So long, 2020! I think we are all relieved to say that this year is finally coming to an end. While 2020 came with a lot of ups and downs for everyone, we want to take a moment to look back on the amazing, exciting, and joyful things that also happened. We’ve put together a year in review to highlight the Best of Mapp 2020.
Take a look at Mapp’s Top 10 highlights of 2020:
This year we launched a record number of new releases to all of Mapp’s products with 49 new product updates! Each and every one of these product updates provides marketers with an even greater ability to use Mapp Marketing Cloud effectively, and specifically focused on customer intelligence, marketing analytics, cross-channel marketing, personalization, and automation from a single source.

When the coronavirus hit and countries were going into their first ever lockdowns, businesses were abruptly left with a completely different consumer landscape. No more in-store shopping, no more face-to-face contact, everything had to be online. Digital marketing suddenly wasn’t a “nice to have”, but a “need to have” in order to survive. As a digital marketing platform, we were able to help companies make that shift to a fully digital strategy and help them get to a place where they could thrive again.
Mapp employees also made the swift switch from office work to working from home, never slowing down when it came to providing support to our customers. Many of us actually enjoy working from home! Outside of work, Mappsters also rallied together to help where we could with blood drives, food donations, and community efforts. And, on behalf of our customers, Mapp is making a donation this month to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund!
Alongside helping current customers improve their digital marketing strategies, we also facilitated the switch to insight-led marketing for a lot of new customers. We hereby officially welcome you to the Mapp family!
Some of the amazing customers we welcomed in 2020:
Did you know that 58% of marketers still rely on their gut feeling when making marketing decisions? This can be a dangerous route to take; the more options you have to evaluate and the more data you have to weigh, the less you should rely on instinct. It also allows a lot of marketing potential to go unrealized.
It’s time to move from gut-feeling to actionable insights. And we want to help marketers become insight-driven so they can start benefiting from their data and, more importantly, real-time customer insights. With the right strategy and technology in place, marketers can gain valuable, easy-to-interpret insights to optimize their marketing activities – and close the gap between insights and action. Are you ready to make the transition to real customer intelligence?
