Visual IQ and Ensighten Partner to Boost Marketers' AgilityNEEDHAM, Mass. --(Business Wire)-- Visual IQ, the leading cross channel marketing attribution software provider, and Ensighten, the leader in enterprise data and tag (News - Alert) management, today announced that the companies have formalized their existing partnership. Through this strategic partnership, an application will be offered within the Ensighten Agile (News - Alert) Marketing Platform (Ensighten AMP) that will enable Visual IQ's proprietary tag to be deployed more quickly across a joint client's entire digital marketing ecosystem, bringing an unparalleled level of insight into where credit for a conversion should be attributed. This joint solution will enable brands and agencies to take advantage of more accurate metrics in order to make impactful optimization decisions that improve their marketing ROI. It is widely acknowledged that the "last click" methodology for assigning credit for marketing success is flawed - as are rules-based attribution solutions where credit is distributed via subjective criteria. At the same time, the desire for real-time buying (RTB) of media has become more desirable by brands and their agencies due to its greater scale and efficiency. The coupling of Ensighten's superior enterprise data and tag management solution with Visual IQ's robust set of attribution management tools empowers marketers to not only avoid these flawed measurement methodologies, but to enable the real-time buying process by utilizing a set of optimization instructions that are more accurate and more impactful than previously available. The high-quality business data collected, owned and activated by Ensighten AMP feeds Visual IQ's IQ Intelligence Suite, which calculates the exact amount of credit for a conversion that was earned by every channel, campaign and tactic. This results in a recalculation of a brand's traditional "last click" success metrics into a set of more accurate TrueMetrics upon which marketers can base much more impactful optimization decisions. The integration enables the activation of insights within Visual IQ's IQ Deploy product, thereby increasing marketing ROI, simplifying use and saving marketers considerable time. "Ensighten has built a fantastic reputation as a proven leader in enterprise data and tag management," said Manu Mathew, CEO and co-ounder of Visual IQ. "The company's platform offers a single source of response and conversion data collection for the advertiser, creating an ideal setting through which our technology can deliver meaningful attribution insights. We've worked extensively to build a tight integration with their platform - an effort which I'm confident will significantly benefit our joint clients." The Visual IQ app for Ensighten is already in use by many of their joint customers, including one of the world's largest financial services organizations. "Partnering with Visual IQ is a logical extension of our efforts to bring innovation to the enterprise data and tag management space with solutions that are extremely powerful, highly effective and easy to implement," said David Saxon, VP of Partner Sales and Business Development at Ensighten. "Combining Ensighten AMP with the IQ Intelligence Suite lets the data tell the story as to where credit for a conversion should be given. It empowers our joint customers to make better, more effective campaign decisions, as well as activate insights for higher marketing ROI."
