Hightouch

Earlier this week, we brought together fintech and financial services leaders in New York City for an intimate Michelin star dinner, co-hosted with our partner Capgemini. The conversation centered around what it really looks like to turn your data warehouse into a secure marketing engine—without duplicating data, slowing down marketing, or trading speed for compliance. A sincere thank you to Chris Yu, our featured customer speaker at Chime for sharing his firsthand experience in their composability journey and their results. And thank you to everyone who came out and joined us. It was a special evening!

We’re excited to introduce Hightouch Ad Studio, built for performance marketers who never want to run out of on-brand ads again. Ad platforms are explicit about what drives performance: variety, volume, and relevance. But launching fresh ad campaigns can take weeks, even months, making it impossible to meet those standards. Ad Studio changes that. With AI agents working from complete context, you can: ✅ Create on-brand ads for every product in your catalog in minutes ✅ Surface creative starting to fatigue and instantly spin up new hooks ✅ Analyze cultural trends and react before the moment has passed ✅ Research and respond to your competitors’ ads before they gain traction ✅ Re-size, localize, and launch new ads to every platform instantly Every ad is backed by data, brand-compliant, and easy to edit. At scale, you have an engine for testing, iterating, and launching ads faster than ever before–and results follow.  👉 Learn more here: hightouch.com/ad-studio

Banks sit on some of the richest customer data in any industry. Yet they convert only ~9% of targeted prospects into customers. The problem isn't the data. It's the architecture. A  new guest post from Capgemini breaks down why a composable CDP is the infrastructure layer financial institutions have been waiting for. Check it out → https://lnkd.in/gNh4EUqW

Big week for Hightouch in Europe 🇫🇷 We’ve officially opened our second office in the region: right in the heart of Paris. It’s safe to say the views are just as inspiring as the opportunity ahead. To mark the occasion, our CRO Josh Kanagy and Regional VP Jennifer Timmerman welcomed customers and partners to celebrate with us over a champagne toast 🥂 . It was a great moment to reflect on the momentum we’re seeing across Europe and our continued investment in one of our fastest-growing regions. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us to make it special. We’re still growing and we're hiring for Sales, Technical and Support. 👉 Check out our open roles: https://lnkd.in/gxARXRWN

We built a whole set of specialized subagents to power Agentic Marketing Platform. Google Gemini is critical for the creative ones. Together, we’re building top-notch creative assets informed by our comprehensive marketing context layer. Because Hightouch understands your business, it can use Gemini to make more relevant and performant creative. Taige Eoff from Google summed it up well: This is about moving from experimental AI to scalable utility for non‑technical teams. Learn more about what we built here: https://lnkd.in/eAj6r8G8 P.S. If you’ll be at Google Cloud Next '26, we’ve got a bunch of events where you can meet the team! Check out the links in the comments.

Today, we're excited to launch our zero-fee offsite monetization solution! Media networks can now onboard and list audiences directly on DSP marketplaces like The Trade Desk and Yahoo DSP, without paying a secondary revshare fee. The existing model forces you to onboard audiences through a middleman marketplace (like LiveRamp) before the audience reaches the DSP. You pay twice: once to the onboarder, once to the DSP. With Hightouch, audiences go directly to the DSP marketplace and are enhanced to maximize reach and revenue potential. One fee. Full margin.

Over the last several months, we’ve been quietly building our first-ever community, but it’s been growing faster than we can keep up, so today we’re officially launching Lifecycle Leaders: The premier community and resource for all things lifecycle. It’s totally free. Join the thousands of lifecycle marketers around the world! 👉 https://lnkd.in/gP7xvPKK

Performance marketers always see new, buzzy terms pop up. But "signal engineering" is different. Because it reflects a fundamental change in advertising. AI now handles the tedious work of tweaking bids, budgets, and placements. The new job (and the real opportunity) is feeding the algorithms the right data. That's signal engineering, and it's quietly becoming one of the biggest competitive differentiator in paid media. We broke it all down in our latest post: how it works, why it matters, and how to build your own signal engineering practice. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gb-rC5mU
