Acronym, Conductor Form Partnership to Advance Intent-Based Marketing

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Nov 2, 2015) -  Acronym, the international digital and search marketing agency, and Conductor, a leading provider of web presence management and SEO technologies, today announced a partnership that enhances the companies' intent-based marketing capabilities by delivering industry leading content mapping proficiency.

The partnership leverages Acronym's proprietary Keyword Objects™ search intelligence platform and Conductor's Searchlight platform to provide the deepest possible insights into consumer intent. Content mapping closely aligns digital marketing with consumer intent by identifying gaps in website content and continuously measuring content performance with regard to marketers' key performance indicators.

"Content mapping is the next key phase in the evolution of search strategy," said Acronym President Michael Bruh. "This partnership combines our expertise in categorizing keywords to different stages of consumer intent with Conductor's ability to create personas by lifestyles or product categories. The result is a visualization of where website content is inadequately addressing consumer needs."

"Content Mapping enables marketers to plan, execute, and measure an effective customer-first content strategy," said Seth Besmertnik, CEO of Conductor. "The technology gives insight into content's visibility online, detects gaps where content is under-performing or missing, and measures content performance along key dimensions like personas, the buyer's journey, and product type. With Acronym's partnership, we are able to empower marketers with unprecedented access to consumer intent. Through our combined technology, marketers have the capability to target their customers with content that is aligned to their consumer journey and meets their search intent."

The partnership with Conductor represents the latest stage of Acronym's intent-based marketing methodology that utilizes the "See," "Think," "Do" concept of engaging with consumers first espoused by Google Evangelist Avinash Kaushik. "See" represents a brand's largest addressable audience. "Think" is a subset of "See" that represents people who are actively interested in a product or service in the future. "Do" -- a subset of think -- is the stage in which someone is ready to purchase a product or service.

"The best way to effectively engage consumers, regardless of the stage they are in, is to have the best possible content strategy and optimization," said Bruh. "Partnering with Conductor puts us both in a position to seamlessly offer a higher level of expert-supported technology and consultancy services for existing and prospective clients."
