DCA Commerce Code – Details, episodes & analysis

This week on Commerce Code we speak with Avinash Chukka of Cardlytics and Brett Watson and Jeff Hudson of The Coupon Bureau.

Listeners to Commerce Code will know who Cardlytics is - they were a pioneer and primary player in the CLO industry from the start. The Coupon Bureau (TCB) is a nonprofit industry association, like DCA-CardLinx, that was created to develop and promulgate a universal standard for digital coupons. As TCB says, their mission is to seamlessly connect manufacturers, retailers, and consumers with secure, cutting-edge coupon solutions.

Notice the word manufacturers in there - a key piece of this is product brands who would otherwise be issuing paper coupons; this creates a secure digital standard for them to use that merchants can recognize. And it will allow Cardlytics to bring new offers to consumers through their platform.

Episode 180: Reimagining Global Offers: Tokenization’s Impact on Issuers, Merchants & Consumers

This week on Commerce Code we speak with Peter Schultze, Chief Executive Officer of Kigo, and Ben Straley, President and Chief Product Officer at Kigo. Kigo has developed a tokenized offer delivery system that complements existing card-linked offer networks. Today we're talking about how their approach makes it possible to reimagine value delivery for issuers, merchants and consumers.

Through tokenization, the Kigo system is able to deliver more content, more merchant flexibility, instant value to the cardholder, and better attribution. On top of that, offers are shareable and dynamic, so the offer can change even after a consumer has received it.

Taken together, this can drive astonishing new relevance and personalization for the cardholder community—and significant new sources of income for issuers and payment networks.
