  • The platform supports personalized marketing, sales, and customer engagement use cases, enabling faster activation, reduced data duplication, improved freshness, and AI-powered optimization across channels like advertising, connected TV, and retail media.
  • Recognition reflects the market’s shift toward composable, warehouse-centric architectures that prioritize speed, control, and complete data usage.
  • Hightouch powers personalized experiences for brands including Domino’s, Autotrader, Cars.com, Aritzia, and PetSmart.
  • Gartner positions providers in four quadrants (Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries, Niche Players); Hightouch’s placement as a Leader highlights strong vision and execution in a rapidly evolving CDP landscape.
  • A complimentary copy of the full Gartner Magic Quadrant for Customer Data Platforms (published January 26, 2026) is available for download.

The recognition validates Hightouch’s approach of empowering marketing and advertising teams to leverage their entire data warehouse for real-time, personalized activation—without the traditional limitations of legacy CDPs. By eliminating replication, organizations gain fresher data, lower costs, stronger governance, and the ability to continuously optimize performance with AI.

“We see this recognition reflecting a broader shift in how modern marketing and advertising teams are operating,” said Tejas Manohar, co-founder and co-CEO at Hightouch. “Organizations want to power personalized marketing with their complete data, move faster without data replication, and use AI to optimize performance across channels continuously. That combination has been core to Hightouch from the beginning.”

Gartner Magic Quadrant reports provide a fact-based, wide-angle assessment of vendors in high-growth markets with clear differentiation. The analysis helps technology buyers align solutions with their specific business and technical requirements.
