Acxiom’s Digital Transformation Services focus on forming strategic collaborations with leading technology, data and service providers to enhance people-based marketing through premier integration, implementation and management service offerings.
“Great customer experiences are extremely difficult to deliver when digital channels like search, display, mobile, and social are constantly shifting and martech and adtech solutions are growing at an exponential rate. We are experts at not only providing a complete view of the customer but also at integrating and managing marketing technology solutions to deliver superior customer experiences. Our exceptional client services and support teams have decades of experience managing and orchestrating customer data and omnichannel technology for our clients, and we are delighted to extend our arsenal of services to leverage Adobe Experience Cloud,” said Dennis Self, co-president of Acxiom’s Marketing Solutions division.
Brands struggle to leverage the latest digital marketing technologies and best practices and are looking for a partner that can help them use digital data and technology capabilities to deliver better marketing results. Building on existing collaborative offerings, which provide identity and onboarding capabilities to Adobe Experience Cloud customers via LiveRamp and integrate Acxiom consumer audience data with Adobe Audience Manager, the expanded collaboration guides and accelerates digital transformation by delivering efficient implementation and management services that optimize marketers’ Adobe Audience Manager and Adobe Campaign investments. The new services enable customers to more effectively leverage omnichannel data assets to identify, create, target and engage the right audiences with impactful campaigns that deliver powerful customer experiences. As a result, consumers receive tailored and relevant messaging, driving enhanced audience engagement.
According to the 2017 Digital Trends report, based on a survey conducted by Adobe and eConsultancy, marketers made personalization one of their top three priorities for 2017, with 51 percent planning to increase budgets to support this initiative. In 2018, digital personalization at scale continues to be a focus for CMOs as a way to improve the overall customer experience.

With the ability to effectively utilize omnichannel data assets, Adobe Experience Cloud and Acxiom customers can ensure they’re engaging with the right audiences to deliver high-impact campaigns,” said Amit Ahuja, vice president, Adobe Experience Cloud Partners and Ecosystem Innovation, Adobe.
