"The mobile market is exploding and more clients are looking to incorporate the channel into their overall marketing strategy," said Mike Fisher, senior vice president at Alterian. "We needed an experienced partner to power our offering for the mobile space, and Mobile Messenger's infrastructure and experience made them the logical choice. By integrating their solution within Dynamic Messenger, we're allowing our clients to tap the mobile channel using a messaging campaign interface with which they are already familiar."
"As more brands turn to mobile, our strategy is to align with partners that have existing, proven multi-channel marketing applications, capabilities and expertise," said Michael Iaccarino, president and CEO of Mobile Messenger. "Alterian is already a prime choice for the world's top brands, and our technology extends their reach into the mobile channel, allowing marketers to effectively engage more consumers in new and exciting ways."
Alterian agency partner RAZOR is among the first to use the new Mobile Messenger capability. RAZOR has implemented the solution with one of their national retail clients utilizing additional Alterian products to create a cross-channel campaign that features mobile marketing alongside web, email, direct mail and in-store POP. The SMS component will primarily focus on promotional activity for store specials and other time-sensitive offers targeted at prospects and current customers.
"Today's consumer enjoys convenience and is constantly on the move," said Michael Harrison, chief strategy officer at RAZOR. "For many of our clients' customers, mobile devices have become the primary tool for communication and interaction, and we're adjusting our marketing strategy to reach them wherever they are."
