Experian Marketing Services today announced the acquisition of Conversen. Conversen is a pioneer in developing interaction management technologies that enable marketers to create fully integrated, cross-channel conversations through mobile, Web, social, email and traditional channels.

The acquisition of this industry-leading campaign management technology further strengthens Experian Marketing Services’ integrated marketing suite and provides even more flexibility, efficiency and precision to clients’ engagement strategies.

“As the complexity and demand for more data-driven marketing grows, it’s paramount that Experian Marketing Services stays ahead of these shifts and continues to offer an intuitive, flexible product set that enables clients to engage in consistent, meaningful dialogues with their customers across all relevant channels,” said Matt Seeley, president, Experian Marketing Services.

“The acquisition of Conversen aligns with our commitment to invest aggressively in cross-channel marketing and complements our powerful suite of customer-centric marketing services that better connect our clients with their customers. We fully expect this acquisition to have a tremendous and immediate, positive impact on our clients’ programs.”
