EMB Marketing Sciences brings the ‘who’ to Alterian’s knowhow

innovative partnership set to develop intelligent campaign engine

October 15, 2008

EMB Marketing Sciences, the marketing analytics consultancy, has teamed with Alterian, the leading international integrated marketing platform provider, to manage customer data for visualisation and multi-channel marketing execution.

EMB Marketing Sciences has developed a range of analytical tools and techniques to build customer understanding and enable clients to enhance the experience for their customers. This will combine with Alterian’s campaign management engine, enabling customers to rapidly explore dynamic transactional data to plan and execute campaigns.

“Uniting our expertise means marketers will be able to analyse much faster why groups of customers respond differently and execute complex campaigns more effectively as a result,” said Ian Liddicoat, managing director of EMB Marketing Sciences. “Alterian is an industry-recognised platform and one that will support the integration of our own class leading software tools.”

“Following our rebrand from Quantium to EMB Marketing Sciences, one of our strategic objectives was to launch a sophisticated campaign engine capability,” added Liddicoat. “Initially our focus will be on financial services, as this is our heritage, but this flexible model will allow us to provide tailored marketing solutions for clients in any data-rich industry and across our global network.”

“Alterian is committed to delivering the very best integrated marketing platform, and this partnership with EMB Marketing Sciences adds real intelligence to our campaign management solution,” said David Eldridge, Chief Executive Officer, Alterian. “Getting a better understanding of your customer is of paramount importance in today’s business climate, and EMB Marketing Sciences is a partner we feel can help us to deliver on that for our clients.”
