Adchemy is revolutionizing the world of online customer acquisition. We've created a suite of highly algorithmic products and services that transform online customer acquisition into a science.
The Platform Engineering Group is focused on developing solutions that maximize effectiveness of online customer acquisition campaigns. Savvy marketers track the ROI of their campaigns and strive to improve performance because conversion has a double-positive impact on customer acquisition. It both increases the ROI of existing campaigns and additionally enables the marketer to invest in media that previously wasn't economically viable. We provide our customers the ability to automatically determine the best-performing landing pages, not just one, continuously test new attributes, uniquely perform in sparse data environments, and optimize landing pages based on downstream customer value data.
