Oracle Empowers Marketers to Leverage World's Fastest Growing Social Media Platform

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Sept. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- To enable marketers to quickly and efficiently target and engage customers on one of the world's fastest growing social media platforms, Oracle today announced a new direct integration between Oracle Eloqua, part of the Oracle Marketing Cloud, and WeChat. The new app-based integration enables marketers to deliver connected and personalized experiences in China and other countries across the globe by seamlessly extending the powerful campaign design, delivery and monitoring capabilities within Oracle Eloqua to WeChat.

In addition, marketers are able to measure the success of campaigns on WeChat by leveraging built-in reporting and analytics within Oracle Eloqua. Furthermore, Oracle is also planning to deepen the integration with WeChat, including enterprise-facing solutions such as WeChat@Work, which complements Oracle's strength in the SaaS arena. This relationship is expected to deliver significant value and innovation to customers so as to empower their efforts to accelerate the modern business.

"Oracle Marketing Cloud has had tremendous success in helping the Enterprise improve their interaction with their customers and bringing that customer relationship to a whole new level," said Mr. Lu Qingwei, assistant general manager, Guangzhou Research & Development Department, WeChat, Tencent. "With the introduction of WeChat@Work, which is a communications and collaboration platform for the enterprise, we look forward to an even closer working relationship with Oracle Marketing Cloud to deliver more personalized engagements and enhance the customer experience for our users through WeChat and WeChat@Work."
