Apollo will be integrated with Stagwell’s data and insights unification tool, Consumer Understanding and Engagement (CUE), and is the first acquisition made by the Stagwell Marketing Cloud.
Apollo’s enterprise technology tools will connect and enrich Stagwell’s expansive first-party data universe with millions of behavioural, transactional, and location-based data points to help marketers understand consumer behaviours, motivations, and states of mind. The integration of Apollo with CUE will automate workstreams to translate insights into effective campaigns across messaging, content strategy, and media.
