Partnership provides unprecedented people-based view of the consumer journey and how digital marketing & media impacts offline success metrics
LONDON – Visual IQ, the leading provider of marketing intelligence software, announced a partnership with LiveRamp®, an Acxiom® company (NASDAQ: ACXM). The partnership will provide Visual IQ customers with a more complete, people-based view of the consumer journey across digital and offline marketing channels, as well as the ability to measure and optimise their marketing and media tactics based on their online and offline impact. As a result of this partnership, consumers’ expectations for unified, relevant engagement across experiences throughout their journey can be better met.
Visual IQ unveils partnership with LiveRamp to measure omnichannel marketing impact
Marketers are tasked with reaching consumers in an increasingly complex, multi-channel, multi-screen world. Technology has created a huge opportunity to leverage data to make smarter decisions. Yet many marketers still struggle to gain a full understanding of how their marketing and advertising influences consumer behavior and drives desired business outcomes. This is particularly challenging when the preferred outcome occurs in an offline environment such as purchasing in a store location or transacting via a call center. Visual IQ’s marketing intelligence solution helps marketers break down these silos by unifying audience insights with attribution across all addressable channels and devices in a single platform. With a holistic, real-time view of tactical marketing and media performance in the context of key audiences, marketers can deliver their best marketing to the people that matter most.
LiveRamp’s platform allows marketers to create an omnichannel view of the consumer, resolving multiple sources of data to a privacy-compliant identifier that can then be utilised in the Visual IQ platform to provide insights that power people-based marketing initiatives.
Through its partnership with LiveRamp, Visual IQ can now provide marketers with an enhanced understanding of how their digital marketing impacts conversions that occur in offline environments. As well as how addressable offline marketing, such as direct mail flyers and catalogs impact conversions that occur online. Specifically, Visual IQ will integrate people-based, offline marketing impressions and conversion data using LiveRamp’s platform into its marketing intelligence platform to resolve the online and offline view of the individual-level consumer journey for multi-touch attribution. By integrating these previously untracked offline impressions and conversion events, marketers will be able to discover which combination of marketing channels and tactics drive different online and offline success metrics, empowering them to make optimisations that maximise business results.
“Without the ability to bridge the gap between the digital and physical world, it’s impossible to gain a holistic view of the consumer journey or effectively manage the total consumer experience,” said Manu Mathew, CEO and co-founder, Visual IQ. “By formalising our relationship with LiveRamp, we are arming our customers with the people-based intelligence they need to tailor their tactics and experiences for customers and prospects to drive the online and offline KPIs they care about most.”
“LiveRamp is committed to helping break down data silos and enable marketers to offer engaging and personally relevant experiences to customers,” said Travis May, LiveRamp president and general manager. “We’re excited that our partnership with Visual IQ will help marketers both decipher the path to purchase and improve the consumer experience.”
