New York, N.Y., June 15, 2016 — Experian Marketing Services, a recognized leader in data-driven marketing, today announced it was named a Strong Performer in the Forrester Research, Inc., May 2016 reports, The Forrester Wave(TM): Cross-Channel Campaign Management, Q2 2016 and The Forrester Wave(TM): Enterprise Marketing Software Suites, Q2 2016.
Cross-Channel Campaign Management (CCCM)
• The CCCM report evaluated 15 vendors based on a 26-criteria evaluation on the strength of their functionality for customer data management and analytics, as well as campaign design, execution, measurement and optimization, among others.
• The CCCM report stated, “The Experian Marketing Suite is fueling the marketing service provider’s transformation to a technology vendor. Retail and hospitality customers in particular leverage Experian’s vast consumer data repository to execute more targeted digital and offline campaigns.” It also stated, “Experian is building on its legacy for ‘excellent service and operational delivery’ with technology capabilities that ‘support high-volume, high-complexity, and high-performance’ requirements. One marketer said, ‘We’ve been doing segmentation and personalization since 2001, but with Experian we can do things more quickly and be more responsive.’”
Enterprise Marketing Software Suites (EMSS)
• The EMSS report evaluated nine vendors based on a 40-criteria evaluation. Forrester defines EMSS as an integrated portfolio of marketing technology products that provide analytics, automation and orchestration of insight-driven customer interactions to support inbound and outbound marketing.
• The EMSS report stated, “Experian Marketing Services has leveraged its global services capabilities to quickly expand its marketing technology footprint. Its vast consumer database makes Experian an attractive option for retail, financial services, and hospitality companies. Experian has come a long way in terms of assembling both its solution portfolio and its strategic partner network, especially in a highly competitive marketing technology landscape.”
Experian® is one of seven vendors included in both reports. Launched in July 2014, the Experian Marketing Suite received the highest score possible in user experience in both reports.
“We believe our inclusion and position in these reports perfectly captures the momentum we are seeing for the Experian Marketing Suite,” said Matt Seeley, president, Global Experian Marketing Suite. “We are experiencing tremendous demand in today’s market for systems that provide insight and engagement and can use data to drive powerful, intelligent interactions with customers. By breaking down the data siloes that prevent many brands from recognizing true cross-channel experiences, the Marketing Suite allows marketers to create an actionable, single view of the customer. Beyond the Marketing Suite, Experian’s robust service capabilities and broader portfolio of technology in decisioning and optimization complement our data-driven approach to helping marketers put forward the right message, in the right channel, at the right time — every time.”
