WE ARE BUSINESS BUILDERS, DATA ATHLETES,
& PROVEN MARKETERS. WE ARE BUYERGENOMICS.
Our Story
BuyerGenomics was developed by an elite NYC Marketing Agency (Endai) to create an unfair advantage for clients. Due to it’s versatility, BuyerGenomics is often described different ways by our clients including: CRM, Customer Marketing Database, Customer Intelligence software and at times “our secret weapon“.
BuyerGenomic’s parent company Endai, founded in 1999, is approaching 20 years of learning, listening and innovating for hundreds of brands and savvy direct marketers. As a full service agency, we curated a long list of repeatable strategies and tactics from decades of cross-client learnings that became our PlayBook – a Proven Methodology that scales revenue.
Endai is more than a Marketing Agency; we are technology company that isn’t afraid of being an early mover. We have a long track record of innovation and homegrown tech innovation; most notably, in 1999 Endai launched MarketTraq Email, an enterprise ESP that now sends billions of email messages a year.
Endai listens very closely to client needs to inform where we invest. In the early days (before #BigData was a term), our senior strategic analysts and more sophisticated clients wanted to get more targeted in their marketing. At that time, this meant deeper segmentation in their Email Marketing tool. ESPs are very good at delivering mail, but an ESP is simply not designed (for good reason) to act as a customer marketing database. We understood what a Customer Marketing Database architecture looked like from our Direct Marketing background. In fact, Database Marketing wasn’t new, but the data opportunity exploded as computing power increased enabling both the storage and manipulation of this data. Large organizations had the multi-million dollar budgets to invest in large scale multi-year database projects, but this was far out of reach from the mid sized marketing organization.

We wanted BuyerGenomics to have a clear path to value. We built a tool that enables a new client to execute significant winning strategies quickly, and over time.
BuyerGenomics is Intelligence
