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.
