What is Arc Database Marketing?

Arc Database Marketing works in partnership with Clients as well as other Agency counterparts (e.g., Account Management, Planning, Creative, Production) to seamlessly integrate one-to-one marketing communication into all aspects of the marketing plan. Our role is to effectively harness the vast information already on-hand in Client customer files and databases to shape and deliver individualized customer communication. Vital to our efforts is the compilation and assessment of results that impact future communications.



Our team of database marketing professionals is organized into six service areas: strategy & planning, contact management, marketing operations, modeling & segmentation & analysis, technical consulting, compliance. Some of us are specialists in one area, while others have a more broad perspective. Together, we help our Clients bring together their marketing, technology, analytic, and customer care resources to deliver on the promise of one to one marketing, using our own resources when necessary to get the job done.



Who would be a great addition to the Arc Database Marketing Team?

Database marketing professionals (and those that aspire to be) who believe that great ideas are nothing without great execution and great follow-up. Leaders who individually contribute and effectively collaborate with others. Analysts who are inquisitive, detail-oriented and early adopters of tools and technology. Self-starters who obsess about Client business, constantly challenging themselves to put new ideas on the table ? ideas that build business.
