We are Mercanto

Direct marketing messages should feel relevant and welcoming to consumers. Yet too much of the content we are faced with online uninspired and impersonal. Because, too often, it is. But it’s not the marketer’s fault. How can you treat everyone as an individual when you have more customers than seconds in a day? We help you use the power of Spotify-style personalization to inject AI-driven content into your ESP. This AI personalization adapts your message in realtime for each individual, ensuring your campaigns are always fresh and relevant.

We go to work on a VESPA –

Vespa

Valuable

We work hard to deliver as much value as possible to clients. Whether were empowering them with software or educating them with best practice, we always strive to provide maximum value.

Excellent

Embracing excellence makes us challenge ourselves to execute flawlessly and set new standards in digital marketing. To pursue excellence, we seek the best talent, and we promote professional and personal development. We aim to consistently exceed our financial goals and the expectations of our clients, our colleagues, and our stakeholders.

Simple

In a world full of software that overcomplicates things, we aim to stand out as a breath of fresh air for clients looking to keep things simple. S is also for sustainability. We own the responsibility to sustain our world and society in a balanced way, with the health, safety and well-being of people and planet central to all we do.

Passionate

We enjoy the work that we’re fortunate to do and the people that were fortunate to do it with. As crazy as it sounds, we look forward to Mondays.

AI-First

With an ‘AI-first’ mindset, AI personalization at scale is Mercanto’s reason for being. We’re under no illusion that every customer will open every email, but the promise of personalization is much more than just an incremental bump in engagement metrics: it’s redefined customer relationships. Why waste bandwidth on content that’s likely to be ignored, when you can send every customer content that’s likely to engage them right now? That’s why we’re ready and eager to help clients put AI at the center of their CRM program.
