SmartFocus Expands its Product Capabilities with Richer Marketing Intelligence

NEW YORK, May 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

SmartFocus, the global leader in intelligent, personalized, omni-channel marketing, is changing the way it helps marketers win, keep and grow their customers. With an expanded suite of products, marketers now have the ability to easily understand how their business is performing and deliver impactful, personalized experiences that engage increasingly connected consumers, turning fans into fanatics and growing the return on their marketing investments.

Building on SmartFocus' technology, the company addresses three key areas of importance for marketers: marketing insights, true personalization and omni-channel campaign management to understand their customers and deliver personalized, marketing interactions across email, social, mobile and the web that convert prospects into buyers and turn buyers into loyal customers.

The company has expanded its suite of products with the acquisition of marketing intelligence company, PivotLink, the leading provider of retail marketing intelligence and analytic applications. With sophisticated analytics at the heart of SmartFocus' solution, marketers gain real-time insights into the performance of their merchandising and marketing strategies. This enables them to refine and deliver personalized, data-driven marketing campaigns; taking the cost and complexity out of retail and marketing analytics and campaign management.

We're really excited to see SmartFocus' new direction," said Jason Bertrand, senior manager, Customer Acquisition, Skullcandy. "We're looking forward to continuing our work with SmartFocus, meeting our customers' expectations, delivering segmented content based on prior purchase history and engagement, and driving new revenue opportunities."

With a strong background in SaaS and On-Premise business models, personalization, CRM and analytics, Mullen brings a wealth of leadership experience to SmartFocus. Under his direction, the company has a healthy plan in place to further develop. This includes new investments in Research and Development, strengthening and increasing the team globally.

"The digital world is evolving at an incredible pace and it significantly impacts us all. Consumers are more connected than ever, and brands must do more than just broadcast their messages - they must connect with customers across every channel with the right message at the right time," Mullen said. "Our goal is to ensure SmartFocus continues to provide marketers with the best digital marketing technology that helps them understand their business' performance, manage their online marketing channels and engage their customers with real-time, personalized digital interactions."
