Always On Company Based Targeting: Improves cross platform and multichannel marketing
Marketers have learned that the key to effective messaging is to be there with the right message at the right time. Targeting companies and audiences is a good starting point but applying holistic "Always On" messaging campaigns, driven by intent signals, produces the best engagement rates.
Kim Chrystie, Director of Media at EMC, further states, "From a display standpoint, we are partnering with Madison Logic to target our customers with the right message, at the right time. The Madison Logic value proposition is actionable because it combines display reach with uniquely targeted, data-driven demand generation.

We look forward to continued collaboration and innovation across the B2B landscape."
BBN will continue to go-to-market under the BBN brand name for the immediate future, but the end-to-end solutions offered by BBN and Madison Logic will be consolidated and sold as a unified fashion.
