B2B brands to optimize their full funnel expansion using their proprietary five-step growth marketing framework.

Insider’s sophisticated AI-powered segmentation and recommendation strategies will enable Upthrust to strengthen its core marketing processes and strategies to achieve deeper individualization and cross-channel engagement.

The partnership with Insider will bring growth acceleration technology to Upthrust, enabling accelerated A/B testing, faster insights from analytics, and consistent engagement with users through integrated features such as web push, personalized overlays, dynamic sticky bars, and real-time message triggers

“We decided to partner with Insider because of their growth acceleration platform that allows for solid testing, uplift analysis, and statistical insights. There are very few tools out there that provide such a broad range of features. We are proud to have this association with Insider because they deliver on what they promise. Working with Insider, we’ve realized an entrepreneurial partner and a relationship to add mutual value,” said Dennis De Cat, Managing Partner at Upthrust.

Together, Upthrust and Insider will focus on developing the Belgian eCommerce market—sharing insights from their collective learnings with the market.

The partnership launched with its first customer, Torfs, the most famous shoe retailer in the Flemish region of Belgium, with more than 80 personalization campaigns that generated a high incremental revenue uplift through multiple scenarios, with uplift rates as high as 15% in web push services.

“With Upthrust, we found a strategic partner that is very complementary to Insider. Their growth framework, consultancy services, and strong reputation combined with our growth management technology will accelerate our customers’ growth in the Belgian region,” said Bas Drogtrop, Country Manager Benelux at Insider.

Insider’s Growth Management Platform will support Upthrust’s growth strategies with cutting-edge technology while providing experimentation capabilities to create value for customers. We hope to positively impact the ROI for customers and verticals that overlap our platforms,” added Bas.
