A New Era

As we close Q1 2023, we wanted to share the key updates, product releases, and positive changes from a busy three months. The start to 2023 was one of Pacvue’s most successful and transformative periods yet.

On Monday, March 27th, Pacvue launched the industry’s first Commerce Acceleration Platform to help brands optimize their omnichannel commerce strategy. Pacvue empowers businesses to discover the most impactful opportunities, activate sales growth, and streamline daily operations.

“As competition for the $45 billion retail media market heats up, one of its biggest players is expanding beyond advertising to stay on top,” said Business Insider.

The Pacvue family is also very proud to announce our bold new look. With a refreshed visual identity and a new tagline—”Maximize your commerce potential”—Pacvue remains committed to helping enterprise brands make moves that matter for their business.
