Who We Are
Vividly is the leading modern trade promotion management (TPM) solution built by and for the consumer packaged goods industry. From campaign creation to deductions management and promotion measurement, we help brands manage every element of trade spend. With our easy-to-use platform and industry-leading experience, we pride ourselves on our ability to bring businesses to the next level.
Not familiar with trade promotion spend? That’s OK. Most people aren’t. It’s a $8 trillion dollar problem that is ripe for disruption by an innovative SaaS startup. In order to grow, consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands spend 20% of their topline revenue to get into retailers and promote their products within those retailers. The problem is that today 70% of those promotions are not ROI positive. This is because ROI is hard to track. The industry operates on emails, pdfs, and excel spreadsheets, and other sources of unstructured data. At Vividly, we’re solving this massive problem using state of the art machine learning and AI methods to process this unstructured data and drive value for everyone in the chain, from brands to retailers to end consumers. Some of our customers include brands you may use and love - Liquid Death, Amy’s, and Laird Superfoods.
