Cineplex Replaces Marketing Platform With Showtime Analytics

DUBLIN: 19th June 2022: Showtime Analytics are delighted to announce an agreement with existing customer Cineplex to replace their email marketing and customer segmentation platform.

Cineplex, the German cinema co-op comprised of 26 family businesses with over 90 cinemas and a market share of 15%, have signed a new deal with Showtime Analytics for their email marketing and customer analytics solution.

As existing users of the Showtime Insights platform, a real-time operational analysis tool that brings Ticketing, Concessions, Occupancy and Staffing data together in one place, Cineplex have long been committed to using advanced analytics in a way that helps them to better serve their customers.

Cineplex first signed up with Showtime in 2018 as the first customer in the German market. After a complex integration, and continuous development to the system through collaboration with both teams, Cineplex looked to Showtime to help them transition from their existing email marketing solution to a more intuitive and user friendly platform. 

Showtime Engage is a customer and marketing analytics platform that allows cinema operators to get to know their movie-goers through behavioral data analysis, tailored and personalised marketing communications and, most crucially, to track results through audience uplift analytics. Engage was built specifically for the cinema industry, based on real user feedback about how a cinema marketing tool should perform and providing a rich user experience that marketers love working with.

“With the easy-to-use Showtime tools, our cinema operators are able to target the right customer segment via push notification or e-mail campaigns.”

Thomas Limmer, Digital Director, Cineplex

In addition to the roll out of Showtime Engage to replace their existing email marketing automation and segmentation platform, Cineplex also commissioned Showtime to build a custom visualisation of their customer data metrics, so that they could efficiently monitor how their business is performing over time, answer their strategic questions about the business, and take the necessary actions to drive more effective marketing and loyalty programmes. 

Richie Power, CEO of Showtime Analytics said of the partnership:

“Cineplex are a true leader in their vision and strategy. Working so closely with them to bring their customer data to life in such a meaningful way for their unique business model and tying together an end to end customer analysis and engagement platform for them has been a project our team has thoroughly enjoyed working on. I am delighted to bring our partnership to the next level and look forward to seeing the results this innovative approach will deliver to their bottom line.”
