OREM, Utah - and NEW YORK - May 15, 2009 - Omniture, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMTR), a leading provider of online business optimization software, and WPP's Kantar Group, one of the world's largest research, insight and consultancy networks, today announced a partner relationship that will bring together business critical online analytics and strategic research intelligence under a single marketing platform for integrated reporting and management. Through this ongoing partner relationship, clients can gain a more holistic view of how their online and offline initiatives and branding efforts affect one another. The platform is designed to yield insights that advertisers, agencies and media organizations can use to execute more relevant, personalized marketing campaigns, quickly innovate, and successfully bring to market the products and services their customers want.
Omniture will integrate several Kantar offerings including: online advertising effectiveness and brand measurement from Dynamic Logic; competitive intelligence, audience demographics and behavioral profiling from TNS Media Compete; and attitudinal and lifestyle insights from Kantar's consumer panels, the world's largest online/offline panel collective. These new offers will be delivered to clients through Omniture Genesis, a solution that integrates complementary third-party applications and data with the Omniture Online Marketing SuiteTM.
Other new client benefits include:
"Brands and media companies have only scratched the surface when it comes to using online consumer activity data to create consumer insights and measure marketing effectiveness versus competitors," said Dean DeBiase, CEO, TNS Media. "By combining Compete's cross-site behavior based visitor summaries and competitive site and search data with the optimization capabilities of the Omniture online marketing platform, marketers will now be able to deliver marketing messages with greater speed and precision, and as a result, improve their ROI."
"Teaming up with Kantar is another step in the strategic relationship between Omniture and WPP as our joint solutions are being brought into the executive suite at Fortune 500 companies," said Josh James, CEO and co-founder, Omniture.
