Gleanster Gleansight Report

KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Saepio, a leading provider of marketing technology for corporations with distributed marketing networks, today announced its inclusion in Gleanster's Gleansight benchmark report focused on Marketing Asset Management (MAM)(1).

As companies expand their footprint, the marketing process becomes even more complex, and organizations struggle for local market relevance while maintaining brand integrity.  MAM serves as the cornerstone to this delicate balance – giving local marketers the tools they need in real time to create effective campaigns that are in line with corporate positioning.  This report explores the reasons to implement MAM solutions, the ways in which MAM helps to address obstacles to global marketing, and the challenges associated with implementing a MAM solution.

The Gleansight report also utilizes a success story from BMW, which utilizes Saepio's marketing technology to power its Motorrad Local Ad Builder for its motorcycle dealerships.  The report states that "technology provides dealers with an enhanced set of benefits, including single-point access to current content, speed-to-market for new content and campaigns and compliance to brand standards. It delivers cost savings to both BMW and its dealerships."

"Unlike other solutions, Saepio holds the marketing assets – the crown jewels of a campaign – at the heart of its platform to power all marketing activities," said John Thomson, President and CEO of Saepio.  "As a result, the entire platform is built around creating straightforward, timely campaigns that tie back to a consistent message regardless of geographic location or target audience demographics."

The full version of the report concludes with an overview of MAM vendors, stating that Saepio "provides a true MAM technology, designed for the challenges of a distributed marketing function... By combining Saepio's distributed marketing platform with SAS's customer intelligence solution, the companies aim to allow users to create and deliver localized and targeted messages to key customers and prospects in the marketing medium of their choice."

Ian Michaels, Gleanster research advisor and one of the report's authors, will be presenting in the Saepio MAM 101 Webinar series on April 19, 2011.  The Webinar, taking place at 10 AM PST, is entitled "Connectivity: The Secret to Success in Distributed Marketing Environments".  Registration is free and can be found at http://info.saepio.com/connectivity-webinar.  The full report can be downloaded here.
