Markin + Google Ads
Suppress the spend that would have converted anyway.
Paid retargeting of customers who would have returned anyway is one of the largest measurable wastes in B2C. Suppression driven by uplift, not propensity, is usually the fastest win in the whole estate.

- Do we have to move our data to Markin?
- No. Markin reads from your warehouse, product events and operational systems in place, on your compute, under the access rules your data team already set. Nothing is copied into a separate customer base and there is no vendor-side profile store to migrate off later.
- Does Markin replace our engagement platform or CDP?
- No, and it should not. Your engagement platform keeps the channel, the templates, the deliverability and the governance. Your CDP keeps identity and consent. Markin adds the layer neither has: deciding which action deserves to exist for each customer, and proving it against a holdout.
- What if the system we use is not listed?
- The four activation patterns cover almost everything: attribute write-back, triggered event, decision API and direct surface rendering. Any system that exposes an API, accepts a table, or can read a warehouse column can receive decisions. New connectors are built during deployment, typically in days.
