Launches Platform, Backed by 23 Founding Strategic Partnerships, to Drive Collaboration, Partnerships, Bottom Line Performance and Experiential Market Innovation.

Xperiential Marketplace, LLC (“XM”) has launched an innovative buying group platform, with an educational layer, to drive collaboration, partnerships and bottom-line performance between experiential builders and strategic partner vendors.   XM’s launch is reinforced by formal commitments from a group of 23 key founding Strategic Partners offering traditional and non-traditional products and services to help drive efficiencies through partnerships in both operational and administrative areas. 

XM was founded by two industry veterans, Jason Weddle and Rob Cohen, with a mission to connect experience driven businesses with strategic partners to unlock savings, stronger partnerships and growth through education.  Operating as a buying group, with a layer of education, XM connects experience builders with strategic partners to drive collaboration through partnership and education resulting in better bottom line performance and higher valuations.  

Rob Cohen, a co-founder of XM shared “While experiential builder membership in XM affords access to an industry buying group to drive partnerships between experiential builders and strategic partner vendors – the long-term goal of XM is help business owners better drive their bottom-line performance to create more value in their companies.”  

“Through education, available online and on demand, Strategic Partners will gain improved access to decision makers at experiential builders.  This form of education will also decrease the burden on the time of personnel at companies – while getting the education they need to partner with valued strategic partners for goods and services” according to co-founder Jason Weddle.
