The partnership creates a comprehensive full-funnel marketing solution that combines Culture Genesis' top-of-funnel creator marketing capabilities with VTAGZ's lower-funnel retail attribution technology. This integration helps marketers track the impact of creator-driven campaigns on actual store purchases while building valuable first-party customer relationships. Additionally, the partnership will focus on developing innovative campaigns leveraging Culture Genesis' diverse creators network to drive brand awareness and retail purchases.

“Our partnership with VTAGZ marks a significant expansion of Culture Genesis' capabilities in helping brands connect with and understand their customers,” said Shaun Newsum, CTO and Co-Founder of Culture Genesis. “By combining our extensive creator network with VTAGZ's retail technology, we can now offer brands transaction-level insights into how creator-driven campaigns translate to real-world sales.”

VTAGZ's technology lets brands launch SMS-based cashback and sweepstakes campaigns without needing a dedicated mobile app. The platform has succeeded with major brands like Liquid Death, helping capture customer data and drive measurable retail sales through creative, creator-driven campaigns.

“By combining Culture Genesis’ creator network with our attribution technology, we're giving brands unprecedented visibility into how creator content drives in-store sales," said Solène Schwartz, COO and Co-Founder of Mammoth Media. “Finally, brands will be able to track the full consumer journey from initial creator content through to in-store purchase, as well as get access to extensive shoppers' data from phone number to basket analysis and shopping patterns.”
