Strong Growth in Multi-Channel Business Enables Alliant to Expand Its Solution Delivery Team
Citing increasing demand for customized, ROI-enhancing solutions for direct and interactive marketers, leading provider of behavioral-based consumer segmentation services announces four new hires.
BREWSTER, NY – Defying a severe economic downturn while adapting to a rapidly changing marketing landscape, Alliant achieved strong growth in 2009 on its ability to deliver strong consumer segmentation solutions across channels. After posting a double-digit increase in revenue for the year, the company reported that it was making strategic investments to enhance client service, particularly in the areas of e-commerce and multi-channel solutions. To meet this growing demand, Alliant has added four highly experienced professionals to its team: James Walker, Ph.D.; Renae Gollins; Frederic Velluci; and Malcolm Houtz.
According to JoAnne Monfradi Dunn, Alliant’s President and CEO, “Alliant has performed unusually well during an extremely difficult period for the direct marketing industry. At a time when others are cutting back, we are experiencing growth as a result of our ability to serve as a consultative partner capable of delivering innovative, data-driven solutions to enhance marketing ROI.”
The new hires are part of a program of ongoing investments that will allow Alliant to deliver new multichannel marketing optimization solutions, increase capacity in its batch and real-time processing, and strengthen client service.
Alliant built its reputation on the strength of unique data resources, a highly respected analytics team, and strong client services focused on direct marketing ROI. Over the past two years, the company has developed significant new capabilities supporting digital marketing channels. The ability to deliver transaction-based behavioral data in virtually any channel has made Alliant leading partner for multi-channel marketers seeking improved marketing results.
“This is an incredibly dynamic and exciting era for marketers,” Ms. Dunn continues. “Rapid changes in marketing technology have created amazing opportunities for marketers to increase the relevance,
reach and ROI of their marketing investments. Alliant continually seeks out uniquely talented and responsive individuals who can enhance our reputation for innovation and rigorous analytics and we are delighted to bring the vast knowledge and experience of our new team members to the table.”
