Converseon Wins Inaugural SAMMY Award for Best Social Media Agency

NEW YORK – Converseon, the leading full service social media agency, announced that it was awarded the first annual SAMMY Award for “Best Social Media Agency.” Converseon received the Award at the SAMMY Award Gala on September 18th in New York. The SAMMY Awards honor overall excellence and breakthrough achievement in Social Advertising, Media and Marketing. They are presented by DM2, the publishers of digiday:DAILY, an organization that includes hundreds of leading social media and marketing experts, journalists, insiders, marketers, publishers, and social technology visionaries.

Converseon received the award based on its deep experience and vision, overall body of achievement, strength of its client base, history of innovation and creativity and its unique “end-to-end” social solution. Converseon has helped many leading brands effectively “join the conversation” since 2001, making it arguably the industry’s first pure play social media agency.

“We’re very pleased for this recognition by an organization consisting of so many of our respected peers,” said Rob Key, CEO of Converseon.

“We recognize that social is rapidly becoming the center of many digital presences and that sustained success requires an enterprise approach that infuses the value of social across the organization. Our hybrid technology, consulting and agency approach breaks out of the traditional agency model to help provide award-winning social solutions from the inside-out.”

“We believe that the potential for social media to drive value across the enterprise is immense and we are all only currently scraping the surface of its potential. We look forward to continuing to innovate and evolve our solution sets on a global basis to continue our industry leadership,” he added. “We also thank our clients for partnering with us to deliver our end-to-end approach.”

Converseon provides the listening/engagement technologies (Conversation Miner), organizational consulting and engagement services designed to help brands meet their business objectives in the social environment. Converseon’s Conversation Mining technology is designed to capture, report and analyze the conversation for the most actionable insights across organizations and multiple languages.
