NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Experian Marketing Services, a global provider of integrated consumer insights and targeting, data quality and cross-channel marketing, was presented with a People's Choice Stevie^® Award for Favorite New Products and a bronze Stevie® Award at The 12^th Annual American Business Awards in San Francisco, Calif., on Friday, Sept. 12. The company was recognized for its global cross-channel marketing platform, the industry's first and only marketing platform built from the ground up to support coordinated and integrated cross-channel marketing.

Launched in April 2013, Experian Marketing Services' cross-channel marketing platform gives marketers the ability to plan, manage, execute and optimize all of their customer interactions across any channel, all from within a single system — removing the need for separate vendors and platforms.

Leveraging Experian Marketing Services' 30 years of data and email marketing leadership, the cross-channel marketing platform has helped to position Experian's Marketing Suite as the world's most flexible and comprehensive marketing solution. Major enterprise companies and global brands now are using the platform in eight countries.

"Experian Marketing Services' cross-channel marketing platform is groundbreaking for marketers who are obsessed with delivering exceptional and authentic customer experiences, every time," said Ashley Johnston, senior vice president of global marketing at Experian Marketing Services. "This technology helps our clients to meet their customers at every point of their customer journey ensuring optimal and consistent interactions. We make it easy for brands to move quickly from single-channel execution to cross-channel optimization. This recognition underscores our commitment to investing in superior marketing technology products that help our clients create intelligent interactions with their customers."
