Use Cases for Group-Level Unification

Prev Next

Group-Level Unification (GLU) lets multi-brand organizations treat each user as a single, unified individual, regardless of which brands within the group they interact with. Rather than managing siloed databases per brand, GLU creates a shared identity layer across your entire brand portfolio, enabling coordinated targeting, suppression, and personalization at the group level.

With GLU enabled, you can:

  • Identify shared users across brands in real time and use cross-brand behavioral signals for segmentation.

  • Run targeted cross-brand campaigns. For example, you can re-engage a user who abandoned on one brand by triggering a relevant offer from another brand in the group.

  • Control journey exit criteria at the group level; exit a user from a campaign in Architect Journeys the moment they purchase from any brand in the group, not just the originating brand.

  • Suppress and differentiate; exclude users who have already converted within the group, or serve them a separate offer, to prevent redundant or conflicting messaging.

  • Activate across all channels in a single, coordinated campaign, including Email, Web Push, SMS, WhatsApp, and App Push.

Cross-brand upsell for hospitality

  • Scenario: A hospitality group manages both economy and luxury hotel brands and wants to move loyal economy customers up the value ladder.

  • Signal: A user frequently books economy properties but occasionally searches for luxury resorts without converting.

  • GLU action: GLU surfaces this browsing behavior at the group level, allowing the luxury brand to identify and target these high-intent users with upgrade offers or premium packages.

  • Outcome: Higher conversion on luxury inventory from an already-engaged, warm audience.

Price-sensitivity redirects for airlines

  • Scenario: An airline group has a main carrier and a budget sub-brand. A user browses flights on the main carrier but does not complete a purchase.

  • Signal: Cart abandonment or browse-without-purchase on the higher-priced brand indicates price sensitivity.

  • GLU action: GLU recognizes this behavior on the group panel. Even without a conversion on the main brand, it triggers a targeted campaign from the budget sub-brand, surfacing a cheaper alternative.

  • Outcome: The group captures a conversion it would otherwise have lost by routing the user to the most price-appropriate brand.

Group-level purchase suppression

  • Scenario: A campaign distributes vouchers to inactive users. The business needs to ensure users who have already purchased from any brand in the group are excluded or treated differently.

  • Signal: A purchase event on any brand within the parent group.

  • GLU action: In Architect Journeys, set exit criteria based on group-level purchase events. A user who purchases from any brand under the parent company exits the journey immediately, regardless of which brand triggered the voucher.

  • Outcome: Prevents voucher waste and conflicting offers for users who have already converted within the group.

Loyalty program acquisition

  • Scenario: An airline group has customers who fly across multiple brands but haven't enrolled in the loyalty program.

  • Signal: A user has a confirmed purchase with at least one brand in the group, but has no loyalty membership attribute set.

  • GLU action: GLU identifies this specific segment: active buyers without loyalty status, and enables a targeted communication encouraging them to join the program.

  • Outcome: Increases loyalty program enrollment from an already-converting user base, using cross-brand purchase data that no single brand could see alone.

Coordinated launch campaign

  • Scenario: A new brand, product line, or service is launching and needs to reach a defined audience across the entire group simultaneously.

  • Signal: No behavioral trigger required, the launch audience is defined at the group level using shared attributes or cross-brand segments.

  • GLU action: Define the target audience once at the group level. Activate the campaign simultaneously across Email, Web Push, SMS, WhatsApp, and Mobile App Push.

  • Outcome: Consistent, coordinated launch messaging across all channels and brands, with no duplication or conflicting sends.
