Marketplace Growth Agency Bobsled Marketing Selects Pacvue As Advertising Technology Partner


Pacvue is the leading enterprise platform for brands, sellers, and agencies to manage eCommerce advertising.

Our mission at Pacvue is to provide the intelligence and tools needed to help brands win in the future of eCommerce, says Melissa Burdick, president of Pacvue.

Bobsled Marketing, the leading agency provider for mid-sized brands selling on today’s major marketplaces, has selected Pacvue as its primary advertising technology partner. Pacvue is the leading enterprise platform for brands, sellers, and agencies to manage eCommerce advertising.

Both companies have been lauded by Business Insider as being part of the top 18 companies powering Amazon’s advertising and seller business.

Bobsled selected Pacvue as its primary technology partner to automate and optimize bidding, and produce insightful analysis for Bobsled’s 70 clients. “Online marketplaces are one of several sales channels for our clients, who are typically mid-sized branded manufacturers. Delivering a highly efficient, effective advertising solution to them is a top priority,” says Kiri Masters, founder of Bobsled Marketing.

Brands who seek the best-in-class functionality across advertising automation and analytics, as well as in strategy and execution of their growth plan, will benefit from the partnership of the two companies.

Bobsled cites three key reasons for selecting Pacvue as its advertising software solution: best-in-class automation and reporting features, marketplace expansion opportunities, and a shared focus on educating the market.

Marketplace expansion opportunities

Pacvue has demonstrated a commitment to delivering solutions for not only the largest eCommerce marketplaces, but for fast-growing platforms as well. One of the first-to-market solutions for Instacart Advertising, Pacvue has already helped dozens of brands to capture shopper demand in this channel, and Pacvue will expand to several additional retailers in 2021.

“Our mission at Pacvue is to provide the intelligence and tools needed to help brands win in the future of eCommerce,” says Melissa Burdick, president of Pacvue. “We will continue to expand into new marketplaces so that brands can make smart investments in the channels where their customers are shopping.”

“We are excited to partner with Pacvue to deliver great outcomes for our clients on the Amazon and Walmart marketplaces, but also to uncover new growth opportunities for clients through platforms like Instacart and other major marketplaces as they come online,” says Masters.

Best-in-class automation and reporting features

Recently, Pacvue ranked first among over 40 tools in the “Amazon Advertising PPC Tools Overview” independent review by David Zimmerman, a Veteran Amazon Advertising Educator & Instructor.

“Our philosophy on software and automation has always been to work with best-in-class partners, rather than losing focus on internal development which can also create poorer outcomes for clients. The features and workflows that Pacvue offers across Amazon, Walmart, and Instacart means that our team spends less time on mundane processes, and more time working with clients on their strategy,” Masters says.

Shared focus on educating the market

Bobsled produces an array of weekly educational content, drawing on best practices developed within the company, which includes blog posts & white papers, and a podcast. Kiri Masters has also been a regular contributor to Forbes’ retail publication since 2018, and has authored two books on the topic of Amazon.

Melissa Burdick speaks at some of the retail industry’s leading conferences and is a frequent guest on Bloomberg Technology. The Pacvue team consists of eCommerce veterans and regularly hosts office hours and educational brown bag sessions on the latest best practices and new developments in marketplace advertising.

“It is important for us to partner with a company that shares our commitment to educating the market and progressing the conversations that brands need to have around their ecommerce channels,” Masters says.

“The eCommerce industry is constantly evolving, and we believe the brands that win will be the ones leaning into new opportunities,” says Burdick.

Virdee Launches First End-to-End Contactless Check-in Solution for Hotels and Multifamily Properties


News Image

Using an API-first approach, Virdee has developed a best-in-class, end-to-end product for ID verification, payment collection, access control and remote support.

Virdee, a SaaS company serving the lodging and commercial real estate industries, launched Virdee Concierge today to provide a virtual reception experience for its clients’ tenants, guests, leasing prospects and vendors. Using an API-first approach, Virdee has developed a best-in-class, end-to-end product for ID verification, payment collection, access control and remote support.

Hotels, apartment buildings and other institutional-grade commercial real estate all require a litany of software and smart-hardware systems to operate. It is becoming increasingly difficult for property owners and managers to handle integrations among all these systems. Often, the software and smart hardware is left fragmented and ill-suited for seamless interactions – whether those end-users are property staff or customers. Virdee Concierge solves these problems with a simple, affordable solution that allows owners to maximize the value of their investments in their existing tech infrastructure.


  • End-to-end system provides contactless customer experience – Automates all traditional functions of a reception desk to optimize clients’ needs for on-site staffing while providing guests with a contactless and frictionless check-in experience. Throughout their arrival and in-building experience, end-users can engage directly through Virdee’s mobile app, in-lobby device, iOS/Android Wallet and virtual agents.
  • API-first approach brings together previously disparate systems – Integrates with leading providers of smart locks (RFID/BLE), mobile payment platforms and PMS systems that management companies know and trust. Virdee’s software and approach to integrations enhances and maximizes the utility of each system.
  • Affordable, easy to set up and manage – With limited upfront costs to customers, Virdee Concierge is available on a subscription basis. Since Virdee’s system can handle 100 percent of check-ins via technology, a typical property can save 5,000–10,000 hours in labor costs per year. Also, Virdee’s ID verification and payment collection platform works together to reduce credit card fraud and charge offs – historically a big problem for hotels. Implementing Virdee’s solution allows owners to increase property profitability while providing a safer, secure guest experience than traditional, more manual methods.

Branigan Mulcahy, Virdee founder, said: “Most of the hard work of building integrations has historically fallen to in-house IT teams that often are unable to invest in building and maintaining a robust solution. However, when Virdee builds a key integration, such as with Oracle’s Opera PMS, it can be used by any of Virdee’s customers. This approach means that through each integration Virdee generates a greater ROI than brands or management companies typically could individually.”

Nadav Cornberg, Virdee founder and chief technologist, said: “Virdee Concierge was designed to reduce owners’ costs while elevating the guest experience. Not all end-users have the same preferences on technology, so, in order to provide a complete solution, we offer end-users the choice of interacting via mobile, web, in-lobby device and/or virtual agent. We will continue to add differentiating functionality to make sure our customers have a cutting-edge technical experience and that our products stand above our competition.”
