Wiland, Inc. Announces Partnership with Amex Advance(SM) to Develop Multichannel Marketing Audiences

"We are known for delivering highly responsive marketing audiences to our clients. Our ability to help advertisers increase top line revenue and bottom line performance is the best in the business," said Phil Wiland, President and Chairman of Wiland, Inc. "Now, with the addition of Amex Advance's targeting capabilities, our models become even more predictive of consumer response. We expect that thousands of advertisers will immediately benefit from this powerful combination of resources. It will enable them to find more customers, increase revenue, and improve marketing ROI."

Amex Advance leverages the latest machine learning techniques to help predict when a consumer might be in the market for a certain product or service. Amex Advance analyzes over $1 trillion in annual transactions on the American Express closed-loop network, which have been anonymized and aggregated, to develop predictive models about the future buying behaviors of a desired consumer audience. From these models, Wiland and Amex Advance create audience segments predicted to have the highest intent to purchase. To ensure Card Member privacy, Amex Advance never shares personal data with Wiland or its clients–only anonymized scores and insights.

"We're excited to combine Amex Advance's big data capabilities with Wiland's predictive audiences–making it possible for advertisers to deliver more relevant and timely advertising and thus increase their return on ad spend," said Marc Ginsberg, Vice President and General Manager of Amex Advance. "Wiland's history of innovation and integrity and its reputation for delivering superior results reflect Amex Advance's priorities and values."

• Custom-built digital and direct mail audiences specifically created for individual advertisers
