In 2020, Albertsons Companies deployed ActionIQ Customer Experience Hub, a Customer Data Platform, to unify loyalty, transaction and behavioral data and enable omnichannel personalization. The implementation was delivered in partnership with Merkle and positioned ActionIQ Customer Experience Hub as the central profile and orchestration layer for campaign execution across core marketing channels.

Functional modules implemented included unified customer profiles, a segmentation engine to drive audience construction, and journey orchestration to automate cart abandonment and loyalty-driven campaign flows across channels.
Integrations focused on ingesting loyalty program feeds, point of sale transaction streams, and behavioral event data to create a single customer view used by email, push and paid media channels. Operational scope targeted marketing and loyalty operations, supporting omnichannel campaign execution, automated cart-abandonment sequences, and loyalty redemption promotions across digital touchpoints.
Governance and workflow changes centered on centralized audience governance and campaign orchestration practices managed through ActionIQ Customer Experience Hub with Merkle support. Outcomes reported by the customer included approximately 30% weekly click rates and 37% weekly redemption rates for loyalty-driven campaigns, reflecting the operational impact of unified profiles and automated orchestration.

Build-A-Bear Workshop | Retail | 5100 | $496M | United States | Salesforce | Salesforce Marketing Cloud | Marketing Automation | 2023 |
In 2023, Build-A-Bear Workshop implemented Salesforce Marketing Cloud as part of a broader Salesforce ecosystem deployment aimed at improving guest engagement. The deployment was executed with Merkle and accompanied a Salesforce Loyalty Management implementation that was reported as the largest retail implementation to date and one of the first five retail customers to adopt Loyalty Management.
Salesforce Marketing Cloud was provisioned to deliver core Marketing Automation capabilities including campaign orchestration, journey management, audience segmentation, and personalized messaging across channels. Merkle implemented a phased configuration, while the Salesforce Loyalty Module was set up to process transactions, calculate points, and deliver rewards on a daily cadence, enabling tighter automation between loyalty events and marketing campaigns.
The implementation integrated multiple systems explicitly named in the program, including Commerce Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Service Cloud, and a centralized Data Warehouse, enabling a unified view of guest activity across interactive stores and digital storefronts. Operational coverage extended to Build-A-Bear’s brick and mortar experience locations and its e-commerce environments such as the Bear-Builder and Bear Builder 3D Workshop, allowing guests to see points across multiple consumer touchpoints and access a new online account experience.
Governance followed a phased rollout with Merkle responsible for cross-system development and implementation work, and Build-A-Bear retaining program control for ongoing loyalty expansion. Outcomes called out in the implementation narrative include over 20 million loyalty records converted to the new system, automated promo and reward processes with a reduction in manual work, earlier reward redemption for guests, and improved visibility of points across channels.
