Experian Marketing Services Helps Marketers Navigate the Complexity of Reaching Consumers Through Emerging Channels

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Experian Marketing Services, a leading provider of data, analytics and marketing technologies to help organizations target and engage their customers more effectively, today announced that Rick Erwin, president of the Data Division, and Ben Isaacson, Privacy and Compliance leader for Experian Marketing Services, will be speaking at the Direct Marketing Association's (DMA) DMA2010 Conference & Exhibition. DMA2010, the global return on investment marketing event, will take place Oct. 9–14 at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, Calif.

On Tuesday, Oct. 12, at 2 p.m. Pacific time, Erwin and Isaacson will deliver Marketing Through Emerging Channels While Protecting Consumers, lending their industry-leading expertise to marketers looking to protect consumer privacy while better connecting with them via digital channels.

Recent media attention, pending legislation and Federal Trade Commission inquiries into consumer privacy mean that now more than ever, marketers must be privacy-centric with their use of new forms of data and targeted marketing efforts.

"The evolution of the digital space allows companies to better understand and connect with customers," said Erwin. "Protecting consumer privacy through all channels — traditional and emerging — is paramount to maintaining strong relationships with them while enabling the industry to continue to self-regulate. Working with a data provider that is an industry-leader in responsible and transparent use of marketing information helps ensure consumer privacy remains at the forefront of activity."

Cross-channel marketing experts will be available to answer attendee questions at the Experian Marketing Services booth on the exhibit floor during show hours in Space #420.

"DMA2010 will feature hundreds of educational sessions, roundtables, forums and case studies led by the best and brightest of the marketing and media communities," said Paul A.
