Best-in-Class Performance Powered by Proprietary Data
PebblePost is the only PDM solution that combines three of the most predictive data types across 500+ brands: transaction, intent, and customer data. This gives PebblePost a more holistic view of a consumer for modeling, which yields higher conversion rates when compared to other solutions that rely on third-party data.

"Blue Nile was already seeing strong success with PebblePost's Lookalikes prospecting product. However, we couldn't be happier with the performance improvements we're seeing with their enhanced Lookalikes, a stunning 70% increase in ROAS," said Megan Birch, Blue Nile's Senior Director of Marketing. "An always-on approach to Lookalikes has allowed us to focus on identifying and engaging our most valuable prospects, and we've been able to scale our monthly investments by up to 6x."
