Acxiom (NASDAQ:ACXM)
Historical Stock Chart
From Oct 2019 to Oct 2024
Today at MarketingSherpa's Email Marketing Summit 2006,
Acxiom(R) Corporation (NASDAQ:ACXM) announced that Digital Impact will
now be known as Acxiom Digital. This change in name represents the
successful integration of email marketer Digital Impact and its search
engine marketing business, MarketLeap, with Acxiom Corporation
following last year's acquisition of Digital Impact, Inc. by Acxiom.
The company also announced that Kevin H. Johnson, former vice
president of products and marketing for Digital Impact will lead
Acxiom Digital. William Park, former CEO of Digital Impact, now
oversees Acxiom's InfoBase(R) data business, Acxiom Direct, and Acxiom
Digital.
Acxiom Digital's ability to deliver highly targeted, relevant
communications on behalf of enterprise marketers is enhanced by
Acxiom's world-class data and data services. Acxiom Digital has
already added multiple clients across several industries, including
transportation, technology, publishing, retail, and financial
services. Specific new clients include leading eyewear manufacturer
and retailer Luxottica, and leading consumer and business credit
management company TrueCredit.
"With the integration of Digital Impact's superior offerings and
Acxiom's customer and information management solutions, it was clear
that our venture needed a fresh identity to reflect the success of our
integration and future direction," said Johnson. "The name Acxiom
Digital reflects the positive impact of Acxiom's data and database
services on our digital marketing business as well as our ability to
expand Acxiom's digital marketing capabilities."
Acxiom Digital will continue to serve as a technology, services
and creative partner for all aspects of client digital marketing
programs -- including personalized email, targeted websites, web
advertisements, search engines, RSS and digital direct mail. The
Acxiom Digital vision is to "make every communication count," Johnson
added. "Acxiom data products like Personicx(R) will help clients
create even better targeted and more relevant messages that generate
higher response, and Acxiom customer recognition products like
AbiliTec(R) will help clients measure that response across multiple
points of purchase."
Acxiom also announced the expansion of Acxiom Digital's offerings
to include broader customer acquisition services. Specifically, Acxiom
Digital will apply its search engine and website marketing
capabilities to creating a series of high quality prospect acquisition
websites. These topic-specific sites will be resources for purchase
information and will capture high quality business leads for resale.
Acxiom Digital's initial focus is the education industry, and its
first website is www.healthcareers.net. Acxiom Digital will next
expand to other topics and verticals.
