What is compound marketing?

Compound marketing is a new marketing approach that drives rapidly compounding growth. Marketers accelerate campaign iteration using agentic AI powered by first-party data.

Compound marketing decreases marketing cycle time, often from quarters or months to weeks or days. Not only does this have the potential to increase revenue in a shorter timeframe, it can also reduce costs thanks to more efficient processes. Beyond the efficiency gains, the most exciting outcome from compound marketing is its ability to drive meaningful and measurable growth.

Agentic AI and the data cloud are two core components of compound marketing and the Compound Marketing Engine — it’s what enables a faster marketing cycle and rapid growth. The agentic AI is powered by the first-party data in the cloud, providing campaign analysis and suggestions that allow marketing organizations to iterate faster and achieve higher ROI.

GrowthLoop is a Compound Marketing Engine

It’s time for a new approach. The future of marketing lies in AI and agentic-based strategies built on a single source of truth in the data cloud.

Traditional CDPs and marketing clouds

Compound Marketing Engine

Data access and scope
Limited to the data explicitly copied from the cloud, resulting in incomplete datasets and restricted workflows that require engineering resources.
Built for marketers; directly connects to data clouds like BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, and Amazon Redshift, providing access to all data without duplication.
AI agents
Relies on static AI models that lack flexibility and adaptability to specific business needs.
AI agents work as an extension of the marketer, fueled by the enterprise data cloud and real-time performance data. The agents suggest audiences, journeys, and next best actions for upcoming campaigns.
Audience building
Relies on siloed, outdated data that doesn't reflect real-time customer behavior, leading to misaligned segments and ineffective targeting.
Dynamic, real-time audience building powered by cloud-native data and assisted by an Audience Agent that pinpoints hyper-relevant segments for every campaign.
Journey orchestration
Limited to the channels the platform supports, not the channels that fit your strategy.
Build omnichannel journeys with Journey Agent based on historical data, customer preferences, and your campaign objectives. Then, tweak with advanced tools if necessary.
Reporting and insights
Marketing teams must go to each individual system or channel to analyze insights.
Drive continuous improvement as the Insights Agent ingests real-time performance data, analyzes trends, and uncovers revenue-driving opportunities. The agent then delivers actionable campaign suggestions for you to review and approve.
Compounding growth
Limited reporting and siloed workflows slow iteration and campaign improvement over time.
When your data cloud uses agentic AI to connect audiences, journeys, and campaign results, real-time iteration, and compounding improvement become a reality.
Data storage and cost
Requires duplicating data in both the data warehouse and CDP, increasing costs and complexity.
Operates directly from the data cloud, eliminating duplication and reducing your storage costs.
Getting started
Months of implementation and frustratingly long time-to-value.
Integrate your cloud in days, and build and launch your first audiences and journeys in weeks.

Compound marketing FAQs

What is compound marketing?

Compound marketing is a new marketing approach that drives rapidly compounding growth. Marketers accelerate marketing iteration using agentic AI powered by first-party data.

Where does the concept of compound marketing come from?

If you’ve spent time investing, you’ve likely heard of the concept of compound interest. This concept is so renowned that Albert Einstein is attributed with describing compound interest as the “eighth wonder of the world.”

When you’re talking about a savings account, there’s a big difference between interest that compounds at 1% annually vs. 1% daily.  

Now, apply that concept to the marketing cycle. What if your marketing programs could improve at 1% a day vs. 1% year? That’s compound marketing.

The key to that growth is a faster marketing cycle, powered by quicker iterations and experimentation. A Compound Marketing Engine enables that iteration speed using agentic AI powered by first-party data in the enterprise cloud.

Why is compound marketing important now?

Two major trends in the marketing world are coming to a head: the influence of AI (in particular, agentic AI) and the rise of the data cloud.

It’s a cliche at this point: AI is changing marketing. But unlike other tech shifts we’ve seen in marketing (think: television, internet, mobile), AI is changing how we create marketing vs. how people consume marketing.

Then there’s the data cloud—the widespread adoption of the enterprise cloud as an organization’s single source of truth.  

Agentic AI and the data cloud are two core components of compound marketing — it’s what enables a faster marketing cycle and rapid growth. The agentic AI is powered by the first-party data in the cloud, providing campaign analysis and suggestions that allow marketing organizations to iterate faster and achieve higher ROI.

What kind of results can I expect from compound marketing?

Compound marketing ultimately decreases marketing cycle time, often from quarters or months to weeks or days. Not only does this have the potential to increase revenue in a shorter timeframe, it can also reduce costs thanks to more efficient processes.

Beyond the efficiency gains, the most exciting outcomes from compound marketing are in its ability to drive meaningful and measurable growth.

Here are some examples of how customers are using the GrowthLoop Compound Marketing Engine and the results they’ve seen:

At Indeed, the marketing team used GrowthLoop to boost marketing velocity by 8X and increase revenue by 20%.

At Allegro, one of Europe’s largest e-commerce marketplaces, the team used GrowthLoop to create an AI-powered retail media network solution that led to a 2X increase in return on ad spend (ROAS); a 60%+ increase in gross merchandise value (GMV) on DMV360, Meta, TikTok, and YouTube; and a nearly 4X improvement in click-through rate and 70% decrease in cost-per-click on Meta.

A Compound Marketing Engine is an enterprise solution powered by agentic AI on the data cloud. It helps marketers drive compound growth by accelerating the marketing cycle to:

-Propose audiences and customer journeys
-Trigger campaigns across channels
-Continuously analyze performance data to make suggestions for campaign optimization

A Compound Marketing Engine has three defining features:

-Operates on top of a data cloud - This accelerates campaign launch and iteration, allows compliant access to all data, and reduces manual workarounds. It also operates on your organization’s existing enterprise data cloud (such as BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, or Amazon Redshift), so it drives faster implementation, better security, and decreased cost.

-Operates across all marketing and advertising channels - This allows it to optimize holistically, create unified audiences and customer journeys, and measure impact more accurately.

-Runs agentic AI - With human approval, agentic AI builds audiences and executes journeys across channels. A Compound Marketing Engine features a chat-based interface that allows the marketer to activate agentic AI to address multiple marketing tasks simultaneously.

How does a Compound Marketing Engine differ from a composable CDP?

Both a Compound Marketing Engine and a composable CDP are built on top of the data cloud and use a composable architecture, meaning they preserve the single source of truth in the data cloud and activate campaigns across every channel.

A Compound Marketing Engine builds upon composable CDP capabilities by putting the power of agentic AI, fueled by your cloud data, into the hands of your marketing team.

Does a Compound Marketing Engine work with any enterprise data cloud?

Yes. The Compound Marketing Engine works with any enterprise data cloud, including Google BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, AWS Redshift, and more.

Who should use a Compound Marketing Engine?

The Compound Marketing Engine is built for next-generation marketing teams who believe in collaborating with AI agents to build 1:1 personalization rooted in the data cloud.

Will the AI agents in the Compound Marketing Engine replace marketers?

When using a Compound Marketing Engine like GrowthLoop, it’s important to note that a human is in control at every stage of the compound marketing cycle. Marketers still set the goals and approve or edit what AI suggests.

We believe AI isn’t here to replace marketers, but instead to give marketers new superpowers that elevate their work and drive faster results.
