Ovative/Group Partners with Kenshoo to Increase Search Marketing Performance

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Kenshoo (http://www.Kenshoo.com), a global leader in digital marketing software, today announced that Ovative/Group (http://www.Ovative.com), a boutique digital business consulting firm, now utilizes Kenshoo Enterprise to manage advanced paid search marketing campaigns with its Ovative/Services business unit.

"We sought a robust technology platform to support our clients' sophisticated multichannel search campaigns," said Steve Baxter, executive director, Ovative/Services. "Our clients turn to us to help align and improve online spending based on offline and e-commerce sales. Kenshoo gives us the sophisticated tools, flexibility and automation necessary to create new efficiencies and optimize advertising spend across channels."

Using Kenshoo Enterprise, Ovative has established a dual system that determines how online spend affects online and offline results. The system creates a feedback loop to give credit to search ads driving sales via online or offline to ensure more accurate cross-channel optimization and better results. Now, when search ads drive an in-store or an online sale, the ads responsible for the sale get credit and are optimized accordingly.

"The world's most advanced technology gets even better when experts wield it," said Will Martin-Gill, general manager, Kenshoo Enterprise. "It's impressive how quickly Ovative has been able to leverage the Kenshoo platform to develop advanced campaign strategies and accelerate performance for their clients."

Kenshoo Enterprise offers search marketers advanced automation and reporting, powerful algorithms and optimization tools, and dedicated global support. It runs on the Kenshoo Universal Platform, which serves as a foundation upon which all Kenshoo products are built to deliver scalable cross-channel insights and bottom-line results.
