“The GasBuddy audience represents over 20 million active users annually, offering substantial scale for brand and retail partners across the ecosystem,” said Todd Gulbransen, Senior Vice President, Consumer Programs and Marketing, PDI Technologies. “The integration of enhanced in-app communications includes advertising and offers that provide value for the everyday c-store shopper, while also delivering expanded reach and critical insights for brands and retailers. Ultimately, we’re creating a next-level experience for consumers that drives more data and value for brands as we solve for what otherwise has been a very fragmented market.”
To further deepen its consumer focus, PDI is assembling dedicated teams of account executives, business development partners, and sales representatives focused on the consumer space. These teams include associates with deep backgrounds in data and the CPG market from their previous positions with leading consumer and research companies. Additionally, Jamie Hudson will transition to the newly created role of Senior Vice President, Partner Development, to guide the new teams. Hudson has an extensive career in connecting CPGs, consumer brands, and convenience retailers.
“We’re investing in the way we work with leading consumer-focused brands and services throughout the convenience ecosystem,” said Hudson. “By creating more opportunities for targeted marketing and consumer reach with GasBuddy, increasing emphasis on data efficiency and cleanliness, and decisively allocating resources to serve CPGs and brands, we’re better aligned to help our customers achieve their growth goals.”
PDI will continue its commitment to accelerating growth for consumer brands at its Connections Live event from August 25 to 28, 2024, in Washington, D.C. The newly expanded conference will feature targeted education for CPG leaders exploring convenience retail’s potential. With influential sponsors including Fintech, Avalara, FYIsoft, and Rovertown, Connections Live will provide a unique industry perspective.
