BEIJING, May 3, 2018  /PRNewswire/ — Gridsum Holding Inc. (“Gridsum” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GSUM), a leading provider of cloud-based big-data analytics and artificial intelligence (“AI”) solutions in China, today announced that it has expanded its marketing automation suite with a new “Grow Model” application, which further enriches its product ecosystem and customer value-add.

Leveraging Gridsum’s deep experience in developing big data and AI-empowered solutions, the Company recently launched the “Grow Model” to further expand the depth and breadth of the Company’s marketing automation suite. The application can analyze the full spectrum of a customer’s lifecycle, from attraction to the brand, purchase behavior (both first purchase and repeat purchases), to actions for winning back lost customers. The new application is already being used by many well-known brands including Pantene, Olay, Pampers, Mead Johnson and Babikins, and has also received industry wide recognition such as the China Interactive Marketing Academy Award for Excellence and the 2018 IAI International Advertising Awards for Excellence Award.

Mr. Guosheng Qi, Chief Executive Officer of Gridsum, commented, “It is always rewarding when we receive positive feedback from our customers after using our new applications. This premiumization era, demands that brands understand their users’ behavior in a more timely and sophisticated manner than ever before as consumers have extensive access to information and are becoming more rational in selecting a product. The “Grow Model” application comprehensively analyzes factors that affect users’ decisions at different stages of the purchase process and integrates cross-category behavior data to explore potential consumption needs and achieve precision marketing.  It also allows marketers to more effectively make data-driven decisions in their marketing strategy, as the model has multiple data sources including from search, e-commerce, public opinion, operator, online video, router, and research data. Our consistent focus on developing best-of-breed solutions strives to uncover a detailed consumer profile and associated behaviors by analyzing the customer purchase lifecycle, which will in-turn lead to more business opportunities for our marketing automation solutions clients.”
