Marigold’s offerings are united by a singular mission and focus: to deliver world-class relationship marketing solutions that enable customers around the world to grow, scale, and future-proof their businesses. Customers are already benefiting from the collective power and force multiplication of Marigold’s full-solution portfolio, which is accelerating innovation across all Marigold products and making market-leading developments available to customers faster.

The unveiling of Marigold represents the next stage in CM Group’s strategic growth plan to deliver specialised, cross-channel relationship marketing solutions that support marketers across the full consumer lifecycle by providing personalisation at scale, interactive digital experiences, and loyalty programmes across industries. With deep roots and a proven record of helping customers successfully evolve their businesses for more than 30 years, Marigold offers solutions that empower marketing teams of all sizes and sophistication with the relationship marketing tools, support, and expertise they need to grow their consumer loyalty, today and in the future.  

“We are thrilled to introduce Marigold, which perfectly reflects who we are and why we exist: to drive growth for our customers.

Marigold is proud to be leading from the front during the largest digital and martech transformation in history.”

More than 40,000 global brands like TGI Fridays, Orangetheory Fitness, Morning Brew, Magnolia Bakery, The Honey Baked Ham Company and Thrive Market trust Marigold to create experiences that build relationships at every point in the customer journey.
