UK’s retail point-of-sale (POS) marketing company Ecrebo has raised £12m in funding to accelerate its global expansion, with a primary focus on North America.
Raised from Air Miles and Nectar founder Sir Keith Mills and former Warburg Pincus Europe head Joseph Schull, the funding will also support increased investment in product and technology development for the company’s digital marketing platform.
Mills said: “Ecrebo’s technology gives retailers the ability to open up a marketing channel that is fully retailer-owned, enabling them to reach all their customers and engage them on a one-to-one basis in a way which is personalised, rewarding and convenient.”
European venture capital investor and existing investor Octopus Ventures is also participating in the investment round.
Using Ecrebo’s new technology platform retailers will be able to deliver targeted offers and messages to customers at the checkout alongside their receipt.
